Yup, no question about it.If anyone want to know if our country is heading in the right direction....it's not.
At least the Boy Scouts have leaders.
Notice how every time a reporter quotes someone and they take heat for what they said all of a sudden it's the reporter's fault?
So are you going to call him?
I got this reply from his boss, Robert Hopper:
Mr. H....,
You have seen the news story concerning Troop 111’s recent trip to Alaska and an incident that occurred as they were crossing the border from Canada into that state. Unfortunately, the story has created significant misunderstanding as comments made by Charles Vonderheid, our council’s Director of Field Service were misrepresented. Indeed, every time I speak to a news reporter I wonder, “How will I be portrayed?”
I couldn’t agree more that the actions taken by Customs & Border Patrol, as described by Jim Fox, Troop 111’s Scoutmaster, were extreme. What harm was made by a Scout taking a photograph? It sure doesn’t seem like much.
A seconds long “sound bite” on the news can lead to misunderstanding – this one certainly did. Jim is to be congratulated for a great trip. In every way Troop 111’s Alaska adventure was a huge success and we’re glad they’re home.

A Congressional Investigation would be the about the best/easiest route. All the boy scout parents and scout leaders involved need to write their congress representatives and ask them what the heck is going on that we have border patrol agents pointing guns at boy scouts for taking a photo that would be pretty normal for an uniformed tourist to take to document their trip. A lot of times we (the Navy) has to answer to some senator or representative why a Sailor was promised they would be an elecrician in the Navy by a recruiter and they ended up being a mechanic.If it were my son I would be on the phone with my lawyer first, then my congressman. I'd call the border patrol supervisor every day until that idiot was fired. That's absolute ********.
I disagree. There is quite literally NOTHING that a Federal employee can do to an innocent citizen these days which will cause him any permanent harm. They could have SHOT the kid and Holder's DoJ would drag their feet for YEARS, avoiding a real investigation at ALL cost. They didn't care what happened to a Border Patrol agent. You think they care about Boy Scouts?A Congressional Investigation would be the about the best/easiest route.
