It’s long past time to move our country away from these two losers.

Creative legal interpretations, such as using a law written to prosecute armed felons against the law officers who are supposed to catch them, are straight out of the Left Wing playbook.

We dont’ need to pile on.

Well I sincerely hope I am wrong. But if I’m not I’ll send you flowers.

If the fleeing felon had blond hair and blue eyes, I think the policy would be to assume he is a mass murderer escaping from justice and should be shot before escaping or else the US would be culpable for any crimes that the escapee goes on to commit in Mexico.

There are all kinds of problems with this double standard policy. Racial profiling, due process, and not least of all – that particular racial profile will be the majority racial profile in the US in a few years. Heck, even the agents had the same racial characteristics. If Latinos are allowed to flee to Mexico in the course of a felony, you might as well just make it legal for them to commit acts which are criminal for everyone else.

You are woefully misinformed on this case. Read the transcripts, read the myriad articles that cover the case.

1) The most common mistake people make, including AllaPundit, is that the slimeball was unarmed. It’s his word versus the agents. WHY are we trusting this criminal more than our own agents? There was a waiting getaway car on the Mexican side. There is no way to prove that there was, or was not a gun. But, the medical report in the transcript specifies that the angle of the bullet entry is consistent with hitting a man turning back toward the agents.

2) The agent’s senior officers arrived on the scene and witnessed the aftermath. They were informed via their own eyes as well as verbally from all present.

3) The charge of firing their weapon should not have been used in this case, there was a legal precident that was thrown out. Gun carrying officers are SUPPOSED to use their damned guns.

4) The jury was not allowed vital evidence such as the second drug delivery. AND, according to Johnny Sutton, the jury was not aware that the gun firing charge carried a mandatory 10-yr sentence. They probably would have changed their mind if they knew, since that charge made no sense and was far too severe for the situation.

5) Our own Congress lied about these men and convicted them before they were even tried. Remember the “go out and shoot us some Mexicans? comment? These two agents are Mexican for crying out loud, how much sense does THAT make.

I live in South Texas. I suggest anyone that thinks that Ramos/Compean deserved their sentences come down to the border and see what it is like. Have you ever been in a high-speed chase? Have you ever been in a fight with someone that you thought might be armed? People are judging these men for a decision they made in the heat of battle WHILE DEFENDING OUR GOD DAMNED BORDERS!

Some perspective, please. Don’t make me break out the stats of how many people are killed, raped or injured by ILLEGAL aliens like the slimeball that Ramos/Compean shot in the ass.

PS mark my words. Another border war hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be railroaded into prison before Obama’s term is up.

Over MY dead body and I wouldn’t be particularly quick to take that bet if I were you.

Believe’em. And STOP.

As Andy McCarthy (in)famously said…

McCarthy was the “Bad Guy” in this episode. His arrogant North East lawyer’s view was full of lies and inaccuracies. Logical enough since he took the side of Johnny Sutton who lied several times before Congress about the evidence against R&C. He admitted he perjured himself but, of course, there are no consequences for the tassle loafer class.

It’s old news. AP refuses to get in the mud with plain folks like R&C and the millions of right wing whackos that want the f’g drug dealers shot every time they stick their butts over the border.

One thing more… R&C and their supporters deserve recognition for their refusal to make a racial issue out of this incident. They’re too true blue American to push it but I will. The government knew what was in store for them when they put them into the general prison population. The Feds wanted them beaten as much as the Mexican Mafia goons that did it. Sutton and the ICE administrators that went along with this fraud could have been made out as racists but the low class right wing fanatics siding with R&C think justice should stand on its own. They played it straight and by the rules. Like real Americans. God Bless Them All.

Interesting how Chertoff and other HLS officials were using illegals.

Funny how Roger Barnett gets interveiwed in 2004 (you can find it online) and talks about how he can catch illegals with just the force of his voice and no gun or gun holstered. How he talks about the money game with BP and government officials. Then after Ramos & Compean, the Mexican Legal Defense starts suing Barnett as a scare tactic and eventually he ends up getting fined. You ever read the transcripts? Sounds like what car accident victims say when trying to get a few bucks off of insurance companies.

Then you start hearing about AZ being the state with the highest per capita kidnap rate. That it’s because drug dealers from Mexico are taking them for ransom. Then I start thinking, yeah, these BP agents are really, really bad guys.

I hope the two officers enjoy their freedom and thanks to George Bush for providing it.

Well, nobody knows everything ;-), but maybe you’ve swung too far back in the other direction. No doubt McCarthy wrote a convincing analysis, but the selection of information is always in question — especially in this day and age. I believe it when jurors say they were snookered by the government at the trial, and I’m really sick of the police being micromanaged and second-guessed at every step. I am awed that there are still men who want a career in law enforcement. They go out there in the dark facing the sewage of society and they deserve more slack.

All they had to do to avoid the mess was to file an after action report that they fired at a fleeing suspect that escaped not attempt to cover it up and lie about firing their weapons.
