I don’t believe anything coming from mexican army

[brivette]

dead man speaks?

[mrmeyer]

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

[wideawake]

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.

[RWGinger]

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.

[ladyvet]

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>

[manc]

funny how this is not all over the so called press here now imagine if we had full time soldiers on patrol and they shot a Mexican . Yes I’m sure the so called bias press would not cover it either

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.

[Doe Eyes]

Was he a migrant?

[SwinneySwitch]

Ping!

If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

[driftdiver]

Did he work for a gun show?

[Candor7]

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.

[barmag25]

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?

[reagan_fanatic]

"We no demand bribe, si? Gringo attacked us - honest!"

[The Comedian]

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.

[PowderMonkey]

"Forget about it, Jake. It's Chinatown."


Lived there. Have family still there. Nobody leaves the house without sufficient bribe money. Get stopped by the local cops on a Saturday night to pick up your date? Pay 'em off and go straight home. Game over. Mexico City alone has over 20 different kinds of LEOs. All of them employ the "catch and kill" policy.

[GladesGuru]

Mexico has strict anti=gun laws. There is no way an American would have a legal AR-15 or any other military weapon in Messico.

Unless the deceased was part of an attack, the released story is just despicable.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I never believe anything coming from that Third World Latrine Pit called Mexico
