A teen was shot during a rock throwing protest on Monday. They say that the teen was participating in the events and even after verbal warnings was shot and later died at a nearby hospital. The body of the teen was found on the mexican side of the border. The area where the assault occured is a very common ground for such outbreaks. They are being taken very seriously now due to the 799 assaults on border patrol officers in the 2009-2010 year. One officer says that it's not like they are throwing pebbles.
The border patrol has taken this a little bit to far now. They do not need to be opening fire on citizens, even if they are throwing rocks or pebbles or anything at all. They were on the Mexican side of the border, they should be allowed to protest wherever and whenever they like, as long as they are on their own side. If they cross into the United States there is a little bit of a difference because they are here illegaly. But still, they should not be shot. Taken into custody, tried and punished yes. But shot and killed, most definetly not.
