Video Shocker: U.S. Border Patrol Agents Attacked

Video Shocker: U.S. Border Patrol Agents Attacked


- 5 min

It's interesting that Sean Hannity's report keeps referring to Mexicans who swim across the Rio Grande to avoid detection by the Border Patrol as "immigrants." I think I heard the term "immigrants" over a dozen times as the video showed illegals floating in the river or being arrested by law enforcement officers. Shame on the mainstream media for obfuscating the difference between immigrants and illegal entrants and enemy combatants -- and then showing Border Patrol officers in handcuffs so as to suggest that they are criminals. Even our Mexican puppet government considers the testimony of illegal entrants to be more trustworthy than that of Border Patrol officers, interestingly. Is there some kind of prejudice there?

One final comment, it's amusing that Fox News warns the viewer that the images are "graphic." Are there images that aren't graphic?

I was incredulous - "Oh my God, you shot him over a rock?!" until I saw the pictures of what those rocks could do. Other people must have better strength/aim than I do, as I'm sure if I threw one heavy enough to do damage it would most likely land on my foot.

Still, I'd think shooting the guy in the arm or something would've been sufficient, I don't see why they needed to kill the guy. Can't you incapacitate someone without killing them?

If he takes time to take careful aim to shoot the guy in the arm he may be wearing that rock in his head. When your life is at risk you shoot. That shoot em in the arm or shoot the gun out of their hand is only in movies.
