Trump Says Deadly Force Will Be An Option Against Border Rock Trowers

[Mike]

Good for him! Our border agents and troops should not be subject to injury, or death by stoning!

President Trump just drew the line in the sand ... if the immigrants who are marching to the U.S. border throw rocks at our troops they will be shot.

Trump said throwing rocks is like shooting firearms. He noted some of the immigrants in the caravan threw rocks at Mexican troops at the Mexican border, and it hurt some of the troops.

Trump says he hopes our troops won't have to shoot, but he made it clear ... if they throw rocks -- to him, that's a deadly weapon and our soldiers can react with firepower.President Trump just drew the line in the sand ... if the immigrants who are marching to the U.S. border throw rocks at our troops they will be shot.

We keep reading about those microwave projector thingies that give mobs the hotfoot from a distance. I don’t know why we don’t read about us using them.

[Mike]

Great idea! Much better than killing some one . I wonder why we don't use them?

That is a good idea, maybe set the dial to induce a migraine style headache and then play some loud music constantly. I do agree that we need to use rubber bullets or maybe beanbags to shoot at those who would be so brave as to toss rocks or molotov cocktails at border security. I have several good friends that retired from the Border Patrol and some of the stories they have told me would curl your hair, not to mention the ranchers that live far from town and have to deal with this all of the time.

Shoot them, the hell with rubber bullets and hot feet, send hot lead they will stop throwing rocks, and it will be fewer people to fill out papers on. Time to stop coddling criminals.
One of the other threads had an Iraqi that was already a citizen making bombs for the FBI. Why is it so hard for Mexicans to become citizens?

[TxMusky]

Many of them do not want to stay. They make money here and send it back home to their family to start a business there. I worked with a couple of guys in construction years ago who were working to buy bulls to mate with their cows on their land so they could become ranchers. Good idea and I respected their efforts right up to the point where one of them go drunk and hit another car, seriously injuring the woman who was in that car. He was arrested and went to jail, but he had a fake license and as soon as he was released he fled back to Mexico. Sadly that happens all of the time and with the politicians not allowing police to check IDs or look deeper into their background they can do this over and over again after a short stay in their Country.
