US Border Patrol shot and killed a Mexican, while not anything new, this story does have some uniqueness to it
The man who was shot and killed was in Mexico, on his side of the border, enjoying a cookout, celebrating his 10 year old daughters birthday
US BP claims they fired on them because they were under assault, apparently they had rocks thrown at them. However the video released doesn't show a single rock being thrown, and BP fled the scene after the incident.

now what bothers me most, besides the death of an unarmed man celebrating his daughters birthday, is the reaction to the story. Apparently the consensus in America is it's fine, because all Mexicans are trying to get in and ruin America, these people were just being sly by masking their border dash by having a BBQ
A similar situation last year happened when Canadian Custom officials had bottles and trash thrown at them by drunk American tourists (I say similar, but again, point out there is no evidence of a single rock being thrown) Now imagine if Canadians opened fire on the Americans, the backlash that would have occurred would have been of biblical proportion, why the double standard? Why is the over use of force accepted? And why the fuck are you arming retard racists with guns?
Your country is going in the shitter
