“Prosecutors said Swartz was frustrated over repeated encounters with people on the Mexico side of the border fence who throw rocks at agents to distract them from smugglers. They say he lost his cool and fatally shot Elena Rodríguez. Swartz fired about 16 rounds, and the boy was hit at least 10 times in the back and head.“
And he’s not guilty of manslaughter. Murder charges weren’t even in the mix. For shooting a 16-year-old in the head 10 times across an international border.
Try murder you fuckling asshole prosecutors.
“Lost his cool”, “frustrated”…
These are terms we use when somebody shouts at a telemarketer, or insults his buddies over a joke, not when a grown man levels his gun at a veritable child and opens fire.
He took a child’s life to serve his own sick hubris and he should get the boats, not a nice trial in a clean courtroom.
