absolutely.
i wouldnt go throw rocks at a local police officer, let alone a border guard. its plain fucking stupid, and i would expect nothing less than to get shot at.
in the report, they werent throwing little pebbles, they were throwing good sized stones. it wouldnt take a big one to put a person out of commission.
i see more than enough illegals in my area getting government assistance of some kind. i see plenty of them with forged papers that work just as well as my legit ones.
if a man is throwing a rock at me with the intent to harm me, then yes, if i had the possession of the correct weaponry at the time, i would aim and fire, with no care nor concern for where it hits that person. the more damage the better. its called self preservation.
if it did so happen to kill him, maybe he should have been smart enough to not attempt to harm an armed person.
darwins law at its finest.
just because you choose to make yourself blind to certain situations does not make them non-existent. this is an issue, this is a very serious issue about our country and the security of it remaining to be the thing it was founded to be.
thats just plain retarded.
rock or grenade, does not matter, if it is used with wrong intent, then the person better be prepared to suffer the consequences. also, are you certain that you are taking into account the location of where this happened? this wasnt some inner city local affair, this happened across national borders, it does make it a bit more serious.
