Agent's shot kills rock thrower at border fence
U.S. officers trying to arrest border crosser assaulted by rocks, spiked piece of wood

June 22, 2011

San Ysidro, Ca. – An illegal alien was shot and killed trying to enter the United States of America illegally by the U. S. Border Patrol. The BP agents said three men were coming through a hole in the border fence around 7:30 p.m Tuesday.

Two of the illegal aliens ran back into Mexico through the hole in the fence. The agents were able to restrain the third man who violently resisted arrest.

“As the struggle ensued one of the other men leaned over the top of the fence and hurled large rocks and a piece of wood with nails sticking out of it at the agents, San Diego Police homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert said.

The piece of wood hit one of them in the head, the lieutenant said.
As the man began to throw another rock the other agent opened fire, hitting him once. He fell back into Mexico and died at the scene, Herbert said.”

A Border Patrol report is expected to be released today.

Thats what happens when you endanger the lives of law enforcement officers like the border patrol, you get shot at and possibly die.

Now imagine this, if they didn't try to violate our immigration laws in the first place this guy would have never got shot .

You are exactly right...if and when law enforcemnt investigate and a court confirms your contention...

Well yeah, of corse he should have to go through a process to verify he was indeed threatened. If he wasn't then its not self-defense and not acceptable anymore.

They call them 'rocks'......but in reality they are more like boulders!

Halt! Who goes there? Identify yourself!

I figure the standard warning should be 3 shots in the chest.

I'm just glad im not border patrol.

throwing rocks or crossing a border should never be a capital crime.

The moral of the story is NEVER throw rocks or any object at anybody with a gun and especially at somebody with authority.

No, the moral of the story is don't enter our country illegally.

 

[LoVE]

hawk and angel.... you are both right.. don't enter the country illegally and don't throw rocks at someone with a gun...

Sounds like self defense to me.

The Border Patrol needs a metal.

Shooting of a illegal alien is a rare occurance...of the proported 500K aliens that cross yearly, almost none are shot.

The occurance is so rare, that it made it as a topic on this forum.

so you missed the Mexican teen shot back in the spring, or the goat herder teen that was shot by Marines?
Rare?
Just like it's rare to kill someone with a rock, or a spiked piece of wood?

To be clear, the "goat herder" was an American citizen shot on the US side.

I didint miss the shooting of the Mexican teen accused of throwing rocks...I didnt list the occurance.

Any way that you look at it, our Border Patrol agents have to work with one hand tied behind their back......why?....cause it's the PC thing to do. After all, we have to 'protect' Mexico the orphan child of the USA.

All these border incidents are very sad when viewed from the perspective of mexican nationalism:

Spanish-speaking mexicans being murdered by english-speaking mexicans hired by a nation-state to protect... guess what??... the land taken from Mexico by brute force.

Get over it Jose - or go beat the hell out of the president of Mexico....after you dig him up.... It's just too bad that the USA did not take Baja California also....what a paradise that would be now!! 'The man with the most toys wins'. The USA had the cannons! NO nation can be taken over without BRUTE force. I guess if Mexico had the 'toys' to take over this nation, they would do it with water balloons???? Helloooooooooooooo!
