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.
Did you miss my posts in the Caravan thread? Or other threads here? I'm anti-illegals. Just like I loathe liberals.

Just because I feel going from A-Z when there are other options doesn't mean I'm defending what they're doing.

How many is in this group? 5000?

Although I hope no one is killed we do have to show strength and defense of our borders or other caravans will follow. This will result in less help for Americans.

It was one man, not "the migrant caravan" up a tree in AZ throwing rocks at BP and a helicopter.

"The 31-year-old, whom authorities didn’t name, had climbed a tree to try to avoid capture, then lit the tree afire and began to throw rocks at the agents as well as a helicopter called in to help track him. Neither the agents nor the helicopter were hit by the projectiles.

Bottom line and regardless of wearing gear, throwing rocks at U.S. border patrol is not acceptable or defensible period.

First the left claimed there was no caravan, then they laughed because they said they were miles and miles away, all the while claiming they are peaceful.

And here we are, right on our border throwing rocks at US border patrols. If they get in and if they learn this is acceptable what will they resort to get what they want?

I've seen a lot of footage of BP and none have been wearing protective gear. That being said, I would rather seem them get their arse kicked than killed.

Thanks for the information and I stand corrected.

That's insane. They knew rocks were thrown and they just crashed through the border going into Mexico. Why wouldn't they wear protective gear?

You know even if they just use tear gas the libs will be boohoo'ing that there were children and babies in the crowd, which I agree is sad, but that's on the parents.

Not saying it was right, because it certainly isn't. It was one man in a tree trying to set the tree on fire. They apprehended and arrested the man. No one was hurt. From what I read in this article, it says, "The Pentagon reacted to Trump by stating that it could not open fire on US soil due to the 1878 law known as "Posse Comitatus," which prohibits the military from enforcing domestic laws, including immigration laws." news4europe

What fallout is that? Let me guess: you're going to repeat the same old lie that we support amnesty for all illegals. So go ahead, restate the same old tired myth that liberals support all illegal immigrants entering the US without restriction. It just makes you look silly and you can't back it up.

Again, LRAD would easily handle a crowd of 5000 or more...

We have the technology. Let's use it.
