When rocks were pelting the Border Patrol agent not pebbles mind you but ROCKS. What was he supposed to do?
1. Leave his post and run?
2. Tell them to stop it?
3. Take the rocks on the chin?
4. Or protect his self?
In the case of one of the perpetrators being 14 years of age and having a known history of trouble at the border. He took a bullet and died.
That sucks, it’s a horrifying thing that it happened.
It didn’t have to happen. His parents should have kept him from causing trouble.
His countrymen and women could rise up against their corrupt government and insist that society be transformed into something that more resembles the neighbors to the north.
Well hopefully the USA gets a grip and Mr. Obamadinajihad doesn’t keep creating the United Socialist Republic of North America, as he wants to do.
Are the Mexican people so cowardly as not to create civil unrest or a revolution if needed to fix their own country? Instead they take the lazy way out and sneak across an international border.
Is sending aid to them going to fix anything or line the pockets of yet more corrupt officials?
I think the best way to help them is to TAKE 10 MILES of their territory and turn it into a DMZ as we have for the Korean Peninsula.
What about the border towns? Well sorry for your luck but no one can go they’re without the fear of the Drug Cartels.
Well I say we can put them out of business too. Prohibition didn’t work early in the last century and obviously has not worked with the so-called war on drugs.
So legalize the stuff and keep the product cleaner and collect income tax from the producers and from the sales of products. If you remove the taboos associated with things like drugs then I believe fewer children will try them.
Never mind the trillions going to fight crime; incarcerate users and clog up the courts with what is a Societal Issue that can be addressed through education. Lets face it if you can buy it at the store you’ll greatly reduce the street crime associated with addiction. And have more fund’s to treat addicts.
It costs much less too.
I have lived in Tucson for 30 years and found the Mexican people to be hard working and eager to provide for their beloved families. They should be able to do that legally in their own country and forcing the Mexican government to shape up or be ousted by vote or revolution is the only way change will happen.
Maybe Obamadinajihad can go bring change to Mexico and leave us alone.
