Mexican teenager killed by US border official

[Mistress Stowastiq]

The boy was shot once near the eye, Sandoval said. Authorities were still investigating the bullet's trajectory, he said.

Seems to me that if the officer was a half decent marksman, he could have attempted to shoot to injure instead of kill. I doubt a person (not on pcp) is going to keep chucking rocks if they have a gunshot wound. Perhaps it is situational though in a "had to be there to understand it" kind of way.

This is the bridge IIRC that this happened near.


If they were on the otherside of this bridge throwing rocks I don't know how you can fear for your life.

It was unclear whether Hernandez was on the U.S. or Mexican side of the border when he was shot, though his body was found on the Mexican side, the FBI said.

wat

Also I wonder if the FBI will talk to the kids that were actually there.

I say go to all these immigration protests and check IDs on everybody and arrest those who are illegal and ship tem back immediately.

US Constitutional rights apply to citizans only, so by law, they can be arrest without warrent, homes raided without warrent, have no right to peaceful assembly. I have no issues with others coming over legally and trying to work with the system to become a citizans. However when you avoid he system and become a burden on the taxpayers, GTFO

Forgive me if I am wrong because I don't remember the source but I read somewhere that illegal immigrants in California pay just as much taxes as citizens and take less out of the system.

That would make them not really a burden on tax payers at all.

I have a better comment.

Why did he even bring up illegal immigration at all?

Because Mexican of any kind = Illegal immigrant.


Mexicans in Mexico are Illegals.

Thank you. I was sure I heard that somewhere. So funny that people forget about this and claim them to be a "burden".

citizans only

For real.

I knew a guy in the Israeli army (over a decade ago, he is a teacher now), and he shot a young teenage kid once for throwing rocks, that was of course, after one time it was a grenade.

I don't see why this is a big deal. The kids were already in violation of the law if they're on US soil. Furthermore, police have every right to shoot someone if they're posing a threat to them. There's ways of posing a threat to a cop's health/life other than brandishing a firearm. Among those ways, throwing large rocks is one of them.

Don't like getting shot by American police on American soil? Don't come to America to throw rocks at American police.

It's like everyone wants a spin on the 'I didn't read the OP or any part of the thread here's my troll post' merry-go-round in here.

The kid was in Mexico when he was shot, since you're lazier than the laziest sleepy mexican.

He's cute, can we keep him?

[Sepukku]

I tend to avoid reading Kuya's garbage since it all sumarily boils down to how wealthy White Americans have wronged every human being ever born and preemptively wronged all fetuses to be born within the next 9 months. He's the whistleblower on everything racial. I could say "black people run fast" and he'd claim I'm racist and setting the African American community back.

Not on American soil? Perhaps he shouldn't be throwing rocks nonetheless. I'm sure Mexico has laws regarding self-defense. From a common sense standpoint, no one likes rocks thrown at them. Would you do something if I started hurling rocks at you?
