A reservist and veteran Marine (not active duty) drove from San Diego to Tijuana with guns... yes, that clearly is stupid. Idiotic even... but he's been imprisoned since March, and the USA government and Marines haven't gotten his situation handled satisfactorily yet, though the 5 Gitmo for one US military member trade happened a week ago. WTF?
They’ve been on the road to California for more than a week, led by John Harrington, of Shiner, Texas, who organized the ride.
“I have a core group of riders with me,” Harrington said. “We’ve got lots of other riders pledging to ride in.”
They want Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi freed.
We’re told Tahmooressi, a veteran who has served two tours and is currently a reservist, called 911 when he couldn’t turn around, but U.S. authorities couldn’t help him because he was already in Mexico.
Tahmooressi reportedly made his way to border patrol agents and told them he made a wrong turn. Supporters said he alerted authorities to three guns in his truck that were registered to him, but he was charged with gun running.
Tahmooressi supporters believe the federal government is not doing enough to free him, even though they were willing to release Bergdahl, who they believe deserted his troops before being captured by the Taliban.
