One of my classmates in the academy was medically retired, blind in one eye, and suffered from memory loss from a rock. He was only 24 year old when he retiredp

I wouldn't admit to being a liberal either lol. DUH is to emphasize your not so bright defense of migrants throwing rocks at U.S. citizens because they are wearing gear.
Come on petch, he’s making a very valid point that you don’t shoot people for throwing rocks. He didn’t say do nothing. He said use water or tear gas or something, but killing them should not be considered. I agree with that.

Was he still on the tree when he lit it on fire? Yeah, he’ll make a great addition to our country.

Thanks for the assist, Katygirl, but poor Petch seems to love going to the extreme, whether we're talking about what people post or what to do with illegals who throw rocks.

This has nothing to do with a crowd of people at the border.
I was merely making the point that sticks and stones can break bones.

Mexico did indeed offer asylum and work permits.

Was it necessary to pull the race/skin color card? What difference does it make what race or skin color they are? It's totally irrelevant! This is why I hate debating with people like you. You can't debate without resorting to personal attacks and the race card. Shame on you!
