Anger high too over so many American teens killed by illegal drunk drivers.

Tell Mexico to take a hike...southward.

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department demanded "an expeditious and transparent investigation of the facts and, if applicable, punishment of the guilty."

Mexico, transparency? Yeah, right.

Sounds like it. She's concerned only with herself.

I wish the BP could use some other method to combat rock throwing although I know it can be deadly.

Won't rubber bullets cause rock throwers to disperse ?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HIT BY A RUBBER ROCK THEY ARE THROWING ROCKS WITH THE INTENTION OF CAUSING AN INJURY OR MAYBE WORSE A DEATH OF A BP AGENT. THEY WERE ASKED NICELY TO STOP THROWING ROCKS, AND THEY KEPT RIGHT ON THROWING AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND THEM BEING A COUPLE OF BILLY BAD @SSES. WHEN THEY START THROWING RUBBER ROCKS, THEN THE BP WILL NOT USE RUBBER BULLETS

I AGREE. AND BTW, HOW DO WE REALLY KNOW FOR SURE THAT HE WAS A 15yr. OLD I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THE WORD OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO BE THE GOSPEL TRUTH AND I ALSO BELIEVE IT WAS THEIR INTENT TO CROSS INTO THE U.S. ILLEGALLY.

Its a stupid thing to throw rocks at a law enforcement person carrying a gun. Rocks can kill. What did they expect to happen?

THE US agents said the boy was 15 .

Yes rocks can be deadly but bullets are absolute if they hit their target.

I fear this will put the BP at greater risks. This will now escalate and instead of throwing rocks they will be shooting bullets.

.

If he was 15 he was a minor. Do we kow where the parents are? Many times a parent or even both come here and leave the child with relatives and when they make enough money they pay smugglers to bring their children here. That is when they consider it okay to separate the family.
