Jose Garza from the Border patrol Public Information Office confirmed that such an incident did, in fact, take place, but the situation was still under investigation and would offer no further statement.

I haven't found any other articles about this, but since the Mexican army firing into this country has happened before, I'll keep looking.

This is what we should be doing to the Mexicans crossing the border into our country.

"Jose Garza from the Border patrol Public Information Office confirmed that such an incident did, in fact, take place, but the situation was still under investigation and would offer no further statement."

I wonder if there is the equivalent of a police report we could look at?

If I read this correctly it sounds like the mexican military pursued the film crew inside our border.

Looking further, there are a couple of things that are funny about this report. For one thing, the article states the attack as a fact. normally, journalists would say things like "alleged."


For another thing
"Carmen Mercer, Vice President of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC), stated that this incident was, in no way, connected with the current operations of MCDC. The brothers were escorting the film crew as guides, not as volunteers for MCDC. The film crew could not be reached for comment."

why are the Minute men distancing themselves.

And finally, this is a film crew that came under fire but didn't film?

Yeah, real good idea to stand and film people who are firing at you.

Why would there be a cattle guard installed along the border fence? That makes no sense.

The driver and his brother opened cover fire for self defense with rifles of their own.

As it should be.

After clearing the group, the Border patrol had thanked the group four different times for their cooperation and released them with their weapons.

Again, as it should be.

Does anyone know what kind of reputation The Tombstone Tumbleweed has? I thought this story sounded plausible enough.

Don't these people know we are at war with Mexico?

I thought the only ones who didn't know were in the White House.

A cattle guard prevents cattle from crossing. It seems there should be a fence.

And if any other country right now would pursue and fire at our civilians, I am wiling to bet we would actually do something. Im gonna bet we don't do anything for this.

I believe the Tombstone Tumbleweed is owned by Chris Simcox. The word is that they have this incident on film. Hope so! Of course the MSM doesn't care.

Nice to see that the Mexican government is finally starting to take this border thing seriously.
