You might wanna read up on this story. They didn't kill anyone. They shot a man in the ass.

I think he was referring to la petite mort? Maybe?

ha...maybe, I don't know how though.

Anyways, I just hope that these people don't get their jobs back, or get any similar type job. I wouldn't put it past my city to allow something like that.

I won't disagree with you on how jacked up El Paso is but being a convicted felon pretty much bars you from making any type of decent living.

That was definitely sarcasm.

Sure the BP agents might have known the guy was a smuggler . . . but I don't think that's likely (in any of the forms we've discussed) and apparently neither did a jury. I feel like living with the felon label is fine with me, even if I'm not necessarily sure where I stand on the commutation as a whole.

Then again, I'm on record as taking a pretty hard-line stance on law enforcement issues, and think the Border Patrol is pretty much the definition of hapless.
