U.S. officials claim the guard was defending himself and his colleagues when he gunned down the teenager on the other side of the border as he and other officers were pelted with stones.

This kid was the Mexican side of the border! And he was throwing rocks! Someone please tell me how this justifies gunning him down?


If the Mexican government were anything like our own, they would be launching military reprisals against us for the shit that we've been doing over the past few decades.
