Napolitano Scolds Reporter for Airing Complaints of Dead Border Agent's Family

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, leaving the funeral of a murdered Border Patrol agent Wednesday, scolded a reporter for asking her to address the victim's family's concerns that not enough is being done to secure the southern border.

The family of agent Brian Terry had complained that Napolitano had offered them "empty words" when she called to express her condolences. Terry's father, Kent Terry, in an interview with ABC affiliate KGUN, said he told Napolitano to "wake your man up in the White House," to which she replied that he's done more in two years than any president.

Napolitano attended the Detroit funeral Wednesday where she vowed "swift justice" for Terry's killers. But asked about the family's concerns outside the service, Napolitano said "now is not the time to talk about all that has been done."

She said more agents and technology are on the border than ever before, but told the KGUN reporter it's time to remember the fallen agent and not start picking fights.

Its all Keystone Cops and a Chinese Firedrill combo. The whole bunch is lost, but will not admit it.

It would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high.

Nipple-atano stands for everything reprehensible with the thugocracy currently in power. Honest reporters and commentators should directly question every single move and movement and NEVER let her off the hook.

She’s drunk with power and her “enemies list” would make Heinrich Himmler feel positively inadequate.

She may be the greatest single threat to liberty today.

“She is as arrogant as her puke of a boss.”

You’re right. She is arrogant.

And a bonehead to match.

I got news for Nappy, swift justice for all would be for her to do her job and protect Americans in our own country. She’ll never do it.

I could see her presiding over some Final Solution for political opponents. I'm dead serious about that.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, Janet (you slug). We STILL have open borders.

She will be gone soon enough as will Holder and all the other Communist cronies of BHO. Hopefully some of them will join Bam Bam and his new cellmate Bubba in Leavenworth Prison.

Being liberal means never having to say "I'm sorry I contributed to the death of your son."

When she claimed that Obama had sent more agents to the border, I wish the reporter had asked; “and just how are these desk jockies helping our security?”

Nappy said the Agents and others told here differently and were not scolding her like the family.

True, . .to an extent. She met the Agents unit and had a private muster with them and other Agents. They HAMMERED her over the policy of catch and release, not prosecuting drug smugglers unless they were caught with over 500-lbs of dope, and most importantly, arming Terry and his unit with bean-bag rounds in their shotguns.

Yes, bean-bag rounds.

They were working this area where bandits that were raping and robbing from the cartels (tells you how violent the bandits were), but yet, Nappy and her minions in DC directed less-than-lethal rounds be used first, you know, so no mexican bandits would be killed.

Nappy was scolded all the way through the private muster/meeting.

Careful, Mr Terry, or you'll sind up on AG Holder's terrorist watch list.

Actually, the funeral was NOT a time for the reporter to pick a flight with anyone.
