They were human smugglers. Nobody is trying to get smuggled from US into Mexico, so you have to be in Mexico to keep your business going. Pretty bold to charge USBP officer who has his gun out and is drawing down on you, more stupid than bold I guess.

I've heard that there is another video that shows the guy who got shot as holding out his arm like he's aiming a gun at the the lone border patrol guy.
That is this video. Look closely around 1:20, arm extended, maybe he was just pointing at the officer:rolleyes:

At the start of the video, there's one guy already through the fence, and the three other fellas are starting to go through the fence (into US) when the BP agent comes up. When the three "not quite through the fence" fellas see the BP agent, they try to run across the ditch back home, and he grabs one of them.


I think they should just set up sniper posts with beanbags and rubber bullets for a while, and scare the holy hell out of the messikans and give them some Hugh Jass welts with the beanbag guns and rubber bullets.

And if that doesn't work, maybe they could consider real bullets.

Good one. That is funny!

when rocks are outlawed... only outlaws will rock out

Let's get a copy of the surveillance video of our side of the fence.

The way I consider the answer to your question...

If I were in the officer's position, would I have been in danger of death or great bodily harm, outnumbered, by people throwing rocks at me?

Yes. Without taking action, they would cause great bodily harm. They have the ability, and are demonstrating the intent to do so. Bang.

calderone issued a statement saying that 90% of the rocks that can be traced through serial numbers came from the united states.

Head416 06-11-2010 04:02 PM
Rocks that are already outlawed in the United States!

Totally agree, but then if I am the President of Mexico I have to spin this to stay in office.

Someone starts throwing rocks at me, be it on the border with Mexico or Israel, I am going to defend myself. Its not a difficult concept to grasp once you have been on the receiving end of deadly missles like this.

Well, knowing that BP officers are being murdered, I don't blame him at all for protecting himself & this country from invaders..
