Carlos Lamadrid's Family Seeks Justice After Border Patrol Shooting

Douglas, Arizona : News : LaMadrid shot three times in the back : Douglas Dispatch, Arizona

The rw haters will love this story but, really, since when is either marijuana or a US citizen running away into Mexico a crime punishable by death? And why was he shot three times in the back and once in the shoulder? One shot would have stopped him.

Okay rw's, start making your usual lame excuses.

If I had 48.2 pounds of marijuana in my truck. Then I ran from the cops, while my buddy through rocks at the cop while I was trying to flee across the border. I would kind of expect to get shot.

If you traffic drugs, and run from police or border agents. Then your buddies throw fucking rocks at the cops, you are setting yourself up for failure. It is sad this happened, I am not at all saying this is a good thing. It is not a surprising outcome to me though. If you had a firearm and some body was throwing baseball size rocks at you are you gonna just attempt to reason with them? I know, it wasn't the individual shot who was throwing rocks. I guess he was the only one he could see and he engaged.

Looks like someone has some common sense, if you pick up a rock and throw it at someone with the intent to harm that rock turns into a weapon and you don't shoot to wound you shoot to kill, Period!
