From channel 10
SAN YSIDRO, Calif. -- An officer-involved shooting leaves one man dead, 10News reported.
The man was in a van and allegedly tried to run over customs agents.
The agents fatally shot the man in the head.
The shooting shut down the San Ysidro border and traffic is backed up.

Let's see how quickly this incident
gets politicized on both sides of the border.

Let's hope we don't find out this driver was suffering a heart attack or diabetic episode. I can't imagine why else someone would try to "run the
border" going south from the north. Prayers to the family of the driver and the border agents. Sad..........

I was just going to post on this as I have just got the story from local sources.
The van had just "smuggled" some locals from Baja and was returning to Mexico. It had been followed as part of the "new order" of things on the
boarder. As the van was waiting to cross the boarder a US officer rapped the window with his baton and told the van not to proceed. The driver put the
truck in gear to run the boarder and the officer shot him in the head. Then several other officer open fire on the van.
I was going to ask how are things like this and the fence we are going to have, and decrees like this afternoons senate vote to make English "our
common and bonding language" going to effect the lives of Anglos in Baja? I was just getting ready to retire down there.
Cheers,
Mike Stevens

It seems as if the U.S. authorities is much harsher on those who try to sneak from the U.S. into Mexico than Fox is to the Mexicans who try to sneak
into the U.S. What were those guys doing anyway - making a run for the border?

Wasn't a van. It was a nice SUV. Must have been some top shelf coyotes.

FOX-NEWS says driver dead, passengers not injured. Agent did what he was trained to do, and he will be fine. Timing is bad, tho.

The way that I heard it was the vehicle in question was chased from the U.S. side of the border near Otay and was pursuded to the San Ysidro south
bound 5/805 entrance. After refusing to stop.......shots were fired.

Just got home, it's 11:06PM and border is still closed. Had to cross @ Otay, took me only 20 minutes from the bridge @ the last US exit (I wont try to
explain my route, it's more complicated than my carpool explanation), but it took Mrs. ferna 2 hours from the 805 to the Otay border crossing.
The black SUV is still there and the crouds of mirones on the bridge is hughe.

A typical example of "Distorted Fact" reported by different People with different ideas , Backgrounds, Spin, Ignorance, !!!
"Just the Facts Mam" would be so much better than all the Blogs and Spin.
Will our Culture ever return to the "Truth"?

Hey Pack!
"It Seems" is very much like"If",
I remember an old saying from years Past:;
"If Roberta Had Had Balls, we would have called her Uncle Robert"!
Are you Youngsters so addicted to TV and Media that you never get out and find out about"Life" and what really goes on in the "Real World" ??..
Have you been trained by the Professors who teach from a book, with no ctual experience?
When it gets down to the "Nut Cuttin" you had better be prepared for Life from the Trenches, not the Hype from the Media and Spin Merchants.
Good Morning Nat.
