Why not? Obama and Kerry won't do anything! As someone who has entered Mexico many times, I've always been extremely aware of two things: First, as a Gringo, you have a huge target on your back for the local cops. Second, when you're confronted with the cops, the ONLY thing to do is get out your $$$ and be prepared to save all the trouble and pay the fine. As for the bikers, their hearts are in the right place but they're not going to be able to do anything unless and until it's something to hit the Mexican authorities in their wallets.

It's not they won't do anything, but they can't do anything. The best thing for this Marine to do is to put trust in his lawyer to get him out of jail through the Mexican Court system.
But where is the fun in that. Hofefully they realize that if they go pointing guns at Mexican Authorities, unlike US Authorities, they will be fired on without much warning. They might want to try a better method.
Do you think that the Marine asked for this demonstration? You may not know that the Marine has been at the mercy of the corrupt Mexican court system for months. Mexico is s (*)(*)(*)(*) hole because of their court system that is just about as bad as it gets. Good luck to the bikers. They need to stay tight or some of them will be in jail or dead. What gives you the idea that the bikers are armed?? Ignorance??
If they are going down to Mexico to confront their legal system do you think they would go unarmed? Would you, Snarky? - - - Updated - - - They would be better off bring cash, LOTS OF CASH, we know that government officials there can be bribed, you know just like ours.
so the guy was arrested for having an illegal gun in Mexico... sucky charge but it is their laws.... what is the sentence for having a gun in Mexico? maybe if enough of them go, the pr disaster will get them to release him sooner, weirder things have happened in the past, I would not take guns if I were them though wish them luck.... .
Two likely scenarios- 1. Almost nobody shows up when the time comes and it falls apart (and of course is quickly forgotten by its promoters on the Right)...i.e. "American Spring". 2. A bunch of morons get arrested by the Mexican authorities and get thrown in the same prison.
[video=youtube;jUq-WPDeEik]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUq-WPDeEik[/video] these guys aren't going to do anything they don't even seem to be sure they'll cross the border
That's really nice, but I'm not sure the Mexican government recognizes the authority of American bikers in this regard.
With all due respect this is absolute bull crap! If anyone in the world would have sway with the Mexican government it would be Master Diplomat Obama and his protégé, John Kerry. Granted, it might mean that Obama might actually have to stop the flow of illegals from south of the border, as leverage with Mexico, but it just goes to show where his priorities have always lain: Not with the Marine but with gutting our border security and our stated national immigration policy as formulated by Congress.
I'm betting on Scenario #1.....12 bikers get to the border, see how few showed up, and turn around and drive back to some Hooters in San Diego and drink beer, whine about Obama (always popular), and if anybody asks say they were "disappointed by the turn-out".....and fade away.
They may just be trying to draw attention to an issue they believe in. Not much different from occupy wall st...as if sleeping in a park is going to change how wall st operates.
Just wondering, is there any American citizen you wouldn't condemn to a gulag just for partisan BS talking points or a you a contemptuous (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) to everyone?
If it's a bunch of Goldwing riders, there's a good chance the Marine might be able to slip away...while the Mexicans are laughing their asses off at all the blinking lights, trinkets, do dads, and stuffed animals adorning the bikes. ...hope abounds.
they will just be bribe out, in a few days..so are you saying we need to be more tough like the Mexican jails here in the us?
He "accidently" crossed the border? And his mother says he suffers from "directional dysfunctionality?" Does that me he cant find his ass with both hands?
does this mean the Mexican government can do what ever they want with a lost us citizen traveler that wanted to come back? there is a MEXICANT back lash going on you know http://www.lasvegassun.com/vegasdel...14-miss-usa-nia-sanchez-nevada-responds-atta/ http://www.latina.com/buzz/miss-usa-2014-nia-sanchez-bio-facts-trivia
