A border patrol agent fired several shots at an armed militia member while chasing a group of immigrants Friday near Brownsville, Texas.
Border Patrol Spokesman Omar Zamora told the Associated Press that agents were pursuing a group of immigrants when one agent spotted a man holding a gun near the Rio Grande.
The agent fired four shots but did not hit the man, Zamora said. The man then dropped his weapon and identified himself as a militia member.
The unidentified man was not arrested and appeared to have permission to be on private property where the incident occurred, Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio told the AP.
Lucio, whose agency is involved in investigating the incident, said the man was wearing camouflage and was carrying either a rifle or shotgun.
The local sheriff also made this statement:
"We really don't need the militia here." He recognized they have the right to carry weapons, but noted that with the Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement, there are enough agencies working to secure the border. Gov. Rick Perry also called as many as 1,000 National Guard members to the border.
"It just creates a problem from my point of view, because we don't know who they are," Lucio said.
Bunch of Rambo wannabes running around playing soldier, only adds to the burden of the carefully trained Border Patrol.
Personally I think if the border agents shoot a couple of the dipshits maybe the rest of them will get the hint and get the hell out of the way.
If you don't want to be called a terrorist, don't fucking dress like a member of ISIS / ISIL
ReplyDeleteYeah, real brave to be hiding behind guns and masks.
DeleteThey're wearing masks so their friends at work don't recognize them.
DeleteWait.....WORK ? What's that ?? Oh; they must have been on vacation when this photo was taken.
There's at least a few of the Texas "militia" who are middle-aged wealthy farmers with time on their hands and shit-for-brains. Interestingly enough, they receive heavy, heavy Farm Subsidies from the Federal gub-mint, the same gub-mint that they hate and want to take down. Pointing out the hypocrisy of their positions to them is a waste of time.
DeleteAmazing, a policeman kills a young unarmed black teen (by pumping six bullets into him) in Missouri but the boarder patrol knows better than to shoot the "ARMED" idiot?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the "armed idiot" was white.
DeleteAlso, they reiterate the armed man's right to be carrying a weapon. It's okay as long as you are not Black, Muslim, or Hispanic.
DeleteYAY !!
ReplyDeleteBet that weekend warrior pulled a Nugent and shit his pants. Did it kick daddy?
ReplyDeleteJust ran across this on my twittter feed.
ReplyDelete"I just met someone who doesn't know who Robert Downey Jr or Sarah Palin are. I don't understand this."
Now, I've met many people who have no idea what Sarah's husband's name is, and literally nothing about her.
But they know of her.
The tweet was just funny to me. It's easy to not follow anyone. I personally had never heard the name kardashian until 2011. Celebirty doesn't interest me.
Gonna need Beldar to add to his troll comment list...stupid "random" comments where the troll says nobody knows Baldy and *insert* a celebrity with a final mention of a the Kardtrashians!
DeleteStupid ass troll....is like Timex y'all...
"Takes a licking and keeps on trolling...ummm I mean ticking"
LOL!!!
Celebrity doesn't interest me either. What passes as "news" talks about someone and I tell my husband, "never heard of 'em."
DeleteWait until the pee puddlers find out they've been had. It's coming.

How is that a troll comment? Not shocked Gina inserted her hate here, but there are always random comments on threads. Now I"m convinced there are a lot of people here who do nothing all day but hate.
DeleteAnonymous@ 5:14 PM
Delete"Now, I've met many people who have no idea what Sarah's husband's name is, and literally nothing about her."
Here's what's funny: I know many people who have heard of Sarah Palin but who have no idea who fathered all five of her children. Who is Track's "rill" father? Who is Piper's "rill" father? Who is Tri-G's "rill" mother? and "rill" father? But really - I mean "rilly" - who cares what her husband's name is or even if she has a husband?
More and more people all the time know who the "rill" Sarah Palin is and we don't like her.
2:28 AM UP ALL NIGHT TROLL you are the only one who comments about HATE everyday. Grow Up, you infantile twerp.
Delete@2:28 AM Are you implying that YOU are not a TROLL? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, get a life, just no/
Deletejulezz/justtine/queenie/quartz/schwartz/palinlover4ever
sleeping is not in your Trolling schedule.
I don't know about anyone else, but this makes me feel so much safer that I felt before. An unarmed black male gets killed, when armed idiots at the border don't even suffer a graze wound? What's wrong with this picture?
ReplyDeleteWell, lets see, the 300lb young man viciously attacked a cop for no reason, and ended up getting shot and killed during the attack. As terrible as it is, it makes sense and is perfectly reasonable actually.
