Mexican military chopper flies into US, shoots at border guards

Sounds like the actions of a terrorist, the whole taking hostages and all. (1) Last I checked the US govt isn't a terrorist organization. (2)

(1) Crossing the borders of a sovereign state and shooting at their citizens equates to terrorist activity.

(2) Depends on who you talk to. Remember Operation Fast and Furious?

Well Bureau of Reclamation for one.

So I made a typo. for border patrol.

Thanks for the outstanding response to my post.:lamo

Oh, BOR is the new CBP huh? :lamo
 
Maybe the Mexican government should spring for electronic compasses for their helicopters...the sextant-thing just isn't working out.

Seems of late CONs love the misdirection, 2 shots fired, not an attempt to mimic a 'gun' fight but more like a coyote (4 footed type) hunter. Chopper lands and makes contact to apologize. But out in the boonies it takes more than crossing the border to be 'safe' from detection and intervention.

Now did 'everyone' go to the 2 shots fired, or are you just blowing smoke with some CON game 'what-ifs'????

Everyone (within earshot) did in fact head towards the area where the shots were fired. Guard work is 99% boring as Hell. Anything to pass the boring hours of one's shift would be appreciated and investigated.

No one has ever called me a CON before. Evar.
 
Maybe they were looking for a nice place to play soccer.

Ummm there is no mention of a Border Crossing but crossing the border. not a noun but a verb. 100 yards across the border in Arizona, two shots fired and everyone says it is a mistake.

If I were flying over a border crossing in a helicopter, I think I would recognize it as a border crossing. You know, because of the barricades. :roll:
 
I was proving the point of Canadian authorities detaining Americans.

What does that have to do with a foreign country's law enforcement crossing our border and shooting at our border patrol agents? How is that at all similar?
 
This thread was started with all good intentions of having a good discussion about the incident. But, alas, reading it is like watching Yakov Smirnoff.

You responded to a post that I posted to someone else earlier in the thread.
 
More likely corrupt Mexican military running interference for Mexican drug cartels.

Your president will leap to embrace their apology and take no action whatsoever.

You are assuming the Mexican military were flying it.
 
Good post.

In this case however, the Mexicans called to apologize already. ;)

OK That's good.

It is possible, however, for a cartel to have a helicopter like that. The Zetas are ex-military and they would know how to fly it.
 
That is entirely possible, no doubt. These days it's interesting that nobody got it on video. I wonder what type helicopter it was?

And now, after 100 years of prohibition, we have a situation in which the smugglers are military-qualified and equipped.
 
Lets see...no borders, no laws enforced, and a president that has consistently proved himself to be a weak little bitch that has no respect on the world stage.

Well...gosh...how could this POSSIBLY have happened.

If it quacks and waddles it is a duck... Most have a CON of some sort in them, your CONs hows when it comes to the border.

As a fella who used to duck and dodge rifle shots I can assure you it gets a look but not the sole focus you have to keep your head on a swivel. The sound of a vehicle engine or two can draw the same focus because 'misdirection' isn't unknown... :doh

Course to be effective for longer than a New York Minute the Border Agents have to get on the horn and call for help- so more than two shots would seem required.

But you seem to think the BPs are ill trained and disciplined so silly movie tricks work in the real world, I will not dissuade you....

Quack on McDuck.... :peace

Well... gosh... indeed! Of course when it happened during BushII's time I guess he was being a weak little bitch as well... (just go through Lou Dobbs' many 'reports' on Mexican Military crossing the border while he worked at CNN- he left as Obama took office)

Then again for all the CONs of that day ranted about 'securing the border' the best they could do was a few miles of barrier at a very hefty profit for a few buddies.

Laws are enforced, more have been deported with Obama in the Office than BushII, but of course CONs focus on ONE part of deportaion being suspended as millions more are being sent back... :doh
 
No, you love seeing our border agents and soldiers get shot up when a Democrat is in office. You hate America and its servicemen. You want to turn America into a nation that behaves like some street gang. You hate everything we stand for.
