Border Patrol: Agent fires shots after rock attack Associated Press Posted on July 7, 2012 at 2:02 PM
Updated today at 3:02 PM BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol says an agent fired shots after being pelted by rocks thrown along the Rio Grande.
Border Patrol spokesman Henry Mendiola said Saturday he did not know if anyone was struck by the gunfire. He said the shooting about 9 a.m. in Brownsville happened when an agent "feared for his life" and fired his weapon.
Mendiola says the investigation is still very preliminary and he could not release any more details.
In 2010, a Border Patrol agent in El Paso shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy across the Rio Grande. Investigators say the agent fired after being attacked by people throwing rocks.

The moral of this story is... Don't bring rocks to a gun fight.

Perhaps the illegals would have had a gun..were the obamabot's "Fast & Furious" still in operation. Then, perhaps we might have another Brian Terry case on our hands...

Rock throwing has been a scripted annoyance for Border Patrol Officers who are not permitted to return force against force.

If goliath were alive today I bet he would tell us what a well aimed rock can do. Bp agents should be allowed to shoot to kill when being attacked in this manner. POWDERMAN.

Agreed; throwing rocks is not something that is done by accident !

Maybe they should issue slingshots to BP agents.
Then they could fling rocks back at the original flingers.

If somebody starts throwing rocks at you, shooting back makes a lot of sense. What was he supposed to do?

I'm curious Muznut, how did you come to that conclusion? "Operation Wide Receiver" was indeed a Bush era operation. but it was terminated when it was found to be ineffective. It was also done with the cooperation of the Mexican Government, unlike F&F which was done withouot Mexico's involvement. F&F was dreamed up by the present bunch and was/is not connected in any way to the previous administration.

I do see this type of misinformation promoted a lot though, so I thought I'd ask.

Correction Muznut;
The Bush administration started "wide receiver" under the DEC, realized it was a mistake, cancelled it and went on. When the Chicago mob took over washington D.C. They started a new program aimed at destroying the 2nd amendment.
What's the diference..the "Bushies" recognized their mistake and stopped the program BEFORE any LEOs got klilled.

Don't call me a liberal, I just cant stand the extreme right golden turds screwing up the republican party.

Well let me help you overcome your misconception, one frequently promoted by the leftists disinformation program based on the tired old "it's Bush's fault" premise.

Here's a link that will get you to the time/date factors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wide_Receiver

WR started in 2006 and ended in 2007. F&F started in 2009 and continued until 2011. Sooo.....you see, they were separated by about two years AND two administrations.
