Two Mexicans have been killed by Border Agents lately and there is outrage in Mexico over the latest death.
I the latest death came during an alleged border incursion where Mexicans were throwing rocks at border agents and one of them shot at the perps after warnings to stop were ineffective.
The victim, a 15 year old male, was shot near the eye and his family insist that he was merely "playing" near the fence.
Not surprisingly, his family insist that he was a wonderful human being who never did wrong.
The story says he was in a "grey metal coffin" and I wondered if that meant cheap or expensive and how it was paid for.
There is supposed to be a video showing part of the incident and also showing Mexican authorities crossing into the US, retrieving an object and returning to where the body was located.
It was later reported that a .40 caliber shell casing was located on the Mexico side (hmmm, I wonder how it got there).
Frankly, I am surprised our media aren't hammering the Border Patrol with this one.
I guess it is too hard to spin it their way in today's political climate.
BTW, 17 Mexicans have been killed near the border so far this year.
Only 12 died in all of 2009.
