My family and the Krentz family have been connected for almost 100 years, as my mother, Jeannette Lindner Jones, and Bertha Krentz Ramer were lifelong best friends, having met as little girls in front of the 8th Street Krentz home. I have grown up going to school with several of the "Krentz & Kimble kids" and have always had a deep respect for both of these families. I am deeply saddened by the tragic incident that ended Rob's life much too soon, and by the violence that has visited our childhood hometown and our memories of growing up there. You are all in my thoughts & prayers at this time of such deep sorrow.

Some dullard said that legalizing marijuana would have prevented this murder. That statement is pure ignorance. The drug and human smuggle will continue. To be able buy the marijuana without tax or other drugs will still flow north into our country.
Placing the National Guard on the border has been done, and accomplished nothing because of the lame orders they had while they were down there. It was just a dog and pony show. Placing the NG down there with orders not to retreat when confronted by armed invaders would be more appropriate. Our country has become too cowardly and "politically correct" nowadays, and will continue to fail if common sense is not utilized. "

Sad, so so sad. Proof that we need to legalize marijuana in this country, and pull the the "profit rug" out from under the criminal drug traffickers. Tax the MJ,like alcohol, to balance the state's budget and make it available for medicinal use to people it can help. This is a friggen plant, put on this earth by God,Its stupid that a person has to lose his life because of a bundle of dried plants that should be treated like hay, but our government has made it a cash crop for the cartels.OUR GOVERNMENT CAN PUT THEM OUT OF THE MARIJUANA BUSINESS OVERNIGHT!

Running to Mexico was probably a way to mislead the investigators. I'm certain that the suspect will return to the U.S. the "legal way" and continue to use UDAs' to smuggle his stuff. I'm confident the investigators will get to the bottom of this and capture the murderer.

It's unfortunate that Mr. Krentz had to lose his life because he stepped forward and was not afraid to report illegal activity.

I understand a life was taken and that is horrible. the drug trafficking is never going to stop until the demand for drugs exist. Instead of wasting tax dollars on security on the border we need more Chemical Dependency counselors to stop addictions oh yeah and better parents who teach their children not to consume drugs!! for illegals come on they do the jobs people will not do!! they are not here to harm but to look for a better future for their kids! that is what America is about!!

Maybe you work for one of these corrupt agencies and that is why you are so defensive. To turn this around and call me stupid and fallible just shows how oblivious you are to the real problems in our society and our BORDERS!!

Since he taught of love, peace and being good to your NEIGHBORS!! So does that mean that his words were nonsensical and said in vain? I would like to love our law enforcement and other agencies as my neighbor, but they themselves have made us their worst enemies. I do apologize to the law enforcement workers who do a wonderful job day in and out and who also respect every individual out there and I will continue to support the "just" on either side.

However,there is just one question I have for you Tragedy(PhD)let see if you can answer this one: How many apples does it take to spoil a bunch? :P hmmm Their have been incidents that have happened to my family and friends, but neither I nor my family and friends have to disclose what these corrupt government officials have done in the past, but they know who they are and I will leave it at that.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT until the time is right.

To the Krentz Family I give my sincere condolences and I hope you don't take offense to all the politic bashings that is occuring on this blog.

Mr. Krentz was a true Christian and did help his fellow neighbor. His death was not in vain and hopefully this will bring us together and not divide us. I will keep him in my prayers!

Happy Easter to all!!

I have known Rob and Susan for quite awhile.I've always considered them to be fine folks.

I can't begin to express the outrage I have felt since hearing of Rob being murdered.

Anyone with any sense at all knows of the volatile situation we are facing. Many of us have known for years of the violence that has been taking place on the Mexican Border. NO... this isn't the first rancher who has been killed by drug runners or illegals. Our government officials have been closing their eyes to the facts for many years. Our former governor couldn't control the situation while governor and can't do it now that she's in Washington. Bottom line SHE JUST ISN'T QUALIFIED... NOR WILL SHE EVER BE.

