#NationalGuard #Helicopter #Texas
Was the pilot White or Black ?
What does that prove?
Your not a patriot
@@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300 And ‘you’re’ not intelligent.
Your ignorance is disappointing. You don’t know any better
Probably black since it caught fire.
Investigate. I hate riding in them.
I sure hope president biden’s rage don’t create him to have a stroke. That would be horrible just horrible. we might get stuck with *Orange man bad* again and we know good things were then
🤪
Biden is fit as a fiddle. Diaper Donald Skunk’s veins are oozing hamberders.
You can’t possibly think you’re the good guys
YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE -??
You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
In life I loved you completely
In death I love you still.
I hold a place in my heart
That only you can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you
But I know you’re not alone.
A part of me left with you
On the day life called you home.

0:19 Bad interviewer putting words in the eyewitness’s mouth. He didn’t say the helicopter fell like a rock, she did. He described loss of tail rotor effectiveness, she described a made up cartoon. 😐
We lost more service members in simple air training or patrols what’s going on ?
What’s this “we” stuff Russian?
Outdated equipment
The military promotes based on incompetence. The good get out and take all the skills with them.
Sabotage
like everywhere else :diversity hires, the actually talented one leaving seeing this, and probably a huge budget cut making them use crappy parts intead of military parts because as you know, everything we use is made to break and has a military version that is unbreakable BUT costs 10 times more
It was shot down. But you will never hear that. They will blame it on something mechanical
Did you shoot it down? Or you just know who did?
@@rayray8687 its not a secret from local Eye Witnesses. Hard to not see the gun fire. 🤡🤡 sheep away soyboy
Very likely the Texas Rangers shot it down
Abbot did it, blood on his hands.
The two National Guards on board could’ve been home living their lives.
Plus, that Border Patrol agent wouldn’t have been there either.
Except that Abbott needlessly set these dominoes in motion, and so it is his fault.
I assume that Mexicans did it
yes because he shot down the helicopter right
@@nightkrieg
Yeap, he used a bazooka mounted to his wheeli chair. 😃👌
Thank you for your very possibly true conspiracy theory.
It perfectly aligns with Reich Wing rhetoric.
It’s the chef’s kiss.
I’ll give you an upvote for it! 🤗
Of course, Biden had nothing to do with it either@@elram2649

American manufacturing!
If you are a Democrat, it’s Trump’s fault, and if you are a Republican, it’s Biden’s fault. If you are an independent, it’s the fault of the failed two party system.
Since the early 1990’s the American way is to find the cheapest labor possible, give them a nice fancy title like “Manager” or Corporal or Lieutenant, then give them the least amount of training possible in order to do their jobs, while the people at the top sit back, collect all the rewards for the good stuff going on, can blame all the bad stuff on the disgruntled, former employee(s) and then give out thoughts and prayers when the worst happens.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Plenty of ignorant ‘volunteers’ that think they’re making a difference.
greed. CEOs trying to get richer don’t really care about the product
Thanks Biden. RIP
The man said it spun in circles. Rotor stopped working.
Joe’s fault.
Their blood is on your hands and anyone else who thought sending a bunch of poorly trained children to play soldier was a good idea 😂
My question did the cartels shoot it down if so is that an act of war?
The US is losing in Ukraine. I don’t think it wants another war
Not all Mexicans in Mexico are drug dealers lol
Mexico wouldn’t allow U.S. troops in its territory.
Texas shot it down, they are at war with the US currently
The farmers’ description sounds like a loss of tail rotor authority.
6 helicopters 5 planes bunch more that wasnt reported
Lakotas (as in this crash) are quite old an out of regular Army service. Ospreys are just death traps.
This is why we should not be patrolling the border.
My condolences to the families of the National Guard soldiers.
And the border patrol agent
And maybe the Homeland Security agent?
@publicuser2534 Nah. CBP and ICE get no love. In their case, it’s just a good start. 🤷🏽♂️
@@Parasclepius my pop was an ICE agent for 20+ years. I never have asked him how politics affected his job. Tough gig though.
Abbott is responsible
😂😂😂😂 do explain
Biden is responsible for
@@alexandrade7835 national guard in Texas is Abbott gestapo. So they were probably flying black ops for abbot drug traffic ring
I can’t respond because YouTube is super sensitive when it comes to criticism against Biden. Smh.
I think you misspelled ‘Biden.’ It’s ok not everyone si smart enough to graduate kindergarden.
Trump said illegals brought it down.
To every Conservative Democrat, Liberal and Republican Constituent, let me be Crystal Clear! What we’re seeing from the Radical Left Democrats and RINO’s in our government, the Denial of Accountability and all the Crimes and Corruption that’s Brazenly out in the open, why do you think they don’t care if they hide it? One answer and let me be Clear. Because these Politicians know that there will be an Attempt to flip this Country to a Communist One Party Rule, the Uni-Party and those who have been Compromised are accumulating as much Wealth for themselves as possible, because if they are successful in their Attempt in changing our political landscape they will not have to answer for all the Crimes and Money they’ve stole from the Citizens of this Country.
Wake Up, America!

