Afghan migrant shot dead trying to enter Bulgaria
2015-10-16
h/t Instapundit
An Afghan migrant was shot by Bulgarian border guards trying to cross into the country from Turkey and died on his way to hospital, the interior ministry said.

...Public BNR radio cited the interior ministry's chief of staff Georgy Kostov as saying that the group of 50 illegal migrants -- all from Afghanistan -- was intercepted by a patrol of two border guards and a police officer after crossing into Bulgarian territory.

"They put up resistance during the arrest. One of the officers fired warning shots and, in his words, one of the migrants was wounded by a ricochet and later died," Kostov told the radio.
Nice ricochet these Bulgarians have. Well, at least, it wasn't an umbrella.

#6  I've seen other versions of this story that say the Afghans were armed.

#5  Shhhhh! If the Housing Commissar hears that you'll find yourself unfolding the sofa bed and putting clean sheets on it for your new guests.

Don't be silly. If you're lucky the Commissar will let you sleep on a cot outside (for a hefty fee, of course.) Or you'll just disappear.

#4  Why shouldn't burglary and home invasion be reclassified as instances of domestic migration?

#3  What is the difference between a 'migrant' and an invader?

#2  ...I've been saying for a while that the old Eastern Bloc was where this nonsense was going to stop and stop hard.

#1  it has come to this. Well that is what defending borders is in the end.

either you have borders or you dont. And if you have them then you must defend them or they cease to be borders.
