Graphic Images Justify Border Patrol's Use of Deadly Force Against Rock Attacks
Breitbart ^ | 2 Apr 2014 | Brandon Darby

Posted on 04/02/2014 8:15:48 AM PDT by 12th_Monkey

Breitbart Texas has reported extensively on the left-of-center campaign to restrict the ability of Border Patrol agents to defend themselves and on the false narratives such open-borders advocates use in their political and media attacks against the men and women of the Border Patrol.

The reality being far from the false narrative of "kids throwing pebbles," the life-threatening rock attacks against Border Patrol agents often occur in remote areas when a solitary Border Patrol agent may be up to a 90-minute drive from their nearest backup. The solitary Border Patrol agent's radio often does not work due to insufficient communications infrastructure along the U.S./Mexico border--leaving the agent alone and unable to call for help. The attacks often come from illegal immigrants trafficking drugs or human beings, or from illegal immigrants trying to divert the attention and resources of the Border Patrol in an effort to assist drug and human traffickers.

The below images were provided to Breitbart Texas from Homeland Security Today. The images show injuries to Border Patrol agents, damage to Border Patrol vehicles, and some of the large rocks used in such attacks. They graphically reveal the reality of such rock attacks and the risks such attacks pose to the very lives of U.S. Border Patrol agents.

I guess the liberals don’t know about stoning, since the Bible burns them if they pick it up.

Goliath was killed by a mere rock thrower.

The standard Mideastern sling, like the one David used to kill Goliath, is altogether about 6 feet long with a rock pouch in the center. The two lines are folded back with the projectile in the center pouch. The thrower then spins the rock in the sling over his head, developing a velocity of about 100 m.p.h. Then he releases one of the two lines, sending the projectile toward its target at lethal velocity. Just about all ancient armies had whole units of swingers, who were very effective special troops. No way rock throwing isn’t lethal.
