re: #108 Mattand
As someone alluded above, the Border Patrol agents were probably white. Any other color, and families would be planning funerals for some federal employees right now.
More likely the militiaman would have been the one shot dead in that case. But that would touch off an even bigger social bomb, as I can see the wingnut headlines now:
“THE NEW ALAMO: EVIL BROWN MEXICAN BORDER PATROL AGENT ON THE CARTEL PAYROLL MURDERS HEROIC TEXAN DEFENDER OF FREEDOM!!!11
OBAMA AND HOLDER’S REFUSAL TO TURN EVIL MEXICAN OVER TO DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM TO BE HANGED IS PROOF BOTH [n-word]S HATE WHITE PEOPLE!!!!111
