A new rotor was being brought in Wednesday afternoon to be used as a spare part for a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter brought down by a rock thrown by an illegal immigrant Tuesday, said the patrol’s Yuma sector spokesman….
The helicopter was assisting agents in surveillance and in preventing a group of 17 illegal aliens from running back to Mexico, Gramley said.
While the helicopter hovered over the group, another group of 10 illegal aliens came up south of the All American Canal and threw rocks at the aircraft.
One of the rocks struck the rotor, gashing it near the end of the blade…
…The group of 17 was apprehended, but the group of 10 escaped….
Dude they were “preventing” “illegal aliens” from going back to Mexico?! I have huge issues with the term “illegal aliens” (no person is illegal an act is illegal but no human being is…and on top of that this is some kind of artifical-drawn-white-man’s-line that says goods but not labor flows, and north of this line you are “indian” south of this line you are Mexican) but how exactly did they know those 10 other people were “undocumented”?
Dude, I think we should go sit along the border with bags of rocks…hell we don’t even need sling shots. We could have a game, everybody gets one rock to take down the chopper chasing our people around like ants under a magnifying glass in the sun. Whoever takes down the chopper first wins.