This brings me to my bottom line. Folks... we have to be smarter about who we elect as our govenment officials. The leadership we are experiencing at this time is pretty sad. It's not the leadership that a lot of us grew up under and consequently the United States of America that we have all loved and some of us pledged our lives to defend is quickly disapearing.I only pray there are enough REAL PATRIOTS left in congress who will get their heads out of their "FOURTH POINT OF CONTACT -- (AIRBORNE)" and do what is right for those of us living along the Mexican Border.We seem to have plenty of troops to control the border between Syria and Iraq. How about giving some of them a little "R&R" and let them put their skills to work for us.They have the training and I'm sure they'd really love to defend their own country here in the USofA. "

" To all sensible readers please think hard and think fast. It has been long overdue for humans to finally act “humane” and live altruistically and speak out to the right people urging change. The War on Drugs has resulted in more civilian casualties than we all want to admit too. Whether it is due to drug addiction, overdose or drug related homicide we all have to face facts that it is inherent and impossible to stop when GOOD people do not act. We hide behind sympathy, empathy and most of all apathy when these assaults on humanity don’t directly affect us. When it is not our father who is murdered, our mother who dies or our children that are killed insensibly, we simply like to point fingers. We waste our breath living in the past where our errors can no longer be healed nor can they help the present specifically by arguing what color, race or creed committed the crime or whose land is whose land. We should focus our attention to the root of what facilitates these acts. It’s a matter of supply and demand. Without demand there will be no need for supply and all Evils that surround it. We all want to focus on the “illegals”, “the politicians” and “the government” when we need to look at ourselves and say “what have I done to make a positive change not just for me but for my fellow humanity”. These statements are to argue to all sides by saying “do something and act by not simply speaking”. A man was murdered and his life has been lost due to a drug trafficker’s lack of admiration or value for human life. If and when the truth surfaces, we may come to find that this murderous act was simply retaliation for interfering with 209 lbs of organic matter that so many Americans demand and by those means give it ludicrous monetary value that feed the Evil’s greed,…but to what end? Choose your fight as I have chosen mine. With all humility I have been one of you who sit behind the glass and sympathized. Don’t waste your breath in the wrong forum. Stand up and act as if this was your father, your mother or your child that has been taken from you. Think hard and think fast and we all have something valuable to say. We should not be comfortable with possibly being the next survivor looking down at the earth that swallows up our dearly departed or even worse, a victim. Find the fight within in you and stand up against drug addiction, illegal immigration, apathy and indifference. If you disagree then fight for increased militarized border fortification, for legalization of Marijuana grown on American soil and zero-tolerance on drug offenders and traffickers. If you agree to disagree, find the forum best fit for your misplaced efforts. I hope I have not wasted my breath here but with these last words I know I have not.

" It never ceases to amaze me that even on the verge of tragedy there are still people who will blame law enforcement for everything that happens. For all the people that say that Border Patrol does nothing and that all they do is sit around in their cars, you should really try and get some facts before you say anything. You should consider the fact that most of the time Border Patrol Agent are sent out on calls by themselves, even if this means they are going after a group of 15 or more illegal aliens. They are also sent out alone when trying to stop the drug mules from crossing over; all while making sure that they do not harm or kill any of the aliens or drug mules they are chasing. Because as we all know the government would rather bury an innocent person like Robert Krentz or a law enforcement agent instead of giving them the right to protect themselves, because yes, many illegal aliens want to come here to work, but, lets face it most are criminals trying to cross back to do more damage, just like they’ve done this weekend. Instead of pointing fingers and blaming one another we should all join together and put pressure on our government to make the necessary changes to stop these senseless acts from reoccurring. Although, I did not know Mr. Krentz personally I have heard many great things about him and I am more than sure that with the kind of heart he had he would rather we join together than blame one another.

I am very saddened by Mr. Krentz' death and extend my condolences to his family, and what they need right now is for everyone to back off and let them grieve in peace without all the insanity that everyone is creating around them with their inaccurate remarks. You are making derogatory comments towards everyone from our Border Patrol to our President when no one really knows what happened.

I know that there is a huge problems with illegals committing crimes but the U.S. has always had a good relationship with our neighbors to the south and badmouthing all of their residents will not make anything better.

