FOXNews.com posters hyper-racist reactions to Border Patrol shootings
It started here: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06/09/mexico-tensions-heightened-border-patrol-agent-kills-mexican-teen-near-el-paso/

The background case involved a contentious arrest of illegals/suspected illegals at the Mexican border and during the arrest several Mexican citizens started throwing rocks at the officers. The officers returned fire and shot a 15-year old. There is some contentious facts in the case, like the placement of the cartridge and whether or not the FBI crossed into Mexican territory and was threatened by Mexican Federales. Instead of analyzing the situation and determining what solutions are available (like DU posters), FOX News posters immediately and unequivocally dive head-first into racist rhetoric, which if applied to the situation in real-time, would lead to open warfare with Mexico.

Here's a sample.

I still say we should lay down a mine field on our side of the border . . . . PROBLEM SOLVED! Another benefit is that they'll They'll discover the advantages of learning English real quick!

What's the big deal? Cap a few more and it might help cut down on the traffic!!!
-----
Video shows us to be in the right- we do not use .40 cal weapons- they are lying and sensationalizing this killing of this illegal smuggler. Mexi's are racist thugs - animals that need to be kept on their property! Get out and stay out!!! And take the liberals with you!
------
let's take over mexico and throw out the mexicans. they don't want to live there because they keep coming here and their military can't do anything to stop us since never in history has their military ever done anything. They did not participate in WWI or WWII. He!! a bunch of farmers & ranchers from Texas defeated their military to gain Texas' independance. They have a perfectly good country and they are too stupid to do anything with it. If the citizens of mexico don't like their living conditions why don't they overthrow their corrupt gov't. Come on mexicans, show a little back bone and fix your own screwed up country!
-----
Mybe Mexico should keep their "migrants" south of our border. I am soooooo tired of Mexicans bawling about how American guns are killing Mexican people... When in fact, Mexican people are killing Mexican people. Maybe this incident will remind them that WE DO NOT WANT THEM HERE!
------
HAY DUMBY DON'T BRING A ROCK TO A GUN FIGHT IF THE MEXICAN WANT TO PLAY ROUGH HUH SOUNDS LIKE A TIME TO RETHINK MAYBE THEY REALLY DO WANT TO REMEMBER THE ALAMO
------
BUILD THE WALL ALREADY. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ALL YOU SCUMSUCKING DEMOCATS STILL WANT AMNESTY FROM THE VERMIN DOWN SOUTH NOTHING MORE THAN FOR VOTES. YOU KNOW 10 MILLION ILLEGALS VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SHOW U.S. I.D. TO VOTE. I HOPE ALL YOU LAZY AMERICANS GET OFF YOUR A** AND VOTE OUT THE TRASH IN OUR GOVERNMENT. CHAIRMAN OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES NEED TO GO.
-----
Ashes to ashes dust to dust another illegal bites the dust.


And it goes on and on for 14+ pages. FoxNews.com is a hotbed of anti-everybody beliefs and straight-out-of-the-1920s level racism. The reporting reflects this and feeds off it.
