This is dedicated to a 15 year old Mexican boy shot and killed by a US Border Patrol Agent for throwing rocks ACROSS A RIVER at him
(FYI: Yours truly was arrested on “Columbus Day” 1969 at the Central Park Sheep Meadow in Manhattan for throwing a rock at a cop who had just severely abused a captive while attempting to load him (threw him actually) into a paddy wagon. I was 15.)
“U.S. authorities have said the agent shot Hernandez while trying to arrest illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande on June 7, 2010. Some witnesses said people on the Mexican side of the river, including Hernandez, were throwing rocks at the agent.
Border agents are generally allowed to use lethal force against rock throwers” (source)
