iaintbacchus: Helllo, we’re talking mass punishment, death and serious injury to innocent people, and the fact that Mexico is not just a suburb of the United States. Did you notice any of that. Your whole “shoot first and ask questions later” attitude is very disturbing.

So I take it that preznit’s time has been dominated by productive pursuits, rubber products, and haphazard knowledge of the stars and other less recognized operating systems. His whole house of cads is hanging together barely by a thread, a ambiguous metaphor foisted by an individual with a flute, or a flinging of baloney at clueless people (media) trying to figure out which fork to use, as he embraces the promise of alienation and it’s various gifts it has bestowed on him. What is needed is dissolving boundaries, the latest tome by the Shulgins, ethno-botany as it relates to oemlets and other egg dishes, prepared remarks to fend off media dorks and the dopey 25%, the throb of the zeitgeist, existence in the indeterminate zone, and the opportunities of his dilemma. Wasn’t it Gurdjieff that claimed that people do not perceive reality, as they are not conscious of themselves, but live in a state of hypnotic “waking sleep.” My motto: While sleeping, watch. I guess I’m disappointed with the revelation of no commonality of perception, and it bites me on the ass every trash night. It’s the monkey mind, post-Mcluhanist. No one is in control, absolutely no one.

I don’t want to sound like a minuteman here, but the border patrol is made up of pretty normal human beings, who can be injured by rocks and bottles and who have a right to defend themselves from assault.
I reject the idea that anyone is “killing innocent people”. If you hit someone with a rock or a bottle in a bar you’re going to jail and you’re going to be charged with assult with a deadly weapon. If you assult someone carrying a gun in the same way and you get shot you died from stupidity. Every policeman, security guard, soldier and national guardsman has the right to return a deadly force assult with deadly force.
Teargas isn’t lethal, it just stings a little. It didn’t kill any innocent people when it was fired accross the border. That’s why the cops use it for crowd control. I’ve given classes on how to deal with it before peace marches in Portland.
It was the wrong response only because it’s too random. People who had nothing to do with the attacks are getting gassed. That’s the Mexican government’s fault or more specifically the TJ police. They have been allowing cross border assults on US border patrolman for years.
No, firing teargas accross the border wasn’t a good idea. But stop making it sound worse than it is and put the blame where it belongs.
