Makes you wonder when Mexican soldiers will be killing Americans on the U.S. side of the border.

The story amkes little sense, and it is clear that Mr. Proctor was no US tourist.
The real story is probably fairly complicated and probably reflects well on no one.

...found dead in his car. But, oh, he might have been a passenger. And maybe pigs can fly.

We have our answer from the Fathers comments, when he said his son complained about being asked for bribes.
This is every day common place in Mexico but they get pissed when you don’t pay.

I'm sure Bambi will be running to a mic with TOTUS in tow to get a statement out saying the Mexican Army acted “stupidly”. </sarc>

I'll go out on a limb here, and say the Mexican army committed armed robbery in the form of demanding a bribe, Joe couldn't pay, so they murdered him in cold blood and shot a few harmless holes in their own vehicles as cover up.

This is a simple cae. Army stops gringo. Army demands a bribe. Gringo refuses.Army shoots gringo, puts weapon in his hand and claims self defnce.
Many army units are corrupt, and likely this one is.
Alternately Gringo might have been working for a cartel, but the fact that he was alone goes against this possibility.
Stay out of Mexico. There is no safe place.

I’m sure obama will apologize soon and send them an aid package to replace the bullets they had to use on the arrogant American.

William Proctor said Joseph, 32, had lived off and on in Mexico for at least six years.
Why not move to Somalia?

Doesn't seem to be much difference does it?
Several years ago I was traveling with between Hermosillo and a couple of the copper mines with a Mexican Engineer. We were running late getting back to Hermosillo and it was freaking my Mexican Friend out big time. He was concerned that the “Federales” would have a roadblock and if we didn't have a payoff, they have been known to just shoot Nationals and Gringos traveling together.
Needless to say I was happy to get back to town and swore that was my last Tech Sales call in Mexico.

And William Proctor's AR15 had "Property of the Mexican Army" stamped on the receiver.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
