1. Ok, I'm done for the night...
   
I'm actually imagining your OP was titled "Man(on Jet Ski) Killed by Mexican Pirates on Texas Lake" and I just can't go there.

It's like we're still living under BushCo* with no options.

Next comes the your-bigotry-makes-you-overreact mantra:

19. MEXICAN pirates!! On a TEXAS lake!!1!
   
Oh noes!!1! Nice bit of inflammatory reporting. Sounds like we're being invaded. So what is a local problem becomes a national news item, and a subject of hysterical reporting on RW blogs and talk media.

And because he just can't keep his mouth shut to keep from sayin' stupid shit:

3. "Illegal Border-Crosser Killed by Pirates on Mexican Lake"...
   
...would be another way to put it.

People using a lake for recreational purposes with every intent to return to their own nation and homes are now the moral equivalent of 20 million illegals seeking illegal residency and public benefits.

But why dance with moral equivocation when you can move to hold the wife in suspicion of murder with no supporting evidence:

33. I wonder how she found the time to do that
   
with "pirates" in hot pursuit, shooting at her.

Note to self: never count on a liberal to save your ass in a firefight.

31. There have been plenty of stories over the years about partners murdering
   
the other during remote activities (the scuba diver, Gabe Watson, always comes to my mind) so I thought that at first too. However, there has been a lot of crime on those lakes in recent years, so I hope the police are keeping their minds wide open...

And your mind is so open on the craving to legalize 20 million undocumented democrat voters your brains fell out.

Now for a quasi-sequitor.

14. unfortunetly
   
the unresolved immigration issue leaves everyone wondering what to do. The only proper response is for the coast guard to put some ships in the lake and blow the living sh*t out of these jerks.

This is only remotely tied to immigration in that it is the abject cowardice and self-serving motivations of the pols that keep our laws from being enforced.

Now we move to the realm of thought that says if RWers-are-agin-it-we-must-be-fer-it...even-if-its-murder:

22. Thanks for the link, UTUSN
   
I remembered reading about the earlier incidents and how they were used by wingnuts like Hannity to inflame anti-immigrant and dire border violence hysteria, but couldn't find the links.

You're right--these incidents ARE being used to serve the RW agenda, and professional journalists should know better than to accept as gospel everything they're spoon-fed by biased sources.

See, that's the problem with you RWers: you think this general lawlessness is somehow tied to the refusal to enforce laws. If only you understood the reason liberals refuse to enforce laws is because you RWers are bigots. It's really no more complicated than that.

Back to, I-bet-the-bitch-did-it:

51. Sheriff is attention whore for Minutemen; local radio = Faux affiliate for wingnuts
   
The term "John WAYNE" is not just a joke. The real WAYNE was one of the biggest chickenhawks who ever lived; played all these "tough" roles and did crap in WW II. That's why chickenhawks in the military or law enforcement are called John WAYNE. This sheriff is a John WAYNE.

See post #15 for his activities. Clue, he loves to be interviewed by HANNITY or young journalists from far ends of the country that swallow his hysteria whole.

I myself am not speculating about the wife, am focusing entirely on how the wingnuts/Tbaggers/minutemen/Faux use incidents like this to drive their fools into hysteria.

So obviously he's a liar.

In fact all RWers are liars when it comes to the law. So-much-so if you vote for a republican--ever--you should be charged with a hate crime each and every time you report a crime because obviously you're just fomenting hatred. Since our prisons are over-represented with minorities and this whol border-lawlessness thing is just trumped up by the RW we can pretty much assume only conservative racists report crimes.

The tete-a-tete continues:

until you live down here, dont act like you are an authority on what goes on along the border here, just this week we had 2 dead in brownsville that was a cartel hit, car jackings by undocumented visitors, and an international bridge shut down for several hours because the Mexican marines crossed the border.

23. The Mexican-American War started because President James Polk
   
coveted Mexican lands, and he knew that asking politely would just get him laughed at.

If only weapons of mass destruction had existed back then, Ole Polk-Head wouldn't have had to think as hard of an excuse...

It's a shame California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas can't be a big a shit-hole as Mexico was then/is today. I suppose there never would be a Feinstein, Pelosi and Boxer though so this one is a toss-up.

Not even WW2 is safe from DUmbass tampering:

complete Global domination (guess that falls under real estate), with the side benefit of mass genocide against Jews, Gypsies and had they been there, probably Mexican Pirates.

44. genocide just made our propagandists job easier. Even the Simon Wiesenthal Center
   
said the war wasn't about the treatment of the Jews, but the territorial ambitions of Hitler in Europe and Japan in Asia. Both were latecomers as world powers, trying to elbow their way to colonial trough and that would not be tolerated by those already feeding.

The real proof is World War I. Germany had similar goals of being the continental power and the US, Britain, France, and others opposed them even though they had the same form of government as Great Britain.

Hm-m-m...should I shop at Dollar-Mart or General Saver?

I really like Dollar-Mart but they have that whole "kill the Jews" thing going on.

Oh well, General Saver is in it for the profit too so I guess that makes him the moral equivalent. Dollar-Mart can keep my business.

35. And if she was being chased by "pirates",
   
and she was within range of their rifles, I wonder how she had time to turn around and attempt to rescue her companion.

Very odd, indeed.

This 'news' item will, no doubt, aid in whipping many people into a jingoistic lather.

Again, if you ask for laws to be enforced, like murder and stuff, you are obviously a racist.

