    a rule of criminal statutes that any death which occurs during the commission of a felony is first degree murder, and all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder.

    I believe this to be just another apology/excuse from the U.S. to Mexico. Trust me if our agents would have killed the gunmen there would be outrage in Mexico. Instead, one of our agents is killed, 2 gunmen are caught, and our side "suggests" it was friendly fire. The slain agent's family has gotta feel real good about that.

    We hereby proclaim the friendly-fire theory . . . so see? . . . you can all go back to whatever it was that you were doing . . . nothing to focus on here. Just like with executive priviledge for Holder, it is a nonissue . . .dont concern your feeble minds . . . we have it under control . . .

    If the Federal government would focus on making our borders safe, instead of what happens in Iran or Syria or Libya or Egypt, this would not have happened. I blame the President and Department of Home Land (in)Security.

    believe a news organization that has been caught doctoring recordings to get what they want. NBC News should have the "news" removed from their name.

    a couple of times a year. Darkness in the desert setting surely contributed to the confusion of the presumed hostile circumstances. Ivie sounded he was a real good guy. Tough on his partners if this is the way it really went down.