WE MUST LISTEN TO THE PALESTINIANS OURSELVES….HEAR WHAT THEY SAY…https://youtu.be/svIa02N6JUo?si=O6itz834_MCi0eHS
Maybe a deeper inspection of these Helicopters should be ensued?
Was looking for some 1 to say this thought I was tripping How many of these stories have we heard in the last few months something is going on with those choppers.
National Guard. One weekend a month, two weeks a year. Not much time for adequate training. Then thrown into the fire of a border crisis….not cool all the way round. I wonder if they were part of an out of state Guard unit.
National guard pilots are usually pilots in their regular lives. When you are a military pilot the training is based on flight hours. There are no inexperienced pilots given US aircraft to fly. And they’d certainly never give a person only 3 weeks of flight time per year. That’s a stupid opinion you have
@@zavdon242just remember the federal government is unofficially at war with Texas because they are refusing to open their boarders even though the courts and the Biden admin are trying to
@@zavdon242first 3 people dying then 3 consecutive fires starting in Texas at once making it the largest fire in the USs history now yu have biarder patrol memebers dyin in Texas. They are at war w Texas the government is and that’s my opinion
If the helicopter was up and involved in chasing an American citizen I’m sure the citizen would of been charged with their passing
Thank Biden, they wouldn’t be there is it wasn’t for him
you bots are hilarious
you don’t like the truth@@meltedcheesy
Its election year, they are there to make it look like a huge problem that Biden has caused. Republicans won’t accept a border deal as it makes Biden look bad.
Maybe you should heed your own words.@@people744
ok Russian
@@people744what open border? Border patrol and a wall is already there.
Thank you for your service to help to save our country. May you rest in Peace. My very deepest condolences to their families and friend’s.
ET attacks
Sounds like tail rudder busted.
War with russia notice how many plans going down 😮😮😮
If you were a cartell member and making $20,000/day smuggling ill-eagles, you could definitely afford a $20,000 drone to fly into a helicopters rotary to hide your operation. Is it possible? Open border have made the cartells rich and powerful.
What does cartel have to do with this?
@@AC-te9dr there could be many things.
From all the money being sent overseas and the military not having enough to do daily checkups
Or the dei hiring and lowering the standards so they can accommodate less qualified people in sake of diversity
Firing experience personel because of vaccine or theres to many whites
And it could be the cartels. They are loosing money once texas activated the national guard.
The cartels are not far off to be suspects of this.
Cant. You see what is happening at the border?
I have reposts from a friend in the guard this is what happened.
Bruh if the border were open the cartel wouldn’t make any money 😂
Of course it happened in Texas under Gov. Abbott’s toxic leadership. Send the border bill to the President! Republicans need to stop this nonsense!
Delusional dem
its insane how many military/government HELOs go down
War with russia 😂😂😂 pay attention
Don’t worry about it Russian
gotta spend $1 trillion every year somehow or you lose the budget money.
@bobwoods1302 I’m here in the states, just call it like it is plz take another booster 🙏
@bobwoods1302 I’m here just call it like I see it don’t care this is the Indians land bech
Guarantee you….the Cartels shot it down 😠😠
Guarantee you the Texas Rangers shot it down. The helicopter was federal
Texas shot it down. They are at war with the US currently
It was Texas
It was Texas who brought it down
😂😂😂 “the migrant hunter” wow you’re just a loser huh?
i bet a small cartel drone flew into the rotor and disabled it
You don’t know any better.
@@AC-te9dr you are defending a lot the cartels. Are you one of them?? You sound like you are
God I wish we lived in the reality you dream of daily lol
believe me , I live on the border. the last thing the cartels want is to pick a fight with the U.S. Govt.
*IT WAS ME BARRY!*
It was shot at.
It was old
Parts from China 😮
Drones given to Ukraine that magically found their way into cartel hands.
This Lakota UH 72 has a history of being a crap. Read an article about this from Nov 9 2007. If people speculate about immigrants shooting down this European crap with a rock, I will believe them.
At this point we’re gonna lose the war to a bunch of helicopters 🤦♂️
What war?
@@AC-te9drinternal war
@@AC-te9dr the one against life
ONLY IN TEXAS… HATING ON IMMIGRANTS GOT THEM KILLED
Whatevs hatful leftist view,your the problem with America
All Biden. All on Biden.
Please, enlighten me?
😂😂😂 like yall didn’t all jump to send people out when everybody told you this was exactly what was going to happen 😂😂😂
It was shot down by Iranian-Mexicans using a smuggled Chinese MPAD.
In your dreams. Cant trust you conservatives, always creating false narratives
If president Biden had done anything about the border when he started his presidency they would still probably be alive.
A fluke accident.
tail rotor
Blame Gov. Abbott for this.
I blame Biden
Delusional leftist
And Mike Johnson
Your comment makes absolutely zero sense.
I blame biden.
Would this plane have had to take off if these migrants weren’t coming here “ the question lies to be answered.
what a sick country
Obama’s legacy.
In all your comments you keep saying America is a sick country all because of your views and Palestine
You’re sick because you have the absolutely no empathy for the people that died in this helicopter crash that were just serving their duty
@@GarrettGuerrawhy would I feel sorry for them? They’re occupying my home for political points, tell them to leave, I can defend myself

