Re "Have you been faced by a mob wanting your death, trying to break through the border to achieve just that; by burning tyres; by balloons blowing your way designed to set you on fire; with your vision partially obscured by thick smoke?"
10 and 14 year old boys? I have a couple, they can be rascals.
Re "10 and 15-year-olds? We know they’re old enough to serially rape a 5-year-old (as reported today)...why not burn tyres?"
Sorry, with the 2 boys that got shot are you suggesting they had committed rape as well as burning a tire? Do the soldiers only shoot them if they believe they're capable of rape. I think I'd understand more if that was the case, but how do they tell?
