I didn't say murdered, I didn't say killed.

Agent Rosas was assassinated.

The cause of his death was horrendous enough that I would expect ANY President to take a few moments to speak to the public about it.

Obama didn't bother to take 10 seconds.

I certainly WOULD NOT expect that and anyone who does is foolish.
Our government has a vested interest in keeping facts about the Border Patrol from the public...and in downplaying this incident.

Agent Rosas was ambused and shot 4 times in the head.
That's assassination.
The others were not ambused.


How interesting... you think assassination is a lesser crime than murder.

And yes, if you take the time to read all of the examples, they were ambushed.

I see your problem... you don't understand the word ambush.

am·bush (m b sh) n.
1. The act of lying in wait to attack by surprise.
2. A sudden attack made from a concealed position.
3. a. Those hiding in order to attack by surprise.

The others were not ambushed.
Rosas was.

Actually, having been a long time property owner and resident in Arizona and New Mexico I probably know the desert better than you, better than most folks...but this didn't happen in New Mexico.. you're off by 2 states.

The ME's report by itself is sufficient for all but the blind.
The station agents also know what actually happened, and they'll discuss it with you if you have their trust.
I do.
You don't.

You're "sad"?? How quaint.

You don't know squat about my anger, nor about the protests I've participated in supporting Border Patrol agents and against Ex-President Bush - so all you've done is opened your mouth and inserted your foot.

You obviously don't understand the word ambush. If you did you would have realized that I've already provided evidence of such. You can't nuance your way out of this one. The intransitive verb ambush means to lie in wait. This is exactly what happened to Agent Susan Lynn Rodriguez, an agent I've already used as an example. She approached a place where she thought a suspect was hiding. You know, where he was waiting. Not seeing him initially, the suspect used the cover of the corn field to fire shots, killing Agent Rodriguez. That my dear is an ambush!

I was long ago familiar with the site you posted...before it ever even crossed your faulty radar.

If you were so familiar with it, that might explain the ease with which you choose to distort it to conform to your personal world view.

DHS will also tell you the southern border is under control.
They're just as allergic to the truth as you are.

From their site it seems to be showing an ongoing struggle. Nothing about in control or out. Just the facts. No judgment on them. Sounds like you have very little respect for our agents in the Department of Homeland Security.

Me? That's a laugh.
You're in the top 3 on this board for intellectual dishonesty, and you've just about lapped the pack.

I'm not the one trying to make things into something they're not. That's what this is all about and is the foundation of your dishonesty.

There you go again, fabricating things out of thin air... a tactic used by losers. You seem to hurl accusastions at others simply because you're fascinated by the smell of your own poop.

No, I'm merely drawing inferences from the facts presented.

No BP Agent's death is "superior" to another... how thoroughally disgusting of you to promote that idea.

You are saying that one is superior to another by the manner in which you wish their death to be handled. You complain about the silence of Obama but ignore the silence of previous Presidents. That my dear is called selective outrage for political points.


I'm aware that you don't understand the definition of the word "ambush", and that the following will prove a challenge to you:
When an agent dies because he lost control of his vehicle...that's not an ambush.
When an agent dies because he drowned while trying to save someone...that's not an ambush.
When an agent dies during an altercation...that's not an ambush.
When an agent dies because the ahole turns around and runs his vehicle over him...that's not an ambush.

Obama should have shown outrage over the incident.
Instead, he was silent.
Pathetic on his part.
