This is a national disgrace. If it were any Congressman or woman’s child, You can bet that he would be released, with a huge apology.
What is happening to our County? NVM I know what it is. I am boycotting Mexico products and certainly won’t go on a cruise that stops in any Mexican port.
That’ll show, Paige!
Joe, It is amazing how you will twist the facts to try make your argument. Try reporting facts and not twisted lies to make Obama look bad.
Facts:
–He is not a Marine, but a former marine.
–It was not his first time into Mexico, he had walked across the border 2 hours before being arrested and got a hotel room, then walked back across the border to his truck and drove into Mexico and got arrested.
–The guns he was carrying were not legal in California or Mexico, so regardless of where he was, he was in possession of illegal weapons.
–The medical treatment story is a made up story by his friend on Fox News and even his lawyer says it is not true.
–What ever happened to the rule of law? You scream weekly about Obama and the rule of law, should not this former marine also do so, if he is truly innocent it will come out.
–So if Obama was so disrespectful by his coffee salute, was Bush with his dog salute? Or is it only when Obama does something it is disrespectful?
Joe your HIPOCRASY knows no bound
An astonishing collection of absolute misinformation about this case.
* “A soldier in the United States Marine Corps.”
No. He was honorably discharged in November, 2012. His status is inactive reserve. His legal status when he gets into trouble, here or abroad. is that of any other civilian.
* “His crime? Accidently making a wrong turn into Mexico”
He claims his entry was an accident, but why did he deliberately go through the “Nothing to Declare” lane, when he had other choices such as not going in at all? And why did he lie to authorities? He’d been in Tijuana several times recently, had a girlfriend there, and had even rented a hotel room in TJ on the day of his arrest.
So there’s doubt as to his claim of “accidental” entry. And he was arrested for carrying three loaded guns into Mexico. His guns were in his front seat within arm’s reach. They were all chambered and ready to fire. He was in violation of California law as well as Mexican law; and the fact that he had three guns locked and loaded in his front seat was no doubt a factor in his detention by Mexican authorities; who recognized him as a danger to himself and others both in Mexico and in the US.
* “Sgt. Tahmooressi was in San Diego to get the medical treatment”
Completely unsupported by facts. He lived in Weston, Florida, 3000 miles away. Don’t they have VA hospitals in Florida? What’s actually true is that he drove out to San Diego, carrying loaded guns across state lines in violation of Federal law and certainly California law; for the purpose of staying with his friend in San Ysidro.
Not one single shred of proof has ever been put forth that he was being treated or was seeking treatment for anything, not PTSD and not a hangnail. If such proof existed, wouldn’t his supporters have produced it by now?
* “He had parked on the American side while joining friends for a few drinks”
LOL That story was proved a lie back in early June when a Mexican newspaper published a copy of his hotel registration in Tijuana for that very day. Tahmooressi subsequently admitted he lied … about that, and about several other things.
At this point I stopped reading. It’s clear that you have not bothered to acquaint yourself with even the barest facts about this case.

My question is twofold-
1. Why does Joe’s half-baked garbage continue to run in this column ?
2. If the publisher is going to give a platform to a right wing nut like Joe, don’t journalistic ethics suggest that you give some time and space to someone from the left ?
Probably because he wants it to? Any local person can run anything he/she wants here. (As long as they don’t drop the f-bomb and that sort of thing.) We have unlimited “space” and plenty of “time” to run all of the commentaries we receive “from the left.” Oh, wait. Nobody ever submits any. Maybe that’s why.
