An ex-U. S. Marine, now a hero of the far right, is languishing
in a Mexican Jail for breaking their laws not U.S. law, but Mexican Law.
Tahmooressi,
25, who served in Afghanistan and was promoted to sergeant, has been in jail
since April 1 after crossing the border at San Ysidro with three weapons and
hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his pickup truck. He had recently moved to
San Diego to receive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Tahmooressi
has consistently said he crossed the border by mistake, missing the turnoff to
remain in the U.S. That story was challenged by Mexican officials when
Tahmooressi's explanation that he had never before visited Mexico proved to be
untrue.
This is so wrong on so many fronts it is not only pitiful
but sick. I hear his mothers whining and pleading showing pictures of this guy
in full uniform. He is a fake and a lawbreaker, and for all we know he is hiding
behind the American flag claiming PTSD. How
could a guy who is mentally unstable from PTSD legally buy weapon or even have
a drivers license? How could he claim that because of his PTSD he did not know
about the busiest border crossing in the United States? Why would he have a pick-up
load of three weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition?
Why would the right wing nuts excuse this guy as some sort hero
and boo and hiss at a gay Afghanistan veteran at a conservative conference or
hate unarmed children who broke American law for entering this country
illegally and yet stand behind this guy.
