Speaking of fun on the Mexican border:

Border Patrol Agent Fires At Armed Militia Member Near Rio Grande

A border patrol agent fired several shots at an armed militia member while chasing a group of immigrants Friday near Brownsville, Texas.

Border Patrol Spokesman Omar Zamora told the Associated Press that agents were pursuing a group of immigrants when one agent spotted a man holding a gun near the Rio Grande.

The agent fired four shots but did not hit the man, Zamora said. The man then dropped his weapon and identified himself as a militia member.

The unidentified man was not arrested and appeared to have permission to be on private property where the incident occurred, Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio told the AP. Lucio, whose agency is involved in investigating the incident, said the man was wearing camouflage and was carrying either a rifle or shotgun.

The sheriff said militias really aren’t needed at the Texas-Mexico border given the number of law enforcement agencies already working to secure the area.

“It just creates a problem from my point of view, because we don’t know who they are,” Lucio told the AP.

Naturally, the Keyboard Kommandos over on Twitter are all OBUMMER DECLARES OPEN SEASON ON PATRIOTS!!! ELEVENTY! when the truth is much simpler — a bunch of dipshits in camo and carrying guns are going to cause this kind of problem for the actual law enforcement officers on the border.
