So, to sum up: 1. Snagged one dude who went to the ground 2. He aims at the kid 3. Waits, while said kid is obviously on the Mexican side of the border. 4. The guy on the ground all of a sudden grabs his leg and tries to pull him around like he knows what is about to happen 5. Then he starts shooting
Try CNN, they have the same video, but it goes dark in places, which Univision's doesn't, so wtf is CNN trying to do. Also, FOX news's spin on the story is the boy was a well known smuggler which they know from "sources", they also jacked his age up in their story
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/06/10/texas.border.patrol.shooting/index.html?hpt=T2 why the hell do they pull out guns?..stupid idiots
Granted,I didn't watch the vid,simply because you will never catch me watching anything put out by the Clinton News Network.But think about it,law enforcement officials have seconds to react.I was shooting guns long before 14.They have families they'd like to go home to.if the kid actually was a smuggler,then good riddance.if he wasn't,it's unfortunate,but if he was trying to get over here illegally,it's still breaking the law.
Actually no, shooting someone not in your country is against the law, as is a police officer shooting someone who isn't a threat to them. Here's a novel idea, why not try watching the fucking video. I know, if you watch it it will probably destroy your perceptions of the border problem as well as the world, sometimes the truth is hard to handle.
If you find that you can justify gunning down unarmed children for any reason, you might want to reassess your value system, it may need a few tweaks. .
the only reason he was on the mexico side is cuz he was about to get caught,& ran.sorry,I still side with the officer.media(especially cnn) likes to bullshit the bleeding heart types.he fucked up,got shot,one less shitbag in the world that nobody will miss.If I fuck up,& a cop shoots me,my fucking bad.Sorry,I have no sympathy.
oh,& to the original poster,I DID watch the fucking video,& still have no sympathy.Use big letters all you want,you're still a yankee KID,with no clue.
So, if your step-children wonder onto my property to pick blackberries you won't mind if I shoot em as they run away? You know, "one less shitbag" for me to worry about stealin my berries. Forgive me if I'm a bit critical, but I see that you're one of those anti-abortion types; having an abortion, bad, killing children, good. Are you even for real, or just a nightmare I'm having? .
I dunno, I'm kind of in the middle on this, I don't believe the kid deserved to get shot, at least buy a real bullet, but then again, he should have known better, say for instance I put up a sign in my yard that is clear as day that reads "NO TRESPASSING, trespassers will be shot on sight" with a picture of someone getting shot (for those who can't read), and someone decides to step onto my property, I think I have every right to shoot them, even if they are running away, why?, because they were given a warning, people who don't follow the rules, should expect consequences...sure I've broken the law a few times, but I wouldn't sit and whine about it if they came and arrested me right now, because I knew I was breaking the law when I did those things.
You do know that shooting someone for trespassing will land you in jail and the charges will be murder if they die? And, that sign could make it premeditated with the possibility of the death penalty. All the testosterone flowing here is kinda cute, but I doubt that you or longhaircountryboy would have the balls to kill someone for such a trivial transgression. A few years ago I walked into my neighbor's home and found a young man pointing a gun at him and threatening to kill him. I would have been more than justified in pulling the trigger, but I didn't. Instead, I disarmed him and called the Sheriff. The attitude I'm hearing here is quite disturbing and shows a lack of reverence for human life. The morality of America has sunk to an all time low when we applaud the killing of children. .
property or a house?? gezz, kill someone cause they stepped on your grass, thats kinda bit much dont you think. Now they are running away, but cause you got that sign(WHO ALL KNOWS HOW TO READ HIEROGLYPHICS, BTW?) .. not to long ago some crazy man was at the end of my property with a chainsaw trying to cut a tree down.. I was armed but he was a nut, wtf would I need to kill him for?, yeah like hes gonna catch me 1/2 drunk running though timber, with gas tool in his hand, half blinded by the day sun.. haha NOT..
btw, I'm not a male, so no I can't say I do have the balls I have every right to protect my property, I never said I'd kill someone just for stepping onto my property, I'd shoot them...possibly only with like one of those rubber bullets or bean bag guns, also it depends on where you live. when I was younger, we had very horrible neighbors, who would come onto our property with their snowmobiles and dirt bikes, and let their animals attack and kill our animals, and would also shoot at our animals with bb guns, back then the police didn't care, they did nothing about it, it is people like them that make me support such things, plus I don't want people's kids, pets or belongings in MY yard that I paid for., is that such a horrible thing?
actually, you did: You don't have that right in the U.S., and what do you expect is going to happen when you shoot someone, they often die. If they don't die it's aggravated assault and possibly attempted murder. I don't know of any state that allows shooting trespassers. Shooting someone who merely steps onto your property is not protecting it, that's just being downright mean-spirited with no regard for human life. .
You evidently have no training in the use and dangers of firearms. Shooting someone, even in the hand or foot can trigger a heart attack, or hit an artery that causes them to bleed to death. Someone can die from an infected wound. Small caliber bullets have a tendency to bounce around inside the body often damaging several organs. Never count on just wounding someone, when you put a bullet in someone's body, death is always a strong possibility, whether or not you intend it. Why such a harsh stance about someone leaving footprints on your land? .
