Thanks be to God. I hope he was healed of the trauma that the war has brought upon him. God works in mysterious ways.

With all due respect to the Marine, I can not even imagine going to mexico and even less so with anything they might consider jailing one for.

There are places you just don’t go unless it is for battle.

Evidently it took over four months for Mexican leadership to scrape together enough functioning brain cells to determine you don’t declare a weapon to authorities, if you have evil plans, or are doing anything other than what you think you are required to do by the letter of the law.

Confiscate the gun. Expel the individual. Hash the ownership out over time. Don’t imprison the guy for four months.

Talk about stupider than a jumping bean...

This may have had something to do with it: Mexico threatened with travel boycott until veteran freed

Hit them in the pocketbook.

Gotta give FoxNews some kudos on this.

They’ve been pushing it hard and I doubt the lefty media would have even glanced at a Marine carrying a weapon into a foreign country—other than maybe applauding his arrest.

Many US citizens are jailed in Mexico every year for firearms violations. The Mexicans will arrest for even minor things like parts to firearms or ammunition, very fanatical. This is well known on the border and the crossing near me has huge signs warning everyone headed to the border. My cousin guided hunters on hunts in Mexico for 40 years, had all the proper paperwork for firearms- was arrested on one trip anyway. My cousin knew some important people in Mexico and was released in 4 days- he decided to never return to Mexico. Having the right paperwork for one group does not mean other officials will recognize it. Mexico really is a third world country.

At the mercy of Mexican authorities there is no common sense to any part of the process.

Doiint business in Mexico has serious consequences, too. Investing in Mexican property carries unexpcted prices.

I’m not convinced that der Fuehrer had much to do with this. I think the driving force was the group of congressmen who were pushing a campaign to kill off the flow of American tourists to the third world craphole called mexico.

Must have been Whoraldo’s passionate plea this morning on Fox News that made it happen.

It seems to have taken a Mexican judge, rather then an impotent State Department.

Of course, the SD couldn’t do anything, as their leader was home sick in bed with a concussion and a bad cold.
