Journey For Justice Dec 13th, Day 13: Nogales: Rock, Youth, Semi-automatic Gun

This is our 'wall' viewed from the Mexico side of Nogales & the place where a u.s.ofa. man standing on u.s.ofa. soil shot through the bars & sent 10 bullets into the back of the back, neck, head of a 16 year old kid walking down the sidewalk in Mexico who had accompanied his grandmother to her home & was returning to his home.

Look at the height of this wall - at least 30 feet. The border patrol man claims the youth had thrown a stone at him, making him feel unsafe so he retaliated & shot him.

We allow a child to be shot when law enforcement feels threatened by a stone thrown over a 30 foot fence or maybe in between the what 3" [if that] opening between columns?

Even more egregious, according to the FBI investigator, José Antonio Rodriguez was on surveillance cameras walking without any evidence of a rock.

The border patrol man was found innocent of murder - twice.

We met with Jose's mother who says there has been no justice for her child. The pain & sorrow & guilt & shame I feel is overwhelming. Yet she graciously thanked us for coming & for not forgetting her son nor what the u.s.ofa. police did to him.
