I don’t quite get why our Marine was convinced he could carry south of the border, given a sign like that. Who would risk it, even when given an okay by some dolt, with a sign like that? I can’t imagine a Marine making that kind of decision.
Of course I want this man home, as in yesterday, and after all that we do for Mexican aliens breaking our laws, there is no excuse for Mexico, but this catastrophe was completely predictable and the outcome guaranteed. The sign said it all. Stooopid.
I know a guy that got caught with a few .22LR rounds rolling around in his truck in the early 80’s in Mexico (no gun) He didn’t even know they were there.
Well, he is lucky he was able to pay them off.
The story I heard was that it was his grandfather’s antique shotgun and he checked with the US Border Patrol on our side of the border before he crossed. They assured him it was OK.
It really sticks in my craw that we have millions of illegal Mexicans breaking our laws in plain view everyday and the Mexican government treats ONE GUY like this.
