It's a terrible waste of life, but without knowing all the facts I wouldn't completely disagree with the officer's actions.
It may sound bad, a 15 year old boy being killed because he threw some rocks, but consider the situation the officer was in, and ask yourself, what would you have done?

I live in Texas just to be clear.
Why would an honest person owe the mafia money?

They wouldn't. Doesn't mean that we should be allowing them into our country to kill the children of stupid people who owe them money.

don't know if you missed what I posted a bit on up but the mexican mafia was made in America. They would exist in the US even if the border was seal tight.

So that means what really? I guess either you got tired of Mexico or they got tired of you...but either way you moved on....to where? Did you go back home? Or move on to the next Country you could sneak in to?
I always like people who bite the hands of those that supply them with an opportunity. Obviously your own country could not or did not. Perhaps you are a criminally insane killer running from the law of your country...how do I know....but I wish you well and if you sneak on to my land and throw rocks at me or my family, I can assure you there will be some interesting fireworks for you to talk and write about.
But this thread is NOT about you or me...it's about a Federal Border Agent who was doing his job and protecting his country's border....as directed. Short of that...as I said very early on, I am sorry the kid got killed...I am sorry any young person dies before they fully experience life.
Here in America you are still entitled to your opinion, no matter how much we may disagree....and I respect that. Pax Vobiscum!!!

I am sure they would. But they would be cut off from their sources of revenue, unless they set up grow operations stateside.
We could remove their power by legalizing pot and decriminlizing other drugs. But that would take money away from the CIA, so that obviously cannot be done.

I like to share things, even my country.
I know it makes people angry, but it is just the way I am. I really ment we need symbolic bridges, a way to unite, not divide.

Well it isn't about you or me but you did put out the challange to sneak into mexico to see what happens. I only replied that I had actually done that.
Actually it was because of a girlfriend. Things didn't work out so I left. I don't have to sneak into your land I was actually raised in the US. I was in the US legally. Paid taxes, followed the law. Never threw a stone at anybody let alone a law enforcement officer. I have never bitten the hand of anyone offering me an opportunity.
I know that bad things can happen to people trecking through Mexico on their way to the US but I also know that they have no real border patrol (which was where this started) and that the gangs that operate along it's southern border are organized crime. Police officers on both the Mexican and Guatemalan side are on the take and will look the other way when these thugs are robbing and hurting people.
As to the OP it is unfortunate. I was not there but I could imagine that the BP must have felt he was in real danger and as many have said a well placed hit with a stone can kill.

I feel the need to add this picture again, self defense? The kid was on the Mexican side, the BPO is behind a FENCE.

As it is being reported it is clearly a case of self defense.
This border patrol agent is a hero.
This country is at war with Mexico. Mexican citizens have been invading for years now, slowly taking over. This country's citizens need to start fighting back.

What are you reading? According to the latest reports the boy that got shot wasn't even throwing any rocks.
