At Border, Fatal Shot Still Rings
The U.S. says its agent responded to an assault. But in Mexico, outrage over a father's death leads to demands for an inquiry and justice.

"We've been warning people," said one longtime border agent who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Now it happens, and everybody's shocked."

Omaha Nebraska media by its inactions will allow the USA to be invaded, Americans killed, raped, harmed in so many ways.
Freedom of the press is wonderful for those that can afford the presses.
Broadcasting takes lots of money.
Out elites are throwing us to the wolves.
How can we reach the masses?
I have spoken aloud to spread the word of the dangers facing us. Strangers, co-workers, at college, anywhere I could, for years I did what I could.
But, one person's voice does not convey NEARLY as much impact when the warning comes from a media source.
Alas....... we are likely doomed.
Bow down to our newest overlords... from below the border.
Meanwhile, as our society crumbles the ruling elite class of the USA and Mexico grow evermore powerful and wealthier.

Martinez, many residents say, was a smuggler, but he didn't deserve to be killed for helping people reunite families or realize their dreams.
I mean, you can't get much lower than this. They even ADMIT the man was a smuggler but they think that we should just sit back and watch him break our laws over and over and over??? And, when our Border Patrol faces threats to their safety day after day, what do they EXPECT them to do?? If Mexico would do what they SHOULD be doing and working WITH US rather than AGAINST US, this problem would never have arisen. These people just BEAT ALL.

We demand an end to the genocide of the Latino community by the … continued militarization of the border," said Enrique Morones, president of the Border Angels, a San Diego-based immigrant rights group.
Since the shooting, Mexican law enforcement agencies have stepped up patrols to discourage crossings and have agreed to erect signs warning people that assaulting U.S. agents is against the law.
The man appeared to throw a rock, prompting the agent, whose name has not been released, to fire a single shot, police say. Because the wounded man fled back to Mexico, U.S. authorities say they haven't been able to confirm his identity.
Mexican officials said Martinez was taken to a Tijuana hospital and died the next day. He was shot in the back from about 16 feet away, according to the Mexicans' preliminary investigation.
Mexican media have portrayed Martinez as a hard-working father of two who had crossed into the U.S. in search of work.
But Border Patrol officials said Martinez was a smuggler who had been arrested 11 times on suspicion of guiding migrants across the border.
For residents here, the rusty fence is an ugly, offensive and unnecessary barrier to California, where many people work or have family.
Martinez, many residents say, was a smuggler, but he didn't deserve to be killed for helping people reunite families or realize their dreams.
"It was a rock against a bullet," said Ignacio Montano, 36, a Colonia Libertad resident, who called the agent's actions excessive.
When agents erect cameras, smugglers shoot them down. When agents use pepper ball launchers, gang members fire back with ball-bearing-loaded slingshots. Gang members wear bandannas and dress in layers of clothing, providing extra padding that agents say make the pepper balls ineffective.
When Martinez picked up the rock, agents say, he became a deadly threat. And with assaults against agents reaching record levels, the agent's response was not a surprise.

If your PRESIDUNCE would put the military on the border, I would hazard a guess that there would be no more ROCK THROWING. The border patrol agent MIGHT have thought it was an IED.
