#4  more fun facts - T.J. Bonner - BP Union Chief was on John & Ken just now:
the yout had 6 prior arrests for smuggling (at age 15!), was no honors student. He and his group were throwing baseball-sized rocks from 35 ft at the agent. The agent fired and killed the POS in self-defense. Later surveillance video caught Mexican police crossing over to the US side to retrieve the agents cartridge case and planted it on the Mexican side by the boy's body to make it appear the agent shot him IN Mexico. When US authorities arrived to begin their investigation, the Mexican police pointed their arms at them.

#3  Here on the Tucson border, the leftist Arizona Daily Star joins the Mexican press in playing up the recent Border Patrol shooting of a rock throwing "youth"

They can play it up all they want, all day long, if they want, but it doesn't change the facts: the Mexican kid's death was a "Hey, watch this!" moment which was entirely avoidable had the kid made the right decisions.

And thanks again for the compliment.

#1  Badanov: again and as always thx for your fine work. Here on the Tucson border, the leftist Arizona Daily Star joins the Mexican press in playing up the recent Border Patrol shooting of a rock throwing "youth". A good Goebbles playbook idea to change the focus of the true nature of violence in Mexico "Lindo"...
