Agree. The nation hammered Bush because he didn't free Ramon and Campeon (sp?). If Obama even entertains the notion of turning the agent over to mexican authorities there will be riots in Washington. Bet on it.

So from what you saw and the video you're good with the BP shooting the kid? You don't need any other evidence?
I haven't watched the video. I'm basing my view on the initial report. If that is inaccurate, then I ask that my view be considered in the point of view of that situation happening in that manner.
Of course, none of this would happen if people didn't try to ILLEGALLY ENTER ANOTHER COUNTRY.
These problems would be lesser if the USA had a DMZ and a shoot-on-sight policy. Should we go that far? It's pretty simple: don't try to invade another country and you won't get shot.

The video is edited.......and frankly, if you throw rocks at a law enforcement officer you get what you deserve.
Rocks thrown can kill you......

Borders are also economic and political .. I wonder if the US Govt has ever supported illegal activities in these southern countries that would lessen the peoples power to vote for unions and democracy and widespread capitalism

I bet 90% of the people in here who scream about gun rights are just as ugly as you.
If I have a gun and you are throwing a rock at me and I am so scared that I MUST KILL you.. then really.. how am I even alive -- that is an incredible amount of shits your pants FEAR
Guns are not only for murdering people... you can maim them.. .and if you are so scared and fearful that your only thought about gun use is to kill then you should not have one
All firearm classes teach you to shoot to kill, center mass of the body. You never shoot to wound. That's what the gun is for, to kill a deadly threat or a severe personal injury threat...like say a rock to the head.
If you actually did shoot to wound you would probably be charged with a crime because the prosecutor could argue you weren't in fear for your life if you were only shooting to wound.

Then there needs to be a change in gun laws. If professionals have no more restraint than that then something needs changed

It might have been but even so I don't think it unedited would match the BP's story
Yeah just ask Goliath
Really? Guns can be used to maim people?? No shit! You honestly think the majority of people who use guns, including trained soldiers, can actually shoot to maim in a stressful situation? You've actually fired a gun before right?

I just stepped away and thought more.. I understand guns cannot be used for non-lethal force.. so why did he choose it. Was it his only option?
If it were a uniformed officer who shot and killed an American who was throwing a rock at him would this "good for him" "he deserved to die" etc.. would it be any different?

are you serious
you cant honestly think that shoot to wound is a good policy
its INMPOSSIBLE
there are major arteries and orgrans all over the place, too many to try and miss without further subjecting the officer to whatever behavior is trying to be eliminated.
how many different weapons do you want them to carry? a taser, a 40mm beanbag launcher, a gun, a baton, some mace
how about the kitchen sink too
while I dont think the kid desserved to die for what he was doing, you are being yelled at by LEO with a gun, and you continue to attempt to assault him......you are likely to end up shot.
they teach officers to shoot threatening people when they breach 20ft because of how dangerous it gets from there, this is pretty in line with those orders
If my brother decided it was a good idea to throw rocks at uniformed police officers and he got shot and killed. His fault. Only a fucking moron would throw a rock at someone with a gun.
nope, I would think they were being stupid assholes
just like when that prick got caned back in the 90's in the philipines or whatever

Does anyone have an answer for this? I thought the killing was done on American soil? Was it not?
When they retrieved his corpse wasn't it on Mexican soil? Could he of been shot then fled back across and died? I'm not 100% on that matter, but in all honesty I don't give a fuck what side of the boarder he was on.

Well it makes ALL the difference. If the BP shot and killed somebody who was on mexican soil then it is under mexican jurisdiction.

Would it be a wise political move for Obama's administration to sent the BP agent to Mexico for trial?
Like I said, I don't care what side of the boarder the kid was on he was throwing rocks, you know assault with a deadly weapon, and he got shot for it. His own fucking fault. Fuck him, fuck Mexico for wanting to try our guy, and fuck everyone who has a problem with what the BP did. He was doing his job and got attacked by a group throwing rocks at him. It's not his job to back off the boarder and let these douche bags through, his job is to protect our boarder.
