I wanted to beat 'you know who' with this entertaining article.

"A confrontation between federal law enforcement agents erupted in gunfire Thursday evening in Long Beach, leaving one dead and another seriously injured, authorities said."

They should install metal detectors! There's no reason for anyone other than a federal law enforcement officer to have a gun in a federal buil... Oh. Wait.

[Jim Johnson]

I'm surprised that it doesn't happen more often.

Hey... you guys can shoot each other, why can't we?

"The shooting sparked a major response by the Long Beach Police Department, the FBI and the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility."


"ICE Office of Professional Responsibility"

Thats got to win the oxymoronic phrase of the year award.

[Jim Johnson]

I'm certain that they will be able to take care of this administratively.

 "ICE was ranked 222nd  on a list of 240 federal agencies, proposing a new initiative to tackle "morale" problems."

Instead of "going Postal"... will the new saying be "going ICE"?

an Hispanic coworker was telling me yesterday that he was working towards becoming a Border Patrol guy .... but he just couldn't go with some of their rules.
He likes the idea of keeping "illegals" out, but doesn't like  jailing women and children and they told him that you were not supposed to save people who were crossing the river. He said he would have to try to help them. He couldn't follow those orders. He said moral was really low in there ... except for all the drug smugglers of course.
