I had a friend mistakenly leave his registered hand gun in his truck as he drove onto a Texas Department of Corrections unit to visit a relative. His vehicle was searched and the hand gun was found.
He was arrested taken to jail and charged with the violation, the TDC certainly had no problems pressing charges for his mistake. He went to court, was found guilty and was fined, had to be on probation, and take all sorts of classes... all this for an honest mistake. Thankfully, he didn't do any jail time other than the two nights waiting to get bailed out by his wife.
The former US Marine made a mistake and he is paying the consequences. I've said this before, Mexico owes him nothing and he broke their laws. The US owes him for his service and if they wanted to, could use influence to release him.
He is in no way innocent- he went across the border with weapons- what would we do if someone from Mexico drove across into San Diego with a truck full of weapons? Treat him like royalty?
Actually the Mexican Law Enforcement "accidently" flew over into Texas in a helicopter and were shooting at the US Border Patrol Agents. They said sorry and that was the end of it.
BTW the required number of signatures for this petition in order to get the white house to address it was reached months ago. It's just the white house has chosen to ignore the petition and not respond.
I am sure most here will not bother to watch the video and will just attack the source.
He had already been living in the San Diego area for 2 months prior to this incident. People seem to be suggesting he just rolled into Mexico from Florida. There are statements to the media from his roommate in San Diego.
As someone who lived in Southern CA for many years and some of that in San Diego, I don't ever remember accidently crossing the border. In fact only went to Mexico twice(that was enough) and parked on the American side both times.
It's not possible to accidently cross the border in the San Diego area. Post #79 has a picture illustrating this and the freeway has signs well in advance telling what the last US exit is. You would have to be a complete moron and blind(so you shouldn't be driving) to miss this.

Last night his roommate in San Diego was on TV and said the reason the guns were in the truck was because the roommate had 2 little kids and they didn't want the guns around the kids. So he left them in the back of his truck with all of his other possessions.
One poster said he wasn't beaten and that was a lie. Meanwhile he was beat so many times in the jaw that his jaw was basically dislocated.
The liberal spin machine is in full swing with this story. They hate the military and hate guns and could care less about this country.
This makes no sense. The roommate knew he had all these weapons and that he(the roommate) had kids. You can't certainly leave them in the truck forever, this is BS.
That's like saying you let someone move in knowing they have cats when you're allergic. If the roommate was concerned about having guns and kids in the house he never would have agreed to let this guy move in to begin with.

It is very easy to cross into New Jersey also, and someone with a firearm can (and do) get arrested in NJ if they do cross over. For example:

That is a total BS excuse.
Quit watching CSI. You are trying to act like you are an investigator reporter on TV. A lawyer would wipe up the floor with your argument.
That is the testimony from the marine friend, the cops, the psychologist who was going to be treating him for PTSD. That's the facts whether you want to accept it or not.

Don't watch CSI. It's called "critical thinking", I know it's a strain when you're from FL, but try it.
It makes NO SENSE that if you have kids and have an issue with guns in the house that you let this marine become your roommate in the first place. You wouldn't say "oh just leave then in your trunk", and no responsible gun owner would do that either.
The guns in the trunk due to kids in the house was a BS story.
You can't seem to accept the fact this guy was up to no good. Just because he is marine doesn't give him a pass, and again you just don't accidently cross the border.
This isn't like accidently driving from NY into CT.

I watched the first half of it, despite the fact that it's clearly nothing but right-wing propaganda with an agenda to drum up support for this gunrunner. Thats is as much of it, as I could stomach. What I saw of it, shows a big propaganda FAIL. The video proves that even if you miss the last US exit and all the warning signs stretched out for the last 10 miles before the border, and you continue to drive your vehicle loaded with semiautomatic firearms in the far right lane, you can still make a U-Turn at the boarder. Obviously the mentally ill marine didn't try very hard.
im sorry i dont agree. all weapons were fully loaded when he crossed. why?
not standard procedure for military or civilian.
i say he was up to no good.
