But, um... the innocent bystander was in his own country, and had no duty to retreat when attacked, and in fact, had the right to use deadly force on his attacker (the CBP agents who fired on him), as you said:

The rock throwers got what they deserved.
So, what would your reaction have been had the innocent bystanders returned fire on the CBP agents and killed them all outright as soon as they fired on the Mexican shore?
