    Let me get this straight. Mexicans try to enter the US illegally, get caught, run back and start attacking federal agents by throwing rocks. The agents defended themselves and now Mexico is complaining because someone died after fucking around with a federal agent.











    :facepalm: I don't get it. Those guys down there get all my respect for having to defend that border.

    I think we should go ahead and occupy Mexico. We could always use a 758,449 sq mile offroad park. What better to have at an offroad park, then a few resorts?

    How many yards was this shot from? If its more than 10 or so, good shot!

    I probably would have done the same thing because you never know if the kids do have a weapon or if a rock will hit you just right seriously hurting you. What was he supposed to do, throw rocks back?

    Just heard an "eyewitness" account and it sounds like the agent was kneeling and trying to restrain/protect a subject and shoot at the same time. My guess is the head hit was the result of a dynamic situation.

    Exactly, I find it asinine that they expect to come here illegally then demand an apology from us when they get injured or killed while crossing the border.
