Rocks Thrown at Border Patrol Chopper
Snipola

I just got done reading the 63 replies (currently) to this post.

I'm not going ot get into the illegal alien issue since that
seems to be getting addressed quite nicely.

What I want to mention is that no one has addressed the issue of
a helicopter getting hit with a baseball sized rock thrown from
the ground!

Either the guy had a hell of an arm or that chopper was pretty low.
I'd be curious to know what it was doing so low, unless it was
in the act of landing or taking off. Patrolling the border is
something best done from a bit of altitude. I would think they'd
be operating above the deadmans curve, not below it.
