Drug cartels trying to murder U.S. Border patrol agents? Johnny Sutton (spit) will probably charge the agent.

No doubt the libs will try to prove that it did not happen quite like the agent says.

"Arrest this agent. Off duty, shooting a narco-thug.. Throw the book at him, Johnny."

Despite my efforts to avoid a jaded cynicism toward the border, you stole my line of thought.

When the fire was extinguished, police found bullet holes in the vehicle.

Shooting at suspects that were running away? Uh oh, Sutton won't like the border agent firing at fleeing burglars and armed home invaders, especially if they're here illegally.

It says he had a take home vehicle. That means that anyone would know a border patrol agent lived in that house. It strains credulity to think this wasn’t another deliberate attack on an agent.

Four armed men bursting into the house while everyone was still probably in bed. It’s a miracle that the good guy won out, IMHO. Skill, yes, but good luck or a little help from God as well.

all anyone would have to do is follow him home or take down plate numbers at the border patrol parking lot and run them to get home addresses. this is a new scary chapter in the border war.

I’m not a supporter of killing, as a rule, but things are just out of hand.

It is certainly possible that they targeted him because he was a BP agent, and they may have intended to kill his entire family.

Four against one.

They come up against some resistance and they run like rabbits.

Big bad nasty drug cartel.

If I was their boss man they would regret not staying and fighting (for a little while).

Hopefully the excellent outcome in this case will make it a very SHORT chapter...

That would be a typical M.O. for a Mexican drug gang. We have all seen the recent articles about gang shootings of Mexican reporters for daring to write stories about them.

Apart from the terrible injustice to the agents themselves, it's another reason why the Ramos/Campeon prosecution was a huge mistake. Why should the drug gangs fear American law enforcement when the President himself appears to be on their side?

They call them “intruders” and not “home invaders”. I guess this really isn’t an invasion.

I agree with most here. If our govt couldn’t even defend Compean and Ramos, I’m afraid they’ll hang out this BP agent out to dry.

I also have a bad feeling the illegals are targeting our BP agents as well. Still...magnificent shooting by the BP agent!

That is something that keeps this whole controversy about the border in the spotlight. Why should the drug gangs fear law enforcement when the perception is that our Government will bend over backwards to put our own agents in jail for doing their job? If necessary, our own Government will let a drug dealer commit perjury to convict an agent.
