A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.

Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.

It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.

According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.

    America sucks. We are a gold plated garbage country of sociopathic owners and battered spouse peasants.

    That said, no one wants to fuck with the war machine we maintain in lieu of funding the well-being of our society.

    For context, there are 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers on Earth, arguably the most potent Warfare platform Mankind has ever developed.

    10 of those 11 are American. France has 1. Our supposed greatest threats are still rocking diesel powered junk.
