Yes it's outrageous, but why compare this to Europe? Hidalgo County is right on the border, and if this would've happened just a few miles south (in Mexico) it wouldn't be too far out of the ordinary. Some parts of the US seem to operate a lot more like our neighbor to the south than like the ones across the pond.
