I think Obama should help, but he didn't help former democratic congresswoman Cynthia McKinney when Israel imprisoned her after hijacking her boat in international waters either.
As I said in another thread.
Good for him. It's just too bad for that trucker that he wasn't an all American looking former marine carrying a gun. Perhaps the media would have cared more and he wouldn't have spent 7 months in a mexican jail before his family secured enough funds for his release.
1st, Mexican law says you can't declare a gun at the border. 2nd, he's lucky he got stopped in Mexico, because I highly doubt the other unsafe countries he planned to lug that thing through would have simply chained him to a bed. 3rd, who cares if the gun was "antique"? He was planning to take it hunting, so it's not like it was simply a show piece..As I said in another thread.

He crossed into Mexico and declared an antique shotgun to Mexican customs officials.

After seven months in a Mexican prison, a U.S. truck driver arrested after driving an 18-wheeler loaded with ammunition into Juárez is expected to cross into the U.S. today, Mexican authorities said Thurs day.
Jabin Akeem Bogan, 27, who was arrested by Mexican authorities April 17, was to leave an immigration detention center in Veracruz early today and then travel to Juárez.
"Tomorrow (Friday) he will be sent to Ciudad Juárez, and from there he will be released to U.S. authorities," said Carlos Alvarez Barroso, spokes man for the Veracruz division of the National Immigration Institute.
Bogan has been held in an immigration detention center since Nov. 15 after being released from a federal prison in Villa Almada, Veracruz, in southern Mexico.
The Dallas truck driver was arrested when he drove his 18-wheeler into Juárez via the Bridge of Americas carrying 268,000 rounds of ammunition -- mostly .308- and .223-caliber rounds.
Mexican authorities argued that it was one of the largest ammunition seizures made in Juárez since the outbreak of a drug cartel war, in which more than 10,000 people have been killed in the past five years.
Bogan was charged with possession and trafficking of ammunition, which in Mexico can carry a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. Bogan, who always insisted that he entered Juárez by mistake, was sent to a federal prison while waiting the judicial process. He has maintained that he made a wrong turn.

Oh, and thanks for responding to my post, while not actually addressing my point. Which was, this kid spent a thrid of the time the trucker did in jail, and he actually broke the law, unlike the trucker, dumbass.
The trucker was scheduled to make an ammo delivery to a warehouse, and took a wrong turn on the freeway. He spent 7 months in jail for that wrong turn.
Serious question, it's almost impossible to get the advanced permit needed to bring a gun into Honduras.
What do you think his plans were for that?
As I said elsewhere, I'm not at all surprised the rw's AND the R would happily endanger this guy by using him as a political football.
What would you rw's say about a foreigner breaking our laws?
And I'm not at all surprised that you think a U.S. citizen deserves what he gets despite the fact that he did everything he knew to do to comply with the law and had every intention of being legal. A 24" shotgun that was manufactured that way isn't very different from at 25" shotgun. And endangering him by trying to help facilitate his release? You have to be really whacked out to believe that.
And yes, if we detained and imprisoned a foreigner for no worse 'offense' than that, I would be equally as outraged.
John Hammer will be a forgotten pawn in the Chess game that is gun control, doomed to rot in a Mexican prison. Forget that he declared his antique shotgun at the border. He symbolizes everything Liberals like Obama find distasteful... Those who fight for their country, and those who might desire to go hunting.
