OK, take a look at this video (it is not pretty). I want your honest opinion, jodiego. Should the border patrolman just stood there and taken the rock
in the head, or should he have shot the guy?
Also, please explain to all of us precisely how you would have diffused the situation shown in the video.

after watching the video all i can say is....
it seems that the guy who got shot was from a place where the gene pool was so shallow that it dried up every summer......
"support your local border patrol agent" or shut the **** up.
these guys don't deserve to be put into these life changing events. nobody does. not even the guy who made the ultimate mistake. but it was HIS
mistake. it's a rough world out there.

So who is upset about the guy getting shot in the butt? The mexican law enforcement? Is this the same mexican law enforcement who had the guy in
jail that ran over and killed the US Border guard and then they let him go free?

It appears to be in the minds of a few Nomads who tend to romantasize everything about La Baja to the point where they are not in touch with reality.
A little pragmatism is in order here ...

As Custer said some time ago. "Spare the rifle and spoil the indian"
I think a more strong stance is warranted with cross border arrests should that be required because of Mexicos inability to police their own
state.
The advice I am about to give you is worth what you are paying for it.

the video shows a guy throwing something at close range at a BP agent. was this on US soil? sorry but I think the agent was justified in shooting
the idiot.
perhaps Mexico cannot police its own state but obviously either can the USA. evidence of this is the TENS OF MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS (forget the
"undocumented immigrant" pc crap) residing and working within the USA right now and right under everyone's noses in plain view. i would like to see a
real border fence, maybe an electric one that actually works, the exodus of Mexicans into the US is insane for both countries.
how are things now for the illegals these days with a slowdown in the economy? i'm donw here so not in the know just curious. i know there's a ton
of work here and not enough folks to fill all the positions.

You are being unfair to the leaders of the free world,captains of industry,rock stars(rolling stones) and me with your anti white haired old man bias.
Lucky for us there are many young men happy to evolve into us just so they can be one of the above.
The advice I am about to give you is worth what you are paying for it.
