A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.
Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.
It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.
According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.
Surely you see the difference there though. An official position versus an individual with no authority committing a crime. It’s only an act of war to the most sensationalist.
Yeah I wasn’t trying to equate them. Just showing that border incidents can escalate quickly and that it has already happened between these two.
