What happened? What did he do? Is he a victim of crime? Or did he get trouble?
He entered a us highway heading south toward the Mexican border. The road design there is criminally idiotic. There was literally no way for him to make a u-turn to keep from crossing into Mexico. So he crossed the border and at the border station, immediately turned around to cross back to the US. When authorities at the Mexican border-crossing asked him the routine border questions, he volunteered that he'd made a wrong turn and was returning immediately to the US. He also volunteered he had a gun in his possession. Apparently that is illegal in Mexico. So he was arrested, beaten, chained naked to a bed in a cell, jailed in life-threatening group containment, and remains in jail there to this day . . . for nothing. Obama has given the impression of not giving a shite.

Exactly. Greta just drove that exact route. There was no way for him to turn around. It's not like he was trying to smuggle guns.

And he is being tortured in a Mexican prison. This is sickening.

oh boo fricking hoo.

This moron managed to "accidently" cross into mexico. I lived in San Diego It's damn hard to do.

He was armed to the teeth with 3 guns and 400 rounds of ammo.

It has zip to do with him being a marine and plenty to do with him being an idiot.

But hey, any chance to bitch about obama right?

The fact it's hard to live in San Diego is irrelevant. He wasn't trying to leave.

He has a hearing on the 9th and I hope he's being honest. Because, if Mexican authorities have substantial evidence of deception, he is going to be in deep doo-doo. If they don't, I believe BO has been very negligent in regard to helping with his release.

I agree it's pretty hard to accidentally drive into Mexico. I mean he couldn't like pull over on the side of the road while he was still in the US? Plus didn't he first have to drive through US border control before he met with Mexican border patrol? That's the way it works when you drive into Windsor from Detroit. You first have to stop and talk to US border before you enter Canada.

Plus what the hell was he doing with three guns and 400 rounds of ammo driving toward Mexico.

When that Mexican army copter crossed our border and opened fire "accidently" a few weeks back, the next morning Obama should have been on record saying "have our marine back on our soil within 24 hours."

He was in the process of moving. But what gets my attention is this: Why would he take a detour to Mexico at all? He had already entered while leaving his truck on the American side. It's after he "accidentally" crossed back over in his truck that he gets questioned. Who can say for certain what actually happened at this point, however, he better be damned sure that he's telling the truth because if he in fact is hiding something and Mexican authorities can prove that he is, he could be in deep trouble.

NO ! That is the point Ralph. The lanes have concrete barriers on each side, dividing each lane. It is asinine.

That was the purpose of this thread. I wanted to see if anyone knew more than what I was seeing on TV. There is usually more to it.

But the way he has been treated is inexcusable.

He was moving. He had all of his belongings with him. He was honest and told them that he made a mistake.

It's a good thing that we don't treat people crossing the border illegally from Mexico into the US this way.
you think we just send such people on their way if they arrive with weapons?

Do we strip them naked, tie them to a bed post standing, beat them with baseball bats, break their jaws, etc?

Please tell me when this has happened in this country.
