Just watch how this border guard will be vilified."
I doubt he will be vilified any worse than if he had yelled at the guy to stop it.
This way it's one less to testify against him.

Any of yall see the picture of the woman that was stoned to death? They weren't tossing pebbles. Rocks can kill you.
To: SandRat
Mexican authorities took the man to a hospital, where he died. Too bad!

"Smugglers are throwing softball-sized rocks, hunks of concrete and whole bricks at agents, either out of frustration or to try to get authorities to back off."

We're on the same team.

"Ughhh.... huge mistake." Hardly. It's self defence. You may think rocks are harmless, but they can kill you just as dead as a bullet. Justified shooting, no matter how hard moonbats scream.

IMHO If we made it a policy that the border agents shot back immediately at anyone who attacked them, we would have fewer "incidents."
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Rocks can kill or maim just as easily as a bullet. EEE, you are usually more sensible then this.
When was the last time you saw soldiers in war carrying a load of rocks?
The last time a rock did serious damage in a battle was David vs. Goliath.
To: SandRat
Several people on the other side of the border then began throwing rocks at the agents, and one officer was struck in the head.The article doesn't get into it, but do ya reckon the other folks quit with the rock throwing when this scumbag got shot?

"Just watch how this border guard will be vilified." It doesn't matter what media says. We already know they side with terrorists, and will do anything to discredit those who try enforce the laws in this nation.

The question is: Did the shot kill him or did something else?

Any of yall see the picture of the woman that was stoned to death? In stoning, the victim is almost always immobilized, and even then I would guess the first hit is rarely fatal.
Watch and see though, charges will be brought against this agent. (Thougth I feel they should not be)
To: SandRat
Rocks are dangerous objects. The officer did right.

" Mexican authorities took the man to a hospital, where he died." well there you go. The border guard didn't kill him after all. Some fat Liberal was getting lipo suction for cheap, and there were noMexican Doc's available to treat the guy for his wound, so they killed him and tossed him on the pile.
To: SandRat
The officer then shot [Good] at a man who was getting ready to throw another rock, the Border Patrol said. Mexican authorities took the man to a hospital, where he died [Excellent].

I have had Mexican kids throw rocks at my truck driving along the Border Highway in El Paso.
Is this along Doniphan?

No doubt. Look what happened to the last two. The Border Patrol need to stand up for their people IMO.
