I have had Mexican kids throw rocks at my truck driving along the Border Highway in El Paso.

Never bring a rock to a gunfight.

Huge mistake? Rocks can kill or maim just as easily as a bullet.

A rock thrown at your head is deadly force. If it hits you in the right spot i.e. the temple, you can die.Those Border Patrol agents have every right to defend themselves with the same deadly force if necessary.

Watch and see how this plays in the media. I repeat... huge mistake. This is exactly what they want.
To: SandRat
Major career ender, unfortunately. I am thinking a new cross-border memorial bridge to the one shot, perhaps an adjacent theme park with rides through rapids and diversity educational pavilions.
To: SandRat
Have to use whatever force necessary to save the life of the drowning man.
The agent did the right thing by shooting.

It was wrong to shoot this guy. Should have used artillery.

No. But if I shot you the media probably wouldn't turn you into a martyr either. Just watch how this border guard will be vilified.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
The thing is....rocks, and other missles, can hide the REAL weapons.
If anyone has spent any time in N. Ireland, before the 08/94 "cease fire", they'd know that.
To: Minus_The_Bear
Regardless of how the media plays it, one had already been hit in the head. If our border patrol's life is in danger to we sacrifice their lives for PC?
