Bikers, they always make a difference! Here is a group, led by John Harrington of Shield Tactical that is trying to continue to make a difference and return our Marine from Mexico. Not much press on this, interesting. As they head to San Diego, it will be interesting to see what their number grow to and is worth monitoring on One Marine’s View. Their slogan “We weren’t there but we still care” shows those that didn’t serve, do care. Time for a C-Gar

I wish them luck, hopefully they'll drum up enough publicity that we'll see some movement on this situation.

What makes you think they aren't?

His situation is not comparable to Berdahl's. This man was not on active duty, or a captured prisoner of war to whom we have a military obligation to leave no man behind. He was retired military, an ordinary civilian who did something pretty stupid and might be mentally ill and will probably be released by Mexico. He's only been there a couple of months. Not five years.

Let's be realistic here - the man broke Mexican law crossing into Mexico with weapons and 400 rounds of ammo. He claims it was accidental. But, it's kind of hard to do this accidently. He was also breaking California laws as well as Mexican laws.

According to Vice News, Tahmooressi entered Mexico with a 5.56mm rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .45-caliber pistol, as well as more than 400 rounds of ammunition. The chief Mexican customs officer at the San Ysidro crossing told Vice that the guns, all loaded, were "just wrapped up in his belongings" rather than locked away and unloaded as required by California law. Vice also reported that "the rifle was found behind the driver’s seat, the shotgun on the passenger seat, and the pistol was in the driver-side door pocket, along with several cartridges."

It's pretty hard to accidentally end up in Mexico. Especially with guns. There are big signs on the U.S. side telling travelers that guns are illegal in Mexico. There’s plenty of warning that the border is approaching. Is it plausible that Tahmooressi crossed by accident in the dark? Maybe. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, even though he admitted that he lied to Mexican officials about how many times he'd crossed the border.

Tahmooressi’s mother, Jill Tahmooressi, has been campaigning in the media for American officials to secure her son’s release. A nurse, she told Vice News that her son needs specialized treatment. She said she had observed signs of paranoia in him, and that he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder at the Veterans Affairs facility in La Jolla on March 12. She said he is “hypervigilant” and in 2013, suffered from “hunter-prey syndrome; he was the prey.”

Let’s leave aside for the moment the horror we may feel at the idea that a psychologically compromised veteran who believes he is being hunted is driving around with three loaded guns and a cache of bullets, and is so out of it he misses numerous alerts that he is about to cross an international border.

Was it proper for Mexican authorities to arrest him on suspicion of violating the country's gun laws? Of course it was.

Should Mexico release the former Marine? Yes. I think Mexico should, and I think Mexico will.

And then every effort should be made to get this young man into treatment, and to separate him from his guns and ammo before he hurts himself or anyone else.

As my colleague Tony Perry has reported, at least 24 members of Congress have called on the State Department to work with Mexican authorities to free Tahmooressi. Last month, Secretary of State John Kerry brought up Tahmooressi's plight in talks with Mexican officials, and the case is being monitored by the U.S. Consulate in Mexico.

Still, that hasn’t stopped the partisan noise machine from trying to use this unfortunate young man’s plight as a cudgel against the president...
 
PR pressure brought about by the media is about all they can hope for IMO. But if both US and Mexican media folks spike the story nothing's likely to happen.

Short of media help, and maybe the best option, is to bring lots of cash with them. The Mexican legal system is just one aspect of their culture that runs like a top when well oiled.

At least some one cares.
 
Just like the guy said being interviews....mexican military comes over all the time by mistake and we let them return home. This is just ludicrous. Mexico needs to get off their stumps and let him come home. And if they don't, then I hope these guys do something that Obama seems to not be doing himself.

Maybe so but most Americans commit three felonies a day because the laws are too broad or to vague:

I didn't know the president is suppose to interject himself into every humans life...

A US citizen....who served his country with honor....is being held in a foreign country on crap charges...and detained in horrific conditions.

Are you saying that Obama should just ignore that?
 
I didn't know the president is suppose to interject himself into every humans life...
Yeah right. The Marine swore an oath to put his life on the line for the likes of BOBO. BOBO plays golf.
My God you are a sorry excuse for a human being. Darwin isn't finished with you yet pal.
PI
I'd love to see ten thousand/twenty thousand 'real men' cross to border to save an innocent man while BOBO, the punk plays golf. BOBO handed over the elite of terrorists for a DESERTER! whose hobby is ballet. BOBO could pick up the fucking phone and the Marine would be released. But BOBO plays golf.
What a fucking disgrace for a President!

"(CNN) -- President Barack Obama congratulated Michael Sam on Saturday for being the first openly gay football player taken in the National Football League draft, the White House said in a statement.
"From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are," Obama said. He also congratulated the NFL and the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted Sam."
