  • Marine crosses border into Mexico with guns, gets arrested.

    A judge has scheduled a new hearing for a U.S. Marine and Afghanistan war veteran who’s been held in a Mexican prison for nearly two months, a source said.


    I didn't see this posted anywhere, but wondering what you guys think about this?

    I'm really tired of hearing about these stories where innocent Americans are brutalized by the pathetic government of that country...I wish we could just bomb them all to hell and end the issue once and for all...but that will never happen.

      If those guns aren't California legal, and they let him go with them, he could very well get to do this dance all over again.

            I've never crossed the border on a road, I've always flown, but isn't there check points you go through? How do you accidentally cross it?

              I have gone into Mexico many times with guns in the car starting when I was 14 but have not done so in the past 20 years. Has it always been illegal or has the recent crack down on the cartels caused this?

                It's been illegal as long as you've been doing it.

                  meh, I think he honestly didnt mean to go through the border, and was looking for a turn-around, as he told 911.

                    That is what I was seeing on Fox also. Leaving a parking lot where he left his vehicle after walking across the border and spending the day....he passed the last U-Turn and traffic and barriers sent him through the boder crossing.

                      Its not like crossing the red river - you go through a big ass checkpoint. He thought he could get away with it and got caught.

                        In a recording of the call released by U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, the Marine appears unsure of whether he crossed the border and exasperated that Mexican authorities are trying to take his weapons.

                        "There's nothing I can help you with then, sir," the 911 dispatcher says after learning he's in Mexico. "I do apologize. You're not on American soil anymore."

                        Tahmooressi asks if authorities have a right to take his guns.

                        The dispatcher tells him he should have seen large warning signs on the freeway saying it's illegal to enter Mexico with guns.

                        "There are warning signs that do say that as you're driving down the freeway, before you enter Mexico," she says.

                        "Yeah, I was hoping there would be a turnaround point," he says, "but there never was."
                        You're telling me he didn't see this?

                        When the government pays, the government controls.

                          That is the new sign. The one that was photographed right after this incident is a steel sign resting against that same barrier on the ground. ABout the size of a speed limit sign. That new sign was put up in response to the media attention the story is getting.

                            It happened once or twice when I was stationed at Fort Bliss in the mid 90's. One was an MP that chased someone from an off post housing area. He was down there for several months before they released him.

                            I don't think that it is wrong or an abuse for Mexico to hold him. What do you think happens when a Mexican is caught bringing something illegal into the US?

                            I also find it kind of hard to believe he was not aware he was crossing over. If there is no U turn then just stop your damn car before driving into another country with firearms.
