“..the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones...”

I guess it wasn’t “fair” that the Border Patrol agent used a gun in a rock fight. Mexico is saying, if their guys use rocks - we have to use rocks or it’s not the “proper” response.

Good grief. The agent had one perp on the ground and all the while these “youths” were throwing rocks at him. He fired in the air and issued several warnings - they didn’t quit. I guess he was supposed to just let them hit him.

Don’t throw rocks at men with guns. How hard is that?

I hope they're not angry enough to stop crossing the border illegally.

i.e.

Law breaking Mexican juvenile delinquent thug shot dead for attempting to kill US Border Patrol agents - Patriotism high among Americans!

"the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force".....

Ah, c'mon Isreal does this all the time and we never call it a disproportionate use of force. Chill out dude. Mexicans and Palestinians are expendable.

Put up signs in Spanish at the border: “We shoot rock throwers”

Finally at least one person decided to defend our border.

“outraged Mexico”

The Mexicans act like the BP strung his body on the fence, like a dead coyote. They didn’t do that, did they?
If no, why not? When my grandfather did that on his ranch in Oklahoma, his stock losses stopped, at least for a while.

We haven’t spanked Mexico for quite a while. Maybe it’s about time again.

Past time. Many of us in Texas are ready. Looks like AZ is showing the way however. Where's Gov. Goodhair???

Now, if the headline was “Border agent shot by Mexican teen.”, well......it wouldn’t be a headline, now would it?

That boy is dead because Obama has failed his duty.

Close the damn border.

I still remember the day my cousin Tammy was blinded by a boy throwing rocks-Awful. She came up the roadway with blood pouring down her face.

Texas Rangers posed for photographs with the bodies of three of the raiders killed in an attack on the giant King Ranch in the summer of 1915.

Once upon a time Texas had leaders who knew how to stop an invasion.

Darn. That's horrible.

Hey! Maybe Mexicans shouldn't be hanging out at the border, throwing rocks at armed, American border patrol agents!

Yeah, there's an idea!
