Haven't been following this story until just now reading this thread... but yeah... that was my immediate reaction. How many times have we seen this sort of shit pop up where people play to the nation's worst preconceived notions, stereotypes, and fears in order to manipulate public opinion. Cast guilt on the culprit who people want to believe is guilty, thereby moving scrutiny away from yourself.

I will say after researching this a bit more... it looks like there are witnesses that can back up the wife's story (at least someone says they saw her come ashore on her jet ski at a high rate of speed with armed men behind her firing guns at her).
While there is still something weird about the story (beyond jet skis), it looks like the wife is innocent.

Hmmmm... the "story" I paraphrased (while linked all over twitter) was actually a "special exclusive" to World Nut Daily... so it's suspect.

Interesting story for sure...now theres a witness who claims he saw her speed around and island from the Mexico side, but didnt see the actual killing.
i have my doubts about her story, but its an awful lot of trouble to create an international incident trying to cover up killing your husband? http://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-t...1820806&page=1 |

I doubt that was her idea. I think she did it. And I say kudos for such a masterful plan. Just keep it a bit more quiet next time.

The US should put a couple of big ass boats in the lake, get the US Navy and search the Mexican side. If there is any trouble call in an air strike.

Again I challenge you to show me where anyone on cp said that the government is not responsible for border security. The one thing it is tasked to do above all others is the only thing they don't seem interested in doing.

Well, yes, in this case the Mexican govt not controlling their own criminals. Nor ours. Then again, this post of yours is mis-using a line our of context that does not apply. It is the role of govt to investigate and prosecute crimes since the one of the the first function of govt is protecting lives. In fact that's the first reason govt is formed.
