He even has a sign nailed on his property warning "No damn trespassing. Beware of mule." In case anyone misses the point, Bush fires off a shot after hanging the sign, a gunpowder punctuation mark that declares he means business.

Follow-through is not always the media's forte. Thank goodness, then, for documentary filmmakers who make sustained and methodical reportage their strong suit.
