Sullivan, who was on leave from Afghanistan, stepped in when the argument escalated and Jurado, 19, allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband, firing three shots -- two of which hit the soldier.

Just to throw a wrench into the dialogue...why is it that it is predominantly young, minority men who commit these types of senseless acts? I mean, women can be violent too, but the majority of these types of incidents involve men. Just sayin’...

Machismo.
Break his neck at the 5th Vertabrae, see how he likes being crippled.
“How’s that working out?”
Well, for purposes of idiot control, very well. They’re subtracting themselves and their DNA from the population quite nicely, although not at the desired rate.
Is machismo the Spanish word for stupidity?
What is needed is a few ‘hunter-killer’ cops put on his trail.
Legal or not, many (but not all by any means) Mexicans simply don't share our values or our cultural norms. Documentation alone doesn't make one a real American.
