Amazing how much pressure we accept from the drug cartels.
WTH? Things like this really suck.
I pray that this gets turned over on appeal.
This makes me physically ill.

ORIGINAL STORY @

AUTHOR: Same lady reporter who told you that BP was giving the Mexicans the locations of the Minutemen!
So the US prosecuting attorney and a Texas jury found these guys guilty? Why would anyone want to jeopardize theirs lives guarding the border when you can get convicted of this mess. It's the same with proscuting our soldiers of rdoing what they were trained to do.
I would imagine that the assistant US attorney is trying to make a name for herself.
WTF?
Sounds like we need the death penalty. For prosecutors.
I did not support the PATCO action but for this, I would support a strike by the Border Agents or mass resignation. WTF side is our government on?
Something tells me the story the jury heard was quite different from what we read in this article.
From just reading the article it sounds like a serious injustice has been done to these two border patrol officers by their own government.
But based just on the evidence provided here it does not seem likely this would have made it to court and even far less likely that a jury would convict them of anything more than failure to report firing their weapons.
It doesn't add up.
It's obviously a miscarriage of justice, or we aren't getting all the facts.
It sounds kind of strange that if he thought his partner had been shot, that he would keep chasing the smuggler that he had been chasing, that was just running away rather than looking for the shooter or aiding his wounded partner. However, there's not enough information for me to doubt that his actions were reasonable in the situation, it just sounds a bit strange.
The article mentions that the fleeing smuggler was not actually armed, but how can that be considered a known fact when he was able to flee the scene?
There's just too many missing pieces to the puzzle and what there is doesn't seem to fit together. It doesn't sound like we're getting the whole story here.
This is what happens when someone puts a 100% effort into trying to keep drugs out of this country. Border Patrol Agent Ramos has been involed in catching over a 100 drug smuglers and has seized thousands of pounds of drugs.This story makes me ill as my son died at 27 from illegal drugs .The proscuter in this case has to be the one of the sickest people in our country. Sounds to me this whole border patrol is a total joke. What can one do as a citizen ??? anything
