AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE BEHAVIOR OF TWO BORDER PATROL
AGENTS IS MAKING HEADLINES, AFTER A 16-YEAR-OLD, WHO WAS
ATTENDING TO SMUGGLE DRUGS INTO THE COUNTRY, WAS ENCOURAGED TO
DRINK LIQUID METH.
THE 16-YEAR-OLD WAS TRYING TO COME INTO THE COUNTRY, AND HE
HAD A BACKPACK THAT CONTAINED TWO BOTTLES WITH A YELLOWISH
LIQUID.
THE AGENTS OF COURSE LOOKED AT THE LIQUID, ASKED HIM WHAT
IT WAS, AND HE CLAIMED IT WAS APPLE JUICE.
THE OFFICERS OF COURSE DID NOT BELIEVE HIM, AND DID AN INITIAL
TEST ON THE LIQUID, BUT ONE THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE AT REVEALING A
LIQUID METHAMPHETAMINE, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS LIQUID WAS.
AND SO, THEY ENCOURAGED HIM TO DRINK THE LIQUID, AND NOW
HE HAS DIED.
A COUPLE HOURS AFTER INGESTING IT, HE DIED.
I WANT TO GO TO THIS ABC SEVEN NEWS REPORT, BECAUSE THEY
GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, AND IT GIVES YOU
VISUALS OF WHAT OCCURRED.
TAKE A LOOK.
AROUND 6:45 PM, U.S.
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION SAID THE 16-YEAR-OLD
WAS CARRYING A BAG FILLED WITH TWO AMBER COLORED BOTTLES.
HE WAS USING HIS BORDER CROSSING CARD ñ HE WAS FROM TIJUANA.
WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS INSIDE THE BOTTLES, HE CLAIMED IT WAS
JUICE.
SO, AT A SECOND INSPECTION AREA, THEY ASKED HIM TO TAKE A
SIP OF IT TO PROVE IT.
SO, HE TAKES A SIP, AND THEN ANOTHER, AND THEN ANOTHER,
AND THEN ANOTHER.
FOR SIX IN TOTAL, THEY CONCENTRATED
METHAMPHETAMINE LIQUID.
HE LATER DIED.
THAT WAS FROM ABC SEVEN IN SAN DIEGO, WE WILL HAVE A LINK
TO THE FULL VIDEO IN THE DISCUSSION BOX BELOW.
SO, GUYS, IT'S A TERRIBLE STORY.
I DON'T ñ
I THINK SOME OF THIS STUFF IS CLEAR, SOME OF IT IS NOT.
BUT LET ME WHAT TELL YOU HAPPENED NEXT: HE BEGAN
SWEATING, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, AND STARTED
SCREAMING IN PAIN.
HE STARTED SHOUTING, "MY HEART, MY HEART!"
THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT FILED BY
THE FAMILY.
I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT DEGREE THOSE AGENTS KNEW THAT IT
WOULD KILL HIM.
I HOPE TO GOD THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WOULD KILL HIM.
IS THERE NEGLIGENCE IN NOT KNOWING THAT LIQUID MESS, WHICH
IS WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO PREVENT ñ
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS LIQUID METH, THAT'S WHY THEY STOPPED HIM
ñ FOR THEM, OR THEIR MANAGER, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRAINING.
LIKE, DON'T LET THEM DRINK IT TO TRY TO PROVE IT TO YOU,
BECAUSE THEY WILL DIE ON THE SPOT, RIGHT?
AND SO, LIKE, HE STARTED HAVING REACTIONS IMMEDIATELY, HE
DIED A FEW HOURS LATER, AS ANA POINTED OUT, IN A HOSPITAL.
WHAT IS THE WORST TO ME IS THAT INSTEAD OF SEEKING MEDICAL
HELP, THEY PUT HIM INTO CUSTODY.
HE IS NOT FAKING IT, HE WAS TRYING TO PROVE IT WASN'T APPLE
JUICE, IT'S ALWAYS LATE ON APPLE JUICE, YOU ARE RIGHT, IT'S
LIQUID METH, WHICH YOU KNOW AT A MINIMUM IS TOXIC.
GET HIM HELP.
THAT'S WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY, IS THE LACK OF HUMANITY IN OUR
REACTION TO THIS.
THERE WAS A LOT OF LACK OF HUMANITY, AND I GET IT, WHAT HE
WAS DOING WAS WRONG, YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO SMUGGLE DRUGS, AND OF
COURSE BORDER CONTROL SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT
IMMEDIATELY.
BUT WHAT'S INSANE TO ME IS THAT WE HAD THIS HUGE INCREASE OF
HIRINGS IN THE BORDER PATROL, WITHOUT PROPER VETTING, IN THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT, IT IS A BIG PROBLEM.
AND THEY WERE NOT PUNISHED FOR THIS, THEY PAID THE LAWSUIT BUT
THEY DID NOT PUNISH THE OFFICERS.