This story does sound odd. And the news story, on our local news in N. Texas tonight, had an even odder twist. First they said the couple was "sight seeing" on the Mexican side of the lake. Then, the newscast mentioned how frightened the couple has been for their safety, and they were going to move away...but... wait for it... the couple wanted "one more time on the lake." Okay, I'm no Einstein, but something doesn't add up.

I wouldn't mind sight-seeing in Mexico...but mostly just to point and laugh at the shit-covered, misbegotten cretins who don't have the huevos to fight for their own country so the pussies run north to stand outside Home Depot all day in the hopes they can cut my lawn while wearing t-shirts that squeal with jingoistic pride about how wonderful Mexico really is. That is when they aren't haggling me for $10 to pop their 14-year old cousins in the squeak hole and/or sell me an 8-ball.

40. Thats more likely, or

But 'pirates'?

56. I understand your frustration ...
   
But, you have to admit ... Stranger things have happened ....

It would not be unusual for a spouse to kill another spouse, and blame it on some vague and nebulous outsider ... Then go on to collect insurance ...

This has happened for more than you may want to admit ....

The fact that eyewitnesses were present tends to give more credibility to her story .... as long as the eyewitnesses are unrelated and unknown to the parties involved ....

If that is the case, then the case FOR her is strong ... otherwise, it is just as suspect as any other similar case ...

You cant blame others here for being 'careful' ...

You're not careful. You're blame-America-first, treasonous pieces of shit.

We close with these two shit bags full of shit:

41. Call me cynical, but to me this whole thing just doesn't pass
   
the smell test. Why on earth would supposed 'pirates' shoot the guy instead of robbing the jetski first? Why would they shoot at him at all? Her story also strikes me as being a little unbelievable. We'll have to wait and see what details emerge but for now I reserve the right to be very skeptical of her story.

I can call you much worse than cynical...and it would all be true, you thug-fellating, America-hating, cowardly piece-of-sub-human shit.

I think it is time for some locals on our southern borders to start forming militias. 

We own Jet Ski's and I am trying to picture how this could have come about.

Each of us has a 3 seater and we have never gotten them up to high speed-65mph is fast enough for us.  Speedometer goes to 85-90.

It is curious that the wake from the jets did not rock the chasing boats,
making it a wee bit difficult to aim dead on.

I would like to see the model and brand of a boat that would catch up to a Jet when the riders were full throttle down.

My Jets are designed to circle about the rider if they fall off and pull the landyard attached to the key and flotation device vest.

Quite frankly, unless the Wife works as a Stunt woman I cannot see how she could have shot husband, at any speed, Jets will rock back and forth on a dead calm lake.

If the shot that killed the husband came from the chasing boats, it had to have been a one in a million accident.

Now to the goodie question, how do we know the boats that chased them were manned by Mexicans, ?    The couple themselves had crossed the border into Mexico and who is to say some bunch of drunken American fisherman were not just having sport with the skiers.

Now to the body, the husband must have been wearing a floatation vest, I can see no reason not to wear one or take one off.   So where did his body go ???  The vest would have kept him afloat at least 4-6 hours.

If he was not wearing a flotation device he would have sunk very fast, the wife would have had to dive to find him.  She stated she tried to pull him to her Jet but could not do that, so why didn't she just tow his body back to shore?

This is a good hum dinger of a puzzle nothing makes sense in any of this story to me.

I am saying that if you are dead and face down in the water, you will sink. It is seldom that a person who is dead in a swimming pool floats for long, unless they have a life vest.
 

 As Robert Schneider the actor that called police to say his wife was on the bottom or the deep end of their pool found out.

Latest story she gives is she saw him go over the handle bars, HIMMMMM now I have never seen that ever happen on a Jet to anyone but those that do go off from the side, I have never seen a dead person fall off one and one would think being shot in the back of the head makes one dead before hitting the water.  There was nothing being said of a troth in the water caused by large waves or the wake of another boat to cause him to porpoise down and be thrown forward.

Anyone that rides a motorcycle knows that unless they are hit from behind or slam into something  head on, they will go off to the side.

Aerodynamics comes in here, unless he was standing up when hit, quite frankly I do not see how that could have happend.  Being shot in the back now is different, the speed factor and the calibre of the bullet could cause a person to fly forward.  A large caliber projectile most likely would have taken half his head off. 

As soon as he was hit the Jet should have come to a stop, his right hand controlling the throttle like on a motorcycle would have shut down the speed immediately.  If he was thrown off the Jet would have continued to circle him.   

The wife says on Fox that he was face down and she turned him over to find he had been shot, possible as he may have looked back at her following and received the shot perhaps to the side of the head.

Remember beginning Algerbra when we had those problems to solve--Like a car going 50 mph and one at 30 are chasing each other, how long before at a speed of 60 will it take the 2nd. car to catch up with the first.?  The boats chasing them would have to be going faster then their Jets to get within shooting range.

Then there is the very nature of the beast,  on water a jet does not unless in a channel drive straight on, or follow a path, one zigs and zags, constantly on the look out for floating tree limbs and Jetsum.

As an a side Jets are high speed animals and one cannot just putt along at 20 mph for 30 minutes sightseeing, they need to to run at high speed to keep the machine in good working order.

Interesting question for you Allo, if a person on a Jet can somehow be shot in the back of the head, why was it that the his wife a sitting duck was not also shot.?
