WTF? First I heard of Mexican Pirates. Those dirtbags must be pretty desperate to be attacking American's. They should be shot on sight.

Dang... I grew up in TX and I never even knew we had a lake that bordered Mexico. A heartbreaking story like this makes me want to camp out there with a riffle and a night scope!
It doesn't say they stole anything... just rolled up and open fired. Senseless.

Call them what you want, drug cartells have many names. I question why they would do such a thing and draw undue attention to themselves? I'm guessing her getting away wasn't part of the plan. Now who says big overpowered four stroke watercraft are useless, lol. :biggrin:

Well the feds won't do anything. Why doesn't the Texas sheriff and ever gun and boat owning texan go down there and find this guys body. I am sorry, but now a days people are scared to defend themselves and their country. Still can't figure out why we send our soldiers to Iraq, when they should be protecting OUR borders.

dam things are expensive lookin at 12000 to 18000 for a nice scope but if your in the business of hunting mexicans or talibans i think it would be worth the coin.

Ensenada, Baja California — (November 2, 2008) 4:45PM UPDATE: The rider and shooting victim has been identified as Steve Martz, who finished the 2007 SCORE Baja 1000 in 5th position in Class 22, Open Pro Motorcycles. Martz was riding with teammate/driver of record, Dan Walsh along with Aaron Cooper near Mike's Sky Rancho on Saturday on a leisurely motorcycle ride in Northern Baja.
Sometime in the middle of the night, their chase crew driving a pickup truck left for Mexicali seemingly abandoning the three riders at Mikes Sky Rancho. Chris Haines Motorcycle Tours also spent the night at Mikes Sky Rancho and agreed to tote the riders gear bags to Ensenada while the three riders "slabbed" it up Hwy 3 towards Ensenada.
The riders ventured into the dirt towards Jamul headed north and came across a fenceline covered in brush where they stopped. While Steve Martz and Dan Walsh were stopped at the fence line a shot rang out fired from a Mexican man a mere 75 feet away.
Martz was struck in the sternum by what was described to DIRTnewz as a small caliber bullet. With Martz on the ground, Walsh scrambled for cover. Aaron Cooper arrived and thought that Martz and Walsh were joking around when in fact Martz had been shot in the chest. Walsh attempted to start Martz' moto kicking it some 30-40 times but it wouldn't start. They abandoned Martz' bike and put Martz on the back of Walsh' motorcycle and headed for Highway 3. Enroute they discovered that the shooting victim Martz could not hold on the back of Walsh while riding and Walsh gave up his bike and let Martz ride solo to the highway where he rode into a group of Mexican Military personnel who helped Martz with emergency first aid and transported him to Valle Trinidad Medical Clinic.
Desert Assassin's Trophy Truck driver, Cameron Steele and his wife, Heidi Steele, were prerunning near Borrego when they decided to head to Ojos and prerun RM 40-120. While traveling through Valle Trinidad one of the Desert Assassin's crew members saw Dan Walsh in the back of a military Hummer and Cameron and his crew went to investigate what was going on.
Afterwards when approaching Mexicali in his chase vehicles, Cam Steele told DIRTnewz over the phone the story that unfolded.
"One of my guys said Dan was in the back of a military Hummer and I thought that was strange so we headed into Trinidad to see what was up. We found Walsh and Martz at the medical clinic in Trinidad and helped them with the process of a Med-A-Vac. The chopper finally arrived from Tijuana and it was so small I first thought this could not be the chopper. The pilot jumped out and began refueling the chopper with a 15 gallon gas container he brought with him inside the chopper. While he was syphoning the Jet A fuel, the medical paramedic was strapping in Martz on a backboard, but his legs from the knees down were hanging out the chopper. We wrapped up his legs with a blanket and heavy on the duct tape and they strapped him down with some straps similar to motorcycle straps and then the paramedic was kneeling above Martz as they flew away. It was truly incredible but it got the job done. Last I heard from Oscar Ramos, the SCORE Attorney, was that Martz was in surgery in Tijuana."
Walsh and Cooper were being transported individually by Cam Steele's chase crews, one to Ensenada and the other to Tecate with the Desert Assassins scheduled to cross the border before 10pm Sunday evening.

This stuff does suck. I can't imagine loosing a loved one like that. I live in Corpus and this stuff is happening just down the coast. They need to militarize the border, 38th parallel style. I do tend to arm myself when I'm south of CC. FYI if your active duty military in the state of TX your CHL processing fees ($140) are waved.
This is a very somber post, but I still can't believe nobody has said "should of gotten a superjet" yet.
