He should be locked up for plain stupidity................
Trying to sell them to one of the cartels? Here illegally?
Seen on CraigsLisp
Cartel involvement is a logical guess. There’ve been a number of reports lately of weapons and ammo being stolen, recovered, attempting to cross the border etc.
You’ve got to be pretty stupid to steal something as conspicuous as a military Humvee.
He’s taking the fall for something which I think would have required half a dozen guys.
Or Mexico. Either/or.
Is this guy a circus performer? I’d like to see the trick he used to drive 3 HUMVEES at the same time. 2 at a time, I can see, but 3 at once?
