No one is "kidnapping children". Do you realize that many of these kids were with adults who weren't related to them? In other words, they were being trafficked.

It's absolutely insane that you want soldiers to just stand there and do nothing while under attack---and want kids to stay with traffickers
No i dont want soldiers to just stand there while people are throwing rocks at them just move a little but really how far can one throw a rock, also it would be a cold callous soldier who would use deadly force on some individual armed only with a rock is this what America has become? a plaything for a psychotic coward who himself used his wealth and priviledge to avoid serving his country when asked to do so..
As for kids being separated from parents? i call it kidnapping.

The most dangerous rocks are the ones that kindred spirits of sociopaths crawl out from under when one gains national power and yes...this is what happened in Nazi Germany. Dehumanizing a group of people is a tactic used by scumbags such as Trump.

Why are people assuming that these people are going to be throwing rocks? They are walking toward the U.S. border with the intention of asking for asylum. This is a legal way to enter the country. Lots of people are assuming that they're going to storm the border... but why? They are still 1,000 miles away and they are coming by foot. It will be weeks, if not longer, until they get anywhere near the border. Most of them aren't even going to make it this far. This is something that migrants do every fall and the only reason Trump is making an enormous issue out of it is because the midterms are next week. Watch, after Tuesday, nothing else will be said about it.

The cop has jurisdiction. The military doesn't.

Remember the "Central Park Five"?
He wanted the death penalty for them before they were convicted.

He is a self proclaimed "Nationalist" though so you must "MAGA" or "ethnic cleanse" even if it means shooting unarmed brown migrants throwing rocks.

Adolf would be proud.
Let's say someone threw a rock at your face, and it hit your eye, traveling at 45 miles an hour. What kind of damage would that do to your eye? I'll wait...

I read the comments that's why I stated it should be avoided.

The whole world will be watching and shooting unarmed people at a border would be condemned the world over and would be forever an historical stain. on the US.

Just grab a shield, use tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets and let them then throw rocks at armoured military vehicles.

They can throw rocks all day at armoured military vehicles, it's not going to do them any good, and they will soon row tired.

The US Military has dealt with far worse in Iraq and Afghnaistan and this Caravan should not present a masive problem.

As heinous as that was, the national guard was legally there.

The US military is not supposed to use force on American soil under non-wartime circumstance. They have no authority to detain anyone.

What could go wrong?

Well after we get another Kent state, 25% of the country will be cheering the deaths of dirty [racist epithets for hispanics]. 100 of them will be outed on social media and never have a job again.
50% will be aghast but do nothing and 25% will try to implement a speech and behavior code. Think the family separation mess but 100 times worse.
