Just for the record that is not a catapult it is a trebuchet.

But when does the press ever get anything right?

If they are using catapults then can we use the large animal skin bags of burning oil ala Gladiator to burn the crap outta them? I'm just sayin’

We could put the Pumpkin Chunkers on the border to counter them.

Correct. Trebuchet. Media are idiots.

But I have to ask... WTF? Over?

$20US worth of PVC and an air compressor, and they can get more distance, faster reload, and overall higher throughput. Not to mention quicker to build.

Given the state of the economy, I am available for technical consultation of a purely theoretical basis.

We could use the Punkin’ Chunkin’ machines to send back the deportees to Mexico:

Jose: “But you said the US would fly me back to Mexico!”

INS Agent: “We just didn’t tell you HOW you would fly back!”

I bet they got the idea from this VW commercial.

Or they could have just got a ladder and passed them over the fence...but that wouldn’t make a good vid.

They couldn’t even make it a counterweight trebuchet. Lazy drug dealers.

True that. I would dearly love to have a trebuchet of my very own. Somewhat larger than in the vid.

But the threat of lawsuits and restraining orders when I casually mentioned that I wanted to build one keeps me from flinging ceramic bathroom fixtures into Johnson County. From Tarrant County.

They were initially using it to fling illegal immigrants over the line...

...but they had to come up with a different plan when the bodies started piling up on the US side.

By the weirdest coincidence some strange woman gave me her card with the same phrase on it the last time I was in Vegas...

"Are they mexican army?"

If you check out the last few seconds, it looks like USA uniforms. Note the lights on the fence. This might not be the Meskin border. Also note that if this was from the Border Patrol vid, it seems to be taken from 'there' side.
