Caravan-related violence in U.S.reported

The first major incident of caravan/migrant-related violence occurred Saturday when a Honduran man threw rocks at Border Patrol agents in an attempt to avoid being arrested in Arizona.

The 31-year-old, whom authorities didn’t name, climbed a tree in an attempt to avoid capture, then the idiot lit the tree on fire and began to throw rocks at the agents and a helicopter called in to help track him.

Neither the agents nor the helicopter were hit by the projectiles because it's hard being accurate when you're stuck in a tree.

The man was soon arrested, and agents said he admitted he was part of the migrant caravan that had been in the news. Law enforcement said he had previous arrests in the U.S. and had been deported in June.

A local fire department was called in to extinguish the tree fire.

Homeland Security officials estimate that about 10,500 caravan migrants have been massing on the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexican border in the past weeks.

While the liberal press shows mostly images of the caravan's women and children, U.S. authorities say a majority of members are single adults, predominantly men, from Central America. That implies the Honduran rock-throwing, tree-burning claims of caravan membership plausible.

President Trump last month had specifically warned of the danger of rock-throwing by caravan members, and had said agents should treat rock-throwers as if they were using firearms. Fortunately for this uninformed cretin, nobody used lethal force.

Indeed, rock-throwing, or “rocking” incidents, as they’re known to agents, can be violent encounters, often involving small boulders hefted at agents or their vehicles with enough force to shatter bones or dent trucks.

U.S. officials have been worried about caravan-related violence since watching thousands of people bust through Mexico’s southern border, scrapping with Mexican police who’d been sent to the border in an effort to prevent them from entering.

It’s not known why the Honduran man broke off from the rest of the caravans to attempt to enter on his own. Maybe he simply needed to wiz and got separated from the pack.
