Seal the border.
So she just left him?
According to her story she tried to pick him up onto her jet ski but the pirates were continuing to shoot at her so she had to abandon the effort and run for her life.
I used to work with a woman who went to school with him. She said he went by the name "Gerry Rivers" in school.
It’s Whorealdo, not Geraldo.
She got into the water and tried to pull him up on her ski, but she couldn't do it. He was a big man. In the mean time bullets were whizzing around her so she took off. What would you do?

Mexican Police Official Investigating
Border Lake Shooting Found Dead

Mexican Drug Cartel Sends Severed Head to
Mexican Army and Message to Obama Administration
AUSTIN, Texas — The severed head of the lead
Mexican investigator looking into the murder of
an American citizen while jet-skiing on Lake Falcon,
was sent to Mexican authorities today. Bearing
all the marks of a Mexican drug cartel message of
intimidation, the severed head sends a message
both to any Mexican officials with thoughts of
taking on corruption in Mexican government, and
the Obama administration and its hands off policy
regarding criminal activity and violence along the
U.S. - Mexico border.
Seal the border.
Both ways and they wouldn’t have been on the Mexican side sight seeing and taking pictures. Reckon if the border was closed to commercial traffic that the Mexican gov’t could find a way to help halt illegals and dope from coming this way?
Can’t be right, the media was hinting the wife was guilty.....
FRiend, have you ever tried to lift the dead weight of a body out of the water and onto a Jet Ski, while you are in fear of losing your own life?
I’ve had to lift dead bodies into boats... it’s not easy and at the time, I was a very strong man being helped by at least one other guy.
She had no choice but to leave him.
Yes. Unfortunately.
I stand corrected. ;>)
No. She actually tried to get his body (about 250 lb. to her 125) onto her jet ski and failed, as shown by traces of his blood on her life vest. If you're curious about my estimates of their weight differnce, look at their pictures, on which I base my estimate.
>> Sounds as if the U.N. has already been there!!
How can you say that, was somebody raped?
Is today Tuesday?
Severed Head of Official Investigating Murdered American Jet-Skier Delivered to Mexican Military In a Suitcase
A horse chip by any other name....
“Its a failed state. Time to send in the UN”
Yeah. . .like that’s gonna do anything.
(I guess you can tell I don’t think much of the UN. . . )
Wasn’t it just yesterday we were being preached to about how drug use is a ‘victimless crime?’
I hate to agree with the Mexican govt about anything, but we DO have to control drug use in the USA. Its consumption is feeding this level of violent crime.
