Featured Mexican Judge to Sgt. Tahmooressi: You're out of here!

So the reason he lied is because someone told him to. That excuse wouldn't work with my kids and it doesn't work here.

The hotel wasn't nice enough? What if it was nice enough? Was he then going to drive his car with all his stuff across the border, or continue to leave 3 weapons and 600 rounds of ammo in an unattended vehicle?

All your proof is just multiple sources reporting what he has said. No corroborating evidence.

If this was a Mexican bringing weapons into the US, your story would be completely different. You look at this story through military colored glasses. I'd this guy wasn't ex-military, you wouldn't care.

 

He ain't your kid. He ain't my kid. Though I don't know him, I would probably say he ain't saved. You wanna hold him to your standards, that's YOUR issue, not an indicator of wrong-doing.

Apparently, he originally planned to leave it on the U.S. side unattended. No one knew there were guns in it until he told the Mexican authorities.

You miss the most important part of what you said: more importantly than "no corroborating evidence" is "no supporting evidence of wrong-doing."

You've declared him guilty with NO evidence whatsoever. What does that say about YOU?

(sigh) You should really look up the definition of "conjecture."

See, here's something else you can't prove: If that were actually true, then you could point us to some of the threads here where I participated in and said exactly what you just said I would do.

We'll wait. Feel free to provide the links to the discussions.

You have a reading comprehension problem, Matt. Go back to my post just before your last response, and read about my missionary friend Jerry. Then come back and see if you think your statement is still valid.

 

I can agree with that statement. But he realized his mistake in listening to him, fired him, and came clean, right?

He would have stayed there, presumably, leaving his stuff in the car. As Don said, he was living out of his vehicle. He would have left them in there regardless of where he stayed the night.

The same as your suppositions of his character. You don't know what he was thinking.

Not mine. Detain and deport with seizure. Which should have happened to him. And it shouldn't have taken that long. 48 hours max in my opinion, unless it happened on a weekend.

Where's your corroborating evidence for this declaration?

Sounds to me to be a simple matter. He was going to stay in the hotel, and decided not to. When driving away from the border, he made a wrong turn into the border. He was then searched and the weapons found, even though he just wanted to turn around. Occam's razor.

 

If lying was a good reason to keep someone in jail, I know some politicians who would have life sentences, starting with the liar-in-chief.

Mexicans don't need to bring guns into this country. They come into this country to get them from the the Obama injustice department to take back to Mexico.

Mexican authorities turn a blind eye to those. The Marine's real crime was not having enough money to bribe his arresting officers and their bosses.

You're right, he ought to get a life sentence.

 

You continue to illustrate my point when you make this into a military issue when this is an issue about someone breaking the law not a military issue.

 

Oh and Salty..please answer the question:

Do you believe the people that have served in the military should get special treatment when they break the law?

 

I reckon this E-5 made a poor decision and would have been lit up and busted by his platoon daddy had he done this in my unit. Coming from a guy who has walked in the boots of a GI. Soldiers are briefed on what is acceptable in the area when they report in. What to do, what not to do. This incident has created all of this commotion for an easily avoidable arrest. The situation could have been resolved long ago had he not tried an escape attempt or attempted suicide. These crossing events are actually common and usually don't take that long to resolve. Sgt. Tahmooressi decided to make his life harder by not cooperating and crossing the border with an AR-15 (basically equal to an M-4 carbine) which is a military firearm. Mexico takes a strong stance on military grade weapons for obvious reasons. I'm glad the young man is home though as he obviously has some personal demons to sort through.

 

Psychoanalyze? What are you talking about, he actually does have PTSD. Are you even following this story or just posting blindly. His PTSD is well documented and was actually the motivator that got him released so he could get treatment. He tried to commit suicide in prison for crying out loud. I expressed a sentiment that I hope he can be treated for it and you want to attack me over that? Get a grip.

Here, I'll even use FoxNews so you'll believe it.

Maybe you should ask Tahmooressi's lawyer to stop saying he has PTSD then?

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/2...ew-tahmooressi-to-determine-whether-has-ptsd/

Obviously it is not speculative. Maybe you should try getting your facts straight?

 

Sigh, you know that when I'm saying he is battling personal demons that it is a figure of speech right? It means he has some issues that he dealing with. I'm not actually bringing satan into this in any literal sense. His defense and subsequent release centered around the FACT that he has PTSD and made a suicide attempt in Mexico. Nobody is speculating, we are going off of facts here that even Sgt. Tahmooressi's family is well aware of and corroborated.

Furthermore, I don't need a lecture from you about the horrors of war and what it does to the human psyche. I know first hand the damage that things like PTSD can do. Simply acknowledging that this guy has issues, (which is documented and acknowledged by his family, his lawyers, the politicians lobbying for his release and finally the Mexican judicial system) and wishing for him to get the treatment he needs is in no way shape or form a disparaging remark to Sgt. Tahmooressi.

 

I ought to make it my new sig:
Some people see the world the way they want to see it, not the way it really is.

 

The Marine was lawfully carrying his weapons in the US. He accidentally made a wrong turn and ended up at the gate in Mexico. He declared that he was there by accident and had weapons. He was then railroaded by Mexican Military authorities and an illegal search warrant was obtained in order to do that.

He should have never been arrested but given opportunity to turn around and go back to the American side of the border. He was nothing but a victim of a corrupt Mexican military. Anything else is just a lie or speculation.

Should he have been given special consideration because he is a vet? Anyone who has put their life on the line for our country should be given special consideration in a great many situations. If you do not like that too bad. I am sure Putin would love to have you.

 

Matt Wade: Do you think that he should have remained in that Mexican prison?

 

I think that he should be treated the same as anyone else in the same situation. I think that he shouldn't receive special treatment simply because he is ex-military. I also think that when you start lying about things you are up to no good.

 

I thought I was on ignore? Curiosity get the better of you?

Sorry to tell you, but I have no following here on BB. You are looking for boogeymen where they don't exist.
