Well, it finally happened

What I have been saying,* literally*, the entire time I have been cognisant.

I like this.

If some kid gets shot in the face, he won’t get away with anything ever again.

Um, What? :confused: If you’re protecting the machine, then protect the fucking machine. if not, get the snickers bar and smile dammit! If someone’s trying to hurt you to get at that twinkie, BODY DAT FOOL!!!

-Starhammer-

don’t like the heat stay out of the kitchen?

Mexicans should know better. They are more than well aware that it’s illegal to cross the border like that and after already running a high risk of getting caught, they decided it was a bright idea to throw rocks (attack).

I am a bit conflicted about the whole illegal immigration debate because had a friend of mine not been here illegally, he would have died as a child (literally). He was brought to the US with a visa for medical reasons and stayed after it expired (for further health reasons). He was raised by friends of his parents, eventually got a greencard the proper way and just recently became a citizen.

Having said that, I believe the border should be strongly protected simply because of the recently gang violence happening in Mexico, which has been spreading throughout our southern states it seems.

Well, I wonder who’s fault it is…the retarded kid throwing rocks at an ARMED guard, or the guard doing his job…seriously, should’ve known better than to try and hop the fence illegally amigos.

This is false; mexican border patrol is not that grimey. They will not shot you on the spot but they will be expecting a bribe. If you can’t pay the bribe then you’re chances of being deported increased that much. Certain spots are more dangerous than other just like in the U.S.

“If you are too far, they stick you in one of their shit hole immigration holding facilities where you will wait for a prison bus.”

A good chunk of deportees are sent back to Guatemala by bus, regardless of whether or not they live there.

“Having said that, I believe the border should be strongly protected simply because of the recently gang violence happening in Mexico, which has been spreading throughout our southern states it seems.” This is misinformed at best, incredibly faulty at worse. None of drug violence spills over to the U.S. unless its something incredibly specific and even then it is amazingly rare. I’ve been in El Paso (you know, that city directly across from Ciudad Juarez) for 9 years now. Only twice have there been murder related to the drug cartel in Juarez and that happened after the current nonsense. The problem with organized crime organizations like La M in cali or MS13 (a problem that the U.S. created by deporting gang members back to their country) has little to do with illegal immigration as most of the drugs are brought in through legal means.

The kid was being retarded, border patrol cycles around are downtown often and they do so peacefully, downtown is very safe at all hours of night (because I have been in that downtown at all periods of the day).

it’s good to see you don’t know what “attack” means, moron.

Unless this kid is hurling 100mph speed balls at this cop’s head, Shooting him seems a bit extreme.

out of all the topics sprung up from illegal immigration this one has the most epic comments.

Now we know

Rocks =/= Hadoukens

Rocks<Bullets

Must have yelled, “JA JA!”

he killed the mexican cody
they will throw knives next, but the patrol doesnt have to worry, as the mexicans only have one

I bet those kids must of mained Cody chucking them small boulders…HAH HA! Bingo!

You guys got to remember that these kids are probably taught the border patrol people are the enemies. They probably have a lot horrific stories from family, friends, & the media that’s spread throughout Mexico. Here’s a pic of the kid & location where he was shot

Here’s the guy who ordered the fire…

Not true. Border patrol has saved a huge amount of lives and the large majority of the Juarez population are pretty respectful of American laws. Shitty drivers but not worse than New Mexico or Florida.

This man’s sarcasm detector is in vast need of repairs. Where’d you get it Mexico or something?

Actually even a small pebble thrown at a slow speed can hit someone in the eye and cause serious damage. I went to this Russian community once where the kids were left there over the summer with their grand parents, meaning no one was watching the kids. The little kids would run around the place and throw rocks at each other for fun and a couple ended up in the hospital. If the kid would have stopped throwing rocks at the border patrol then I’m sure he wouldn’t have got shot.

Shit just got real, kids father wants revenge!

Well, considering I live in El Paso, this happened about 6 blocks away from where I live, in an area where I used to teach citizenship classes, am studying anthropology in a department that has 3 professors who actively work with immigrant issues, I am significantly better equipped for that discussion than most of GD. People assume a bunch of random whack shit about what immigrants do and don’t do; his comment being one of them. The amount of stupid in this forum alone involving the immigration debate reflective of the general misconceptions that the populace at large has. I have no way of judging sarcasm when it comes to this topic, so if I hear a nebulous comment, I’m gonna straighten it out to clear and/or fix what was said.

Well i ate a 99cent bean burrito yesterday at Taco Bell & i have a mexican friend…So i think im significantly better equipped for this discussion than most of GD including you amigo!
