The Border Patrol agent needs to go back to the shooting range and practice on hitting a target.

Border Patrol should begin to carry wrist rocket slingshots ,to be able to give return fire in like kind

"We've had rock assaults where there was certainly sufficient velocity to break a windshield," Boatright said.
"Nobody did get hurt today but rocks can cause severe damage to someone's skull or face."
Boatright, is an idiot.

Time to call a special meeting of the Ernest T. Bass Rock Chuckin Society to counter this attack on the CONUS !
Now where did I leave the plans for that trebuchet ??!?!

A U.S. Border Patrol agent in El Paso shot at a group of people hurling rocks at him from across the Rio Grande on Thursday. No one was injured. Once again, GWB's fault.
The agent should have been shooting back with Ma Duce.
You bring rocks, we choose to use the M2.
Rock throwing stops. They may be illegal but I'm betting they ain't stupid.

One thing I recall from reading the Iliad, is the ancient Greeks considered rocks to be perfectly good weapons, in fact Homer seemed to consider them particularly effective.

9/10 Muslims on a budget prefer rocks.

Yes the price is certainly right.
Of course I would prefer a gun but rocks can still be deadly.

What was it that David slew Goliath with?
A rock can be a deadly weapon, especially if it's propelled by the old style sling shot.
Deadly force should be met with deadly force IMO.

"Agents in some parts of the border are even starting to see "flaming rocks" - rocks wrapped in cloth, soaked in alcohol and lit on fire. Good reason to shoot!

Homer didn't have a M16Well he was blind so I guess he would have needed a phaser set to wide angle.

Homer needs gun training.
He should have popped a couple of them at least.