DeleteThis guy was on private property, did not do anything to the border patrol, but got shot at anyways, because anyone who really knows the border patrol also knows what an amateur hour it is. Regardless he put his weapon down and identified himself, and was not arrested because he did nothing wrong. Again perfectly reasonable, and I really don't know why, but it seems you are implying this guy should have been shot by the government while standing on private property fully within his legal rights?
You lack in reasonable logic Anita Winecooler. But you are heavy on the kukoo.
Hope they all just do each other in, with bullets.
ReplyDeleteHappiness is not a warm gun Bang bang shoot shoot Long live john Lennon.
ReplyDeleteIs a circular firing squad too much to ask for?
ReplyDeleteI guess the border agents found these guys to be more likely to shoot them than the immigrants?
ReplyDeleteIf these so called militia folks are so gun ho on protecting our borders why don't they join the REAL border patrol ?
ReplyDeleteYou would have to pass a drug test to join the real Border Patrol. And a psychological exam. So that leaves these idiots out.
DeleteA little good news on the militarization of America

How high does your I.Q. have to be to buy a gun and camo ?
ReplyDeleteAmmosexuals are primarily little boys in adult bodies. They suffer from a form of emotional (and intellectual) retardation. They can often be spotted wearing camo in monster trucks. I have seen them acting out in duelies with the stars and bars.. It is what they learned from observing daddy and his friends. It's a generational thing.
DeleteHow high does your I.Q. have to be…
DeleteNot as high as it needs to be to know that you don't want to have one in the house.
Most Americans have never had an I.Q. test done! I've asked numerous folks throughout the years and I'm a senior.
DeleteBorder agents and the militia are fighting it out. Anybody American dies in the shoot out their blood will be on Sarah Palin's head. Why? By undermining the president and yapping about impeachment because of the border.
ReplyDelete"Boehner was asked about Palin’s comments that the president should be impeached because of the influx of child immigrants on the Southern border. He replied with a cold, “I disagree.”
"Boehner handled Sarah Palin’s desperate cries for attention perfectly. One of the main reasons why Sarah Palin hates President Obama so much is that he ignores her. Speaker Boehner also understands that one should never feed the Palin bridge troll by engaging with her."
Perhaps people who like to dress-up in camo and open-carry firearms should be picked up and flown to and dropped-off right on the border of Syria and Iraq?
ReplyDeleteBoy howdy could they ever play soldier then!
Imagine the freedom-protectin' they could accomplish!
That would be Sarah Palin you would drop off in Iraq. She said she loves to wear camo, loves to tote guns and ejoys hunting even though it takes Sarah five shots to kill a non-moving big ass carbon.
DeleteDrop Perry off at the border and Palin in the middle of the ISIS group!!!
DeleteWhy should they be on other borders when they correctly are more interested in protecting their own? Why don't you go to Iraq or Syria?
DeleteThere is a militant group that calls themselves the Huey Newton Club. They are blacks toting guns who say they don't need the police, they will protect their community with their guns.
ReplyDeleteThese so called militia groups seem to think the Constitution gives them the right to "secure" America in place of the authorities. It's time these idiots are taught a lesson. If that means some have to die, well some people have to learn the hard way.
Is this posting about Black Militiamen on the Border? Do the White Militiamen need to be taught a lesson? Do they also need to learn the 'hard' way? Are you typing while wearing your White Halloween Hood and your White Pee-Stained Incest Sheet? We need to clean up the Dirty Bigotry first.
DeleteTo bad you cannot read.
DeleteThis is about idiot militia groups and their insane idea that they can replace the police.
A "carefully trained Border Patrol" agent? Really? He just shot at somebody who had a gun "ON PRIVATE PROPERTY". and missed.
ReplyDeleteI fail to see any careful training........ either to identify your target and where you are, or how to shoot straight.
This idiot border patrol agent was probably lost, then panicked. He certainly wasn't acting professionally.
Wonder how much of the border on the American side is on private property? Is the Border Patrol's job to only prevent someone from slipping into the country on public property? but they have no control about someone crossing onto private property or control about random militia pointing guns at whoever? It wasn't but a couple of months ago that militia had high-powered weapons pointing at Federal officers up in Bundy-funny land. To be effective and at the same time safe, I think Border Patrol agents should have every right to demand militias or even the property owners themselves to drop their guns and identify themselves.
DeleteBased on the government's actions at the Bundy ranch "stand off", I wouldn't be surprised if Border Patrol agents are instructed to not shoot the idiot militia if they can avoid it. Firing at him but missing did the job, the guy finally dropped his gun.
I'm with whoever above said "shoot a couple of the idiots and maybe they'll get the message". Idle little boys fantasizing about being "rill" soldiers.
Exactly 6:52. Thank you. That really is the only story here.
