Why did they have to kill the poor chap? Couldn't they have just arrested him and deported him?
If something like this happened here in the 'states, I promise you, the news media would give the administration all hell.
I agree with you. There is no need for such unnecessary use of force.
Can you imagine what would happen if say British border patrol, coast guard were to shoot a boat filled with illegal refugees? Or worse, imagine if an American border patrol were to machine gun illegal mexicans attempting to cross the border?
Guaranteed there would be a global human rights clamor. Oi Vei!
