Man Tried to Hang Himself… on Border Fence

The 27 year old man from Mexico apparently thought dying was better than living in his homeland.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent near 1st Street saw the man scaling the fence with a rope on the Mexico side about 7 p.m. As the agent approached, the man wrapped the rope around his neck, hanging himself on the U.S. side of the fence, Border Patrol Agent Eduardo Jacobo said.

The agent grabbed the man by his legs, elevating him to release the pressure around his neck, until another agent arrived to help, a Border Patrol news release said. At some point, the rope came loose and the agents lowered the man to the ground.

The man wasn’t breathing and was unresponsive, the release said. An agent was able to revive him.

The man, identified only as a citizen of Mexico, was taken by ambulance to Calexico Regional Medical Center for evaluation.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
