| Border Patrol agent killed, one wounded at Naco AZ |
| 2012-10-03 |
| A U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed and another wounded in a shooting Tuesday morning near Naco, the agency said. Border agents are searching the hills between Bisbee and Douglas for the gunman. Nicholas Ivie, 30, was killed around 1:50 a.m. after he and two other agents responded to a sensor hit near mile marker 352 on State Route 80, the Border Patrol confirmed about 12:30 p.m. At an afternoon news conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge James Turgal refused to release specifics on the case; he declined to comment on reports that two suspects in the shooting have been detained in Mexico. The agents who were shot worked out of the Naco BP station, which was recently renamed in honor of Brian Terry, a Border Patrol agent who was killed in a 2010 shootout with bandits just north of Nogales. Weapons found at the scene of Terry's death were linked to the controversial Fast and Furious gun-smuggling probe. "I was honored to help dedicate the station in Brian Terry’s name two weeks ago and today I am deeply pained that we now mourn the death of another agent from that same station," Congressman Ron Barber said in a press release. Gov. Jan Brewer blasted the federal government in a statement on the shooting. "What happens next has become all-too-familiar in Arizona. Flags will be lowered in honor of the slain agent. Elected officials will vow to find those responsible. Arizonans and Americans will grieve, and they should. But this ought not only be a day of tears. There should be anger, too. Righteous anger – at the kind of evil that causes sorrow this deep, and at the federal failure and political stalemate that has left our border unsecured and our Border Patrol in harm's way. Four fallen agents in less than two years is the result," Brewer said in a press release. "It has been 558 days since the Obama administration declared the security of the U.S.-Mexico border 'better now than it has ever been.' I'll remember that statement today," she said. |

| #5 I have no idea how many of you people were around for Carter and the start of the fake war with finger dude from Afghanistan and the group that has been destroying our country from within for better part of 50 years give or take but my hats off to all of you! What better than to USE a black man in the White House to get the blacks all stirred up and minority against majority through using class warfare and race, itÂ’s been done everywhere BUTT nobody has ever used a black man and so many stupid ass white people before in all of history! The United States has no borders at all and who is killing agents minorities and illegals! These people donÂ’t care about money they donÂ’t even know how to make it, it is about control and power! All those stupid ass artists and the like only a matter of time, gays only a matter of time disabled only a matter of time! Food supply has been turned into a bio weapon why else do all of the countries troops need POWER drinks they never did before! It is the protein that is being compromised from plant to animal to human in the food chain taste difference was noticeable over 10 years ago in beef and meats rotting in less than a week in some cases! What better than to groom a black man who is half white country club black man to undo the country and turn it upside down for a group of inbred white crackers with no souls and believe they have no souls watch them move and talk they canÂ’t even respond correctly in conversation in any job title! They always try to project and talk down and dissuade from the truth and obfuscate all facts and bend it to their sick end! The fact that so many people can be fooled by so few is pathetic at best remember give the people what they DESIRE and leading them all around by the nose takes no effort at all! The kindness and political correctness is nothing more than an artificial mask they create to meet their goals and end game they have no souls what so ever! Serbia the only currency was quote HARD CURRENCY and they all demanded German currency for pay offs and trade from the beginning the bank money was not from guns and oil what country in Europe now has all the money? Some of the very people who fought in World War 2 back up the theory of what these people really are and how they have all been duped and fooled like birth defected children born 3 cans short of a six pack! Anyways kids remember MONEY TALKS AND TALK IS CHEAP take it for what it is but remember life is priceless you have ALL BEEN FUCKED FUCKED FUCKED AND RE-FUCKED LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! May you all find what it is you seek in your Alice In Wonder Land Fucked Up World and remember when it does hit the fan remember what you are fighting for the real War is In Country that would be The United States of America! DonÂ’t believe the LIE! PEACE! |

| #4 I wondered the same thing about F & F firearms. That would be another can of worms for this administration. The border patrol had some of the best man trackers in the world although the institutional memory for tracking seems to be waning--probably because of the flood of immigrants coming across the border who mess up the scene for "sign-cutting." There are still some old-timers in the U.S. who do this well. |

| #2 Priorities--they call it Mooselimb Bros for a reason--code, ya know . From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2011, according to the U.S. Treasury, the federal government increased spending on foreign aid by 80 percent and, in fiscal 2011, spent 76 percent more on foreign aid than it did securing the borders of the United States. |
