Joseph Proctor told his girlfriend he was popping out to the convenience store in the quiet Mexican beach town where the couple had just moved, intending to start a new life.

The next morning, the 32-year-old New York native was dead inside his crashed van on a road outside Acapulco. He had multiple bullet wounds. An AR-15 rifle lay in his hands....

Three soldiers have been charged with killing her son. Two have been charged with planting the assault rifle in his hands and claiming falsely that he fired first, according to a Mexican Defense Department document...

“quiet Mexican beach town where the couple had just moved, intending to start a new life”

Another liberal with a completely false view of the world gets a lethal dose of reality.

Sounds like Joe wasn’t all that adept at making good life choices. Having said that, I hope that his mother can arrive at something that at least resembles justice.

[MeganC]

Exactly.

Move along.... you gringos.... There’s nothing to see here.

In Mexico???

[skeeter]

What a friggen sewer Mexico is.

[The Comedian]

Well duh.

This was obvious from the first report.

Mexican military aren't like our military. They're more like Somali military.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Off topic:

Just how many foreign wars have the Mexicali military fought in?

Donna Proctor said Mexican Defense Department officials visited her recently in Long Island and compensated her for the cost of flying her son back to the U.S. and the funeral. She said she told them she wanted justice — and for the world to know what really happened.

Has the U.S. State Department returned any of her calls? Just wondering here...

[SandRat]

Not that I've heard of. Not Sec State, not Sec Homeland Insecurity, not anybody from the O-BOZO Commissariat ..errrrr .... administration.

[La Enchiladita]

Incredible: a total hands-off policy.
If I think too hard about this, my head will explode.

Pretty much sums it up, first post no less.

[Chode]

bingo...

[Purrsiancat]

Interesting question....

[Purrsiancat]

She had a hard enough time getting the truth; full justice may never come. Hopefully, his tragedy has caused more Americans to be wary and careful when it comes to visiting Mexico. You know what really worries me is that the kind of antics pulled by authorities in Mexico will spill over into our country. I realize we have our bad cops, too, but by-and-large, such practices are not acceptable. We still get outraged when learning about dishonesty such as planted evidence.

I wonder if they (liberals) will continue to call it quiet.