I didn’t know Mr. Kerntz but from what I have heard he was a very caring and kind man that would take his shirt of his back to give to another (no matter what race). I know that this statement might not be comforting but everything happens for a reason, God has a plan for all of us. Maybe this happened to start a productive movement (in his name) to make our borders a safer place. I have a dream that because of the unfortunate death, it will open the eyes of our government and new programs will be put in place. If we stand united we can succeed. I have another dream that when people hear Rob Kerntz’ name they will think many great things, but one thing is that he gave his life to make things better for others in the area. I ask that your family, the other ranchers and the people that did not know Mr. Kerntz but were touched by the way he lived (myself included) come together and fight for the programs that should have been in place years ago. That way Mr. Kerntz did not die in vain and something positive can come out of this horrible event, so this will hopefully never happen to another family. I hope someone that has more computer knowledge can create a website to get people together to put pressure on the government and give knowledge to people that don’t have the facts about what happens on the border. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and other ranchers during this tough time.
For the person (Concerned) that implied this is a conspiracy that the person didn’t run to Mexico. That the BP lied and stating that they have a bad reputation hint, hint. Yeah, it was a BP agent that shot him and it is a cover-up, COME ON! Are you as stupid as you sound? You don’t have the guts to say what you think the BP has done wrong; you just try to hint at it. Let’s hear it… Why did you put that? By writing that comment you are implying that the following agencies and people are lying… The Border Patrol, the Sherriff’s Dept deputies and detectives, Cochise County Search and Rescue, DPS Rangers, oh and last but not least the family members. For your comment “I love the way that the US likes to clean their tracks with Mexican aliens.” Where are you getting this “crap”? It was stated by Sheriff Dever that they have no idea if the suspect is a man or woman and of what nationality/race. I am sorry that you choose to see every person and agency as a liar. When the rest of the story comes out after they hopefully figure out who killed Mr. Kerntz I hope you are ashamed of the comment you wrote and write a comment apologizing to the persons/agency you defamed. Your grandmother seemed to be a smart woman, but I think she would tell you that for her saying to work you must have lies where are they? The government obviously has not cared or taken this problem seriously. I hope that enough people will open there eyes to how bad this problem truly is. Instead of making negative comments about the agencies that are involved we should support the family and unless people make comments that are productive or showing support then don’t write them.

"Oh, that the tracks lead right back into Mexico"...ok lets all put our hands up and believe that. I am sorry to say that the Border Patrols have a bad reputation around town for being less than professional if you know what I mean...hint hint!! There is more to this story and it will eventually come out. My grandma had a saying...The lie lasts until the truth comes out!

LOVE HAS NO BORDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" To over watcher, the authorities tracked the murderer all the way back south to Mexico. Gee, I wonder what race he could be? The killer is obviously from Mexico. And no I am not racist,as I am Hispanic and my parents were born in Mexico. Lets be realistic and stop trying to defend the illegal border crossers. "

" My prayers are with the Family Krentz.
It is sad that a tragedy like this is used to attack a community that is already quite oppressed, groups of of all races and nationalities, with or without legal status have their bad apples, that is no reason to stand up against an entire community.(in this case there still unknown details)
Thousands of immigrants have died along the border in their attempt to come to work...coming to work! not because the health care, that is more accessible in their home countries, not for the food stamps or welfare , they do not even know those programs exist, they came from the dream of work and provide for their families.
The abuses to the system (because there may be many) should be solved by other measures , it seems that the easiest is to blame illegal immigrants for everything.
The real problem for immigrants without legal status and for the Americans are the criminals who have managed to get more out of the need of both parties than the Governments of Mexico and the United States.
Across the border there traffic in arms, drugs, human traffic and human rights violations committed every day, all moving in all directions.
The only thing that have been created are laws that push this immigrants more into the shadows.
Do you think the criminals (real problem) care for:
-College students without legal status will pay as out of state? ha ha
-Employers sanction law? ha ha, criminals do not need E verify for they business...
-The new Arizona trespassing law? sweet! will be even easier to commit crime, many will not report anything to the police,(again illegals the perfect target); as in this case, we do not know what happened, the illegal are commercial product in the border, and sadly if there were valuable witnesses, they do not want to be found.

