"Am I alone in this bothering me?"
No, the fact that these guys attempted to cover up evidence bothers me also. This is not a cut and dried case on either side. The drug smuggler got shot attempting to bring his poison into the U.S. and in my opinion got what he deserved. The Border Patrol Agents proved they were not rocket scientists by romoving evidence from the scene, so they got what they deserved, no one is above the law, and these guys know that.
The National Gaurd is running away from the armed criminals, because they can't defend themselves.
The Mexican government is furnishing Spanish text books to border state American students which include references to taking the territory back to Mexican hands (Texas, NMex, Ariz, and, of course Kalifornistan)
This Country has gone nuts, and as a Texan and long time supporter of the POTUS, I cannot forgive him for not digging in his heels.
Of course the downside is that the legal and illegals vote rat, taking the Country into the abyss of socialism or worse with Osama Obama or the sheSatan.
Bull!! Illegal aliens are above the law. Why isn't the George Bush administration enforcing our immigration laws? It could enforce existing employer sanction laws and identity theft laws and millions of illegals would self deport
