Marine jailed in Mexico

[DallasSleeper]

If he had a Muslim last name I bet he would be out within 24 hours

This started in AUGUST?

If I had a family member in the same situation there would be calls to state and federal congress-critters that day as well as any and all media that would listen\report on the situation.

The best thing is to just stay the hell out of Mexico. I see NO to EVER go there. If you want to see that, go to Wal Mart.

The border area seems to pretty much suck, but further into the country maybe not so much. My current opinion of border-town Mexico is well represented by the neighborhood that looks like it was built on a trash dump across the Rio from the ASARCO stacks in El Paso.

You take 1 shotgun to Mexico, you get prison. You send in hundreds? Calderone comes and has dinner with you

[Gtracer]

I hope that we get him out. If not, I sure hope he takes a few of those bastards with him on the way out...fucking cartels deserve to taste their own balls before looking into the eyes of the man about to kill them...

But in all honesty, I see that he is trying to play the game, stay alive as long as possible which leaves me to believe that he still has reason for hope.

[Shorty]

Maybe Obama will trade them some guns for his release. Get Eric Holder on the phone!

[Forever_frost]

Oh, I'm not saying we shouldn't send in a team and go get his ass. I'm saying he acted stupidly to quote the douche in chief.

I tell you one fucking thing.....had this man been in my platoon I know a mexican jail that would have been overrun by Marines.

This

Right, wrong, no difference in my eyes as the crime does not deserve the punishment. I also like the fact that this is the second instance in a year where our boarder patrol agents have "okay'd" something when it was not "okay'd" on the other side.

If an authoritive figure tells me to do something that does not appear to be "mass murder" or otherwise questionable acts then I would assume it safe to follow. This guy was military, agent tells him okay, I would feel safe as well.

None the less, the agents should take responsibility for waiving him through as well. This guy does not deserve to be in a prison for at least 15years while American Citizens (his family) are being threatened by the cartels sitting in a prison 2000 miles away, in another country. Does not make sense how our government is not standing behind its citizens and yet only a few people see this.

Fuck politics, this is a mans life which he has put on the line for us to have the freedom to sit here and talk about how shitty our POTUS is and how this countries morals and ethics are circling the drain...


Well, I feel better now...sorry I guess I had more to say than I thought

I see several valid points, I guess I am just feeling for the guy you know.

This shit with Mexico is about to come to a head. It seems more and more they are turning their nose to us while we are still providing handouts. But, I am just beating a dead horse.

Mexico is a shithole

He traveled over land with a shotgun to Mexico. Stupid move, possibly deadly stupid. If he was going surfing, why take a 12ga?

I saw this on the news the other morning. They were saying that he was taking the shotgun to Costa Rica or someplace like that. He even filed all of the proper papers to do so too but when he approached the border, they didn't give a shit.

I hope this doesn't end bad for the soldier. It would be nice if our guys could swoop in and get him out of there but at the end of the day, we have to use our own common sense. It's fucking Mexico, everyone should know you don't attempt to take guns across. Even though he attempted to file all the proper papers, it's still fucking Mexico.

Some family friends that own a gun shop in SETX went through this drama back in the 90's. The father and son went into Mexico and when their vehicle was being searched, they found 2 empty shell casings under the seat and that was enough to throw them in jail. I know it took months and lots of $$$$ to get back across.
