American Tragedy on the Border; Double Standards or Chaos.

Do you remember of a recent border case in which the two border patrol agents shot a suspected drug smugler and were sent to jail? Why is it that these guys went to jail, and the Coast Guard crew that shot at the Cuban smugglers resulting in death, probably will get an award for a "job well done." Why the double standard here?


A Texas jury came back with a guilty verdict. Being convicted of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence has an automatic ten year sentence. Other counts against them had varying punishments. Ramos and Compean were sentenced to a combined twenty-three years in prison, where they will have to try to exist alongside the same type of criminals they had apprehended in their line of duty.
