Guardsmen deployed to border charged in shooting spree
It's hard to improve on this AP piece about three off duty Texas National Guardsmen who drank, drove, and shot.
"They gave us a bunch of yahoo military talk," [Chief Deputy Sheriff] Cano said. "We advised them we weren't playing with them. Once they had spent a night (in jail), they changed their attitude."
No wonder some are jumpy over "Operation Jump Start," the plan to deploy 6,000 Guardsmen along the southern border.
RAY PEDRAZA, reporting for KGBT in Harlingen, gives us a different view of Jump Start's effectiveness: "[F]olks we talked to say they're still crossing illegally even though the price of doing so is now sky high."
