re: Marine being held in Mexican Prison

So, what happened was he lived in Florida and needed a change of scenery. He packed up everything he had and moved to San Diego where he knew a few people. He was having trouble adapting to society and the norms again so he figured moving would help. He was only in San Diego area for about a week and still had not completely unpacked everything. You know as an active marine he did not think much about the guns in his vehicle, also considering he is a southern man who grew up between TN and FL. Anyways he was receiving treatment for PTSD which was diagnosed as well. He parked legally and walked over to Tijuana, and then around 9pm that night he mistakenly drove the wrong way. There are barricades that prevented him from turning around, he told customs at the border station that he had guns legally purchased and needed to turn around. They contacted Mexican authorities and arrested him. At the prison in the general population they tied him down and tortured him, he tried to escape/kill himself in the process after about a month, then he was moved into solitary confinement. With the 911 tape it is obvious he was not trying to sell the guns or get drugs, etc. I don't care what his intentions were, we need to bring our marine, our US veteran who is still active duty, back to USA. If there is discipline to be had, we can deal with it. I'm sorry but he deserves better than this. Michelle Obama can't hashtag her way out of this one

I REALLY hope he let California know he entered it with his guns because if not that is a major felony right there......unless they weakened the gun laws there which would never happen!
