Lord, give me strength

The teen's family described him as a student who stayed out of trouble. But U.S. law enforcement officials said Adrían Hernández had a criminal record for guiding undocumented immigrants across the border.
Seems his family really didn't take too much notice of what their child was up to

Even the Spanish news station here covered this - but not completely sympathetic to these money hungry relatives.

One guy they interviewed - in Spanish - and who lives on the border and knows the border said that no decent people would have allowed their child to "play" on the border by throwing rocks at the border agent.

This kid was trying along with his fellow gang thugs to kill the border agent and now his family have $$ in their eyes.

We lost a daughter in a car accident a few years ago. It was due to a really rough spot in the highway. It was fixed within a week of the accident.

People approached us about a lawsuit. I was sickened. What would you spend this money on????

If they hadn't fixed the road I would have demanded that though.

PS: It seems disingenuous, IMO, to refer to a teen as playing with his friends. Don't they hang out at that age?

They forgot to say "he just enjoyed helping people" and "loved to make people laugh" - all standard fare whenever a young thug gets shot and the family wails and moans at the horror or losing their 'innocent baby'.

(Hmmm... where's that icon of a smiley barfing?)

The father states he just wants the Americans to do their job? They *WERE* doing their job when his son started making deadly assaults on them! How about Papa doing *his* job and paying attention to what his offspring are doing and warn of the danger involved?

Sheeesh!