@@mow4ncry Kings or Warriors?
I think you got it confused 🤔
Mark 6 vese 12 and 13
I have reports from the TX National that the helicopter was downed by a cartel drone or advanced military make, a drone that will likely be linked back to Ukraine misappropriations.
Its okay guys the border patrol officer that was killed was of (Mexican-“American”) decent. His parents were probably here illegally.
The description says, “Killed”. Who killed them?
The helicopter

Sabotage!
Blame Abbott
How many states sent National Guard troops again?
@@publicuser2534 they should not be there and these lawsuit wins keep proving it. Same Bible belt sent them only because of Abbott
Are you serious ? You see what’s going on in New York today
@@codegaming_yt7704 I see that Abbott concentrated thousands of migrates who would naturally scatter into thousands of cities. I see how nothing is checked going in to Mexico so why should Mexican government help us with drug or immigration problems when it’s our guns giving the cartels the power they have. And I see a manipulation bias . Tell me how I’m wrong!!!!???
You pathetic stalkers I swear. Stop reporting me like cowards
Helicopters are hard to fly. It takes a skill Pilot to flight it properly. We are losing so many people over helicopters crashes. 😢
Why are all the choppers crashing?!
Women really dont need to be pilots.
and you wonder why you’ll never feel the loving touch of a woman.
So serious 😢
Why he do like that?
I know what they did. My brothers middle name is Wesley. His wife Allison works at Vanderbilt. On the day I was denied access to go to the dentist, they sent a dollar in the mail from Vandy. Mom said I could have it. I rejected it. She opened it and left it on the stairs. Witchcraft
All because of a maga clown circus
New Colors New Colors New Updates😮😮
Democrats are the SHAME America bears. Wokes cannot defend, denial is their strength.
Democrats are the SHAME America bears, a deliberate border Invasion, a swindling of Americas future, a repeated election interference, Misinformation super spreading Corporate trash….
Joe Biden, this one is on you. You insist on America to give billions to your war efforts in Europe before you even look toward our own border war. You are outta here in 8 months.
That helicopter was probably built during the Vietnam war
lollllll karma.
Not much time to react in a helicopter, sounds like a tail rotor malfunction if it was spinning. I survived a crash in a Cobra in Viet Nam, shot down with no tail rotor, we were nearly killed. I feel for their families. R.I.P.

That’s why national guard shouldn’t be at the border….the border is protected by border agents which is federal law….this is what happens when politicians create stunts for political gain.

My deepest condolences 💐💔💔💔😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I don’t know why they were out there flying around in the first place it isn’t like they’re doing their jobs and stopping these illegal immigrants from flooding America
New york is giving these non american citizens $10,000 a month, yet they do the bare minimum for american citizens smh and the american government is also doing more for these illegal immigrants than they do for our own citizens
So u did nothing for years and now that its election time its an issue?
They were messing with Casey on board
My theory is there’s some sort of technology interfering? If I remember correctly there’s been a couple military helicopter crashes in the last couple of years including police helicoptors.
It was shot down or they hit it with a emp
I like how Biden apologized to the illegal alien who killed an innocent kid and said he should call them newcomer’s not illegals smh. Yeah who voted for that?
