Cite your sources....don't think you were in the courtroom much less at the scene. I read some of the transcript....there is conflicting testimony from several eyewitnesses. They do not all agree on much of anything. There was a wrestling match, that much EVERYONE agrees. The two prime defense witnesses were Mexican nationals one a relative of the drug smuggler the other may have been in on the crime. Again how do you know what happened?



At the point of his apprehension and at the point of the clubbing and shooting, they had not inspected the car. so there was no way for them to know what if anything was in the car. So this is two things that usually escapes the CB courtroom of public opinion.

There had been a high speed chase. Things happen pretty quick in such events. The vehicle was hung up trying to ford the river and the smuggler tried to escape by foot. He was tackled and a fight followed.


Which original article? There have been so many from so many wacky half fast sources that they are starting to blend together in a heap.


Anyone with any experience in this industry here knows that it is a giant case of hypocrisy for American truckers to talk about traffic safety when there are so many American truckers and company demanding to operate with less or no scrutiny at all. The Mexican trucks that are part of the study and no less safe that most any trucking company here.. and everyone who's not blinded by the bandwagon "me too" wave knows it.

Pure fiction! There are enough Bush haters who are more dangerous and have threatened this country than the mexican truckers have.

I voted for the man twice. Have never voted for a Dem for president ever. Won't next time but I might go fishing. You ever been to Mexico- seen what passes for a CMV down there? Some trucks are OK most are not.

Thats just emotion filled blather. On the drugs.. I do not CARE! Bring them in! If we didn't have so many morons recreationally using them. they wouldn't be flooding in from all over the world.. its a non issue. The illegal immigration thing is also unrelated and emotion driven.

Pack Rat always gets his panties in a bunch when anybody says anything negative about mexicans, unfortunately his common sense usually takes a vacation at about the same time as well. The screening process here in the states automatically weeds out most applicants with criminal records. All one has to do is read all the posts from wannabe drivers who can't get hired because of criminal records to see that.

You're fooling yourself if you seriously think that many truck drivers on the road today aren't riding with criminal records.
