Dunno. Did this agent tamper with evidence and lie about it?

Would not take that bet. Very bad odds.

Aren’t Border Patrol Agents considered domestic terrorists in Janet Napolitano’s Department Homeland Security Report, which lists the military and all us Conservatives?

They should shoot every one of them that cross the border!

Hang their carcass on the fence as a warning!

This will be interesting to watch. I’m betting they get a lot more scrutiny than if it would have been a police officer-legal resident incident.

It’s probably on a security-cam video. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Settle down. The current system sucks (bad), but that sort of talk is pointless and totally counterproductive.

” but that sort of talk is pointless and totally counterproductive.”

As far as i’m concerned they should be killed on sight.

If the Border Patrol can’t handle it put a bounty on them, $100 alive $500 dead!

That’s reserved for those lawbreaking, border jumping Canadians and right wing extremists like Freepers.

I still say put signs up along the fence stating trespassers will be shot;then DO IT!I think they will get the message they’re not wanted/needed here.

There seems to be a lot missing from the story. So far, we have a Border Patrol Agent pursuing a probable illegal into a store and deciding to use deadly force to stop the illegal from escaping. Was the illegal threatening the agent or other citizens in the store? Seems like there should be some overwhelmingly compelling reason to shoot a suspect in a crowded environment beyond just thwarting an escape.

Have gangs destroyed your neighborhood, schools, courts, jails and the city where you live? I live in Oakland, CA and there are miles of grafitti and thousands of illegals and their subsequent family members on the dole.

Do foreign nationals rape, rob and murder Americans? Of course they do, while the media ignores that fact...Most apathetic, Ayers-Commie schooled American dummies lick their fingers after eating a Domino’s pizza...watching Dancing with the Stars?

We are being overrun by a third-world nation at our expense, at some point, we will fight back, and it will not be pretty.

Illegals need to go, now.

Look at Los(t) Angeles, it is a festering sore.
