Spear Thrown at Border Patrol Agents

An attempted assault with a rock and a homemade spear was made against Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector who were trying to apprehend 15 illegal immigrants.

Around 5 a.m. today, agents in the Boat Patrol Unit were assisting agents along the Colorado River in capturing the group, and as they closed in, the group scattered and fled into surrounding brush. One man, suspected to be the group's smuggler, entered the shallow water along the river bank and allegedly threw a rock at agents in the boat, but missed them, according to a Border Patrol press release.

When the boat moved closer to the apparent smuggler, he allegedly threw a homemade spear at one of the agents, which also missed, the release said.

An agent used a substance similar to pepper spray to stop the spear-thrower, who crawled out of the water and into nearby brush before agents could catch him. He and two others fled to Mexico and five others fled shortly after them. Agents were able to apprehend eight people during their search for the remaining members of the group, the release said.

The eight illegal immigrants were transported to the Yuma Border Patrol station for processing.

This would have been the time for agents to start throwing lead!!

Unbelieveable. And you know who in the White House could and will CARE LESS about this. He will say, "It's because we didn't get a coprehensive immigration bill".

Apparently, at least it certainly appears to be that as long as it's directed at the border patrol, it's A-OKAY with him.

Will we tell Mexico to "find the spear thrower" because it was attempted murder of a border patrol agent? I highly doubt it.

Where's our consulate in Mexico City petitioning the Mexican government to hand over for prosecution this human smugglar and attempted murderer?

But that's not the way it works!!!! It's only when OUR border agents try to defend themselves that Mexico gets involved. There's a name for people like that................but I don't want to get thrown out of alipac!!!!

Yea, and that's when George Bush gets involved too.

Of course this will be blamed on our lack of "comprehensive" immigration reform.Aren't these the same hard-working,family values people we hear about all the time?
