American Surfer jailed in Mexico

can we keep the comments short please

 

yep. contact those legislators.

PS--I sleep VERY soundly at night know this is beside my bed (new xmas present)

 

Well said.

 

Sorry, I'm the biggest offender.

 

My bad on the rambles.

 

I feel bad for the guy having to suffer in a Mexican jail, but he should have done his research BEFORE he crossed the border, better yet, not even bring a gun, even if he knew it was a gray area it is another excuse for the corrupt police to throw him in jail. To rely on the US border agent when he is entering Mexico. It's not the border agent's job to know Mexican law.

 

Don't let this PETITION get lost on page 7 with all the dumb ramblings that have plagued this thread.

LETS GET THIS DUDE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

 

According to a Surfline article LCpl Jon Hammer will have a hearing tomorrow, Friday the 21st. That is, if he's not doubly screwed by the end of the world.

Can't wait to hear his story about what he went through down there. In the meantime, sending good thoughts because this guy doesn't deserve to be locked up. He should have left his grandfather's gun at home and purchased, in Mexico, one of the guns the ATF sent across the border in their Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal.

Nice to see the whitehouse.gov petition has exceeded the 25,000 required signatures. Come home soon bro.

i've never seen a single shot 410 that was over 24''. this was a 40 year old sears gun. you are right though, a good dove gun would be a 26'' 12 gauge with an improved choke.

 

guns are a good way to get food. he wanted to hunt a little, and you need a gun to do this. most ex-service members are not squimish about gun. if he wanted personal protection he would have had a pistol not a crappy 410 shotgun.

 

F*ck yeah! Justice served? Wow! I needed some good news like that. A highly respectable man can get the respect he deserves now that he's out of that hell hole filled with ruthless animals (sorry, I know some of you think it's safe as Sesame Street down there). May you be blessed with the sickest waves Jon. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you for your service to our citizens Jon Hammar.

 

Well said (in addition to the other great comments)

 

It's about time!

 

Doug hit the nail on the head.

Turns out this story touched more than a handfull of people who decided they were about to go down there and get him themselves (folks like ex-seals, green berets and other complete badasses who dedicate their lives to protecting our country, including an immediate family member of mine). The State Department finally took notice of this and did what they could have done months ago...

Big high five to all those who made it impossible for our stupid ass federal bureaucratic clown and circus government to ignore this veteran and make the one or two phone calls necessary to bring him home.

The corrupt Mexican government and all their corrupt local governments can eat a royal 8=================================================D

Merry Christmas,
