The video probably would have said The President made the choice to let the American be executed. Definitely, a no-win situation.
Tahmooressi made a terrible error by crossing into Mexico by getting on a wrong road late at night with loaded guns in his vehicle(?). He might not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer- but not deserving of 200 days in prison by any means. Sounds like he was lost.
No comparison between these two men at all.

I made no comparison. I simply answered an inquiry into why the tension and there was tension NOT because of the people involved as you present it, but more on how it was handled by .....to be safe....lets say...powers to be.
There are a number of articles making this case, but will not supply links at this time....much to p......l . However if you google both names you will have your choice. BUT I was not making any comparison between the two men or their actions.