Thoughts of the family wrote on Mar 29, 2010 11:17 PM:

" My heart goes out to this family and the friends of Mr. Krentz. But after reading the above opinions, I feel everyone should stop take a deep breath and take the time to think of the family that is going through during this rough time. They lost their loved one,and are in a very unsettling place
right now. People should stop and think before they write some things, no one knows for sure what really happened yet, but yet all the different stories are going wild. If the ranchers and others take matters into their own hands that will only cause more greif in the long run. Let Sheriff Dever and his staff do their job and find the true guilty person. That will be the legal way and the way I'm sure both Mr.
Krentz and his family would want it done. Everyone just needs to be aware of their surroundings no matter where they are. And lets all help the Sheriff's Dept. to do their job. "

" My condolences go out to the Krentz and Kimble families. Although I didn't know Rob personally, I often saw him at church. May he now enjoy his eternal reward albeit all too soon.

How tragic and sad that an event like this is what it takes to bring attention to what members of this community have feared and known all along.

I know what should happen now but since "everyone" has "rights" we dare not speak up for fear of offending all the activist groups, etc. Maybe the Minutemen Group had it right..... "

" My condolences to the Krentz family... So how many more Americans must die before the cowards in Washington do something useful for a change... Napolitano's probably hiding under her desk right now, Obama's a coward not to put troops on the border, he's probably dispatched Hillary to apologize to the Mexican government... "




rancher wrote on Mar 29, 2010 7:23 PM:

" Words can not justly describe the pain felt by the RANCHING community, and friends of the Krentz'. For this to happen to a man with more heart for human's in general, is disgusting. My heartfelt condolences to my fellow friends of Rob and Sue, and the rest of the Krentz family. I have a feeling that it will be much worse in near future before it gets better. I forsee more deaths of innocent AMERICANS and UDA's before the GOVERNMENT AND OBAMA/BIDEN/PELOSI, AND THE REST does a single thing. "

" When will this nation wake up to the fact that we are in a war for our very survival? On our boarders. In our states. In our cities. And especially in Washington. Rome burned as Nero (aka Obama et al who actually lit the fires), fiddled. November can't come soon enough. But it won't bring back Rob Krentz - a father and husband who proudly carried on the pioneer spirit that made this country great - a love of freedom that made the west what it once was - the most free territory in the land of the free. Maybe the time has come to change "Remember the Alamo" to "Remember Rob Krentz!" "

What Happens Now wrote on Mar 29, 2010 11:03 AM:

" First of all,my sincere condolences to the Krentz family and surrounding ranching community for your loss. In the past you have read on this website about how when a mexican national is shot or some event takes place, right away the mexican government is quick to act and express their disconcern. Well Mr.Consulate is your office expressing their concern today for an AMERICAN CITIZEN who lost his life on his own land? Probally not! I did not know Mr. Krentz, but Douglas is small community and word of mouth says he was a kind and caring man. What happens now? Is the Government willing to listen now? Do the surrounding ranchers have to take matters into their own hands so the can be chastised and told they can't defend themselves. Where is the Border Action Network sitting on this one? "




D. D. wrote on Mar 29, 2010 9:55 AM:

" I am really upset to learn of the murder of Rob Krentz. I went to school with all three of their children. Living by the border my whole life comes into question what is going to happen next. We have no help from the border patrol. They do more setting on the pavement then out there hiking looking for illegals. If things dont change there will be alot of dead illegals out there because ranchers and farmers will take things into their own hands if the government wont step up. "




Rand Rice wrote on Mar 28, 2010 5:15 PM:

" Rob Krentz was my cousin and even though I havent seen him in years, we were close before.
But my point here is, another good American citizen was sentenced to death by an apathetic american congress (and yes, the small letters were intentional) just to keep from alienating the Hispanic illegals in the United States. Rob stopped to offer assistance to an injured illegal on his ranch, and was killed for trying to help. Our representatives need to get off their butts and start enforcing the southern borders to prevent more of this in the future.
