Petition for Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi's release

[TheVikingRL]

Hopefully not a repost, I searched the pub and didn't see anything.

Goal is 100,000+ signatures by May 31st so the White House will respond/investigate officially.

Here is more info on this case. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loc...exico-Prison-on-Weapons-Charge-257728191.html

I am hopeful that very soon after May 28 Sgt. Tahmooressi will be released by the Mexican government. At least I am hopeful after reading the report above in my link.

I certainly hope so. We'll send out 80 troops to try to rescue "our girls," who are not even from this country, but we won't do much about a man who defended our country, who is in jail in Mexico.

A Marine Corps combat veteran remains in a Mexican jail after missing a freeway ramp and crossing the border with legally owned American firearms — without a single hash tag from the White House. Sad.

So the dude missed a turn, drove straight into mexico, then was randomly searched and they found weapons? Isn't there a huge sign that says "now entering mexico"?? Maybe a lane to turn around in if you really didn't want to exit your country? Shit, they have that at the gates to my base.

Hope the dude comes home soon, and I hope we change our border crossings to prevent this in the future.

I wonder if the same reaction would be displayed if a Mexican national got lost, missed an exit, etc.., and ended up in Texas or KA with a few firearms in the vehicle.

His escape attempt doesn't really help his hopes for release.

Well, at least there is some progress on the situation.

It seems odd to me too that we can readily send 80 Marines andf drones into Nigeria and incur all the costs involved because Nigeria itself cannot and/or will not fight it's enemies - but we can't sem to do much of anything about a Marine combat veteran who served his country well in a foreign land.

Maybe it's because the kidnapped girls in Nigeria generated worldwide sympthay - but this guy is just one lone Marine who made a mistake and just doesn't count as much to the Obama administration as the kidnapped girls?

Good luck getting that pea brain that is currently ruining this country to do anything....other than telling the world "if they cross that line"...
