An American tourist sentenced to 12 years in Turks and Caicos for possession of ammunition in luggage

What idiots bring ammo to another country? Worse than Griner bringing weed to Russia.

Ridiculous. If only the world focused on real crime. Things that matter. This is a waste of time

😂what a DUMBAZZ

Oh sounds like TSA should charge him too. Putting faith in God is a lot like buying Bitcoin…betting on something that doesn't exist

What size caliber?

How did you get there? You had to have gone through TSA at least once even if you flew your own plane. Not even Jimmy Buffet can help you there now. God can always help so keep the faith

I always go to Las Vegas for my vacations and never get into trouble. Those foreign countries are dangerous. They always plant contraband in your luggage.

Sad indeed!dont know why? people keep going outside the US.woman sexually assaulted
In the islands. The ex marine
accidently wondered into the Mexican border. Hell getting
Back…media blows things up!
He'll be out.. MORGAN and MORGAN they can get him out.
Anybody pass it on to his wife.
BIG LAW FIRM.

Lessons to be learned here and hopefully the consequences are not extreme. But my concern is how is TSA missing these items getting on a plane? With the amount of crime and possible threats coming in with our open borders, this is quite disturbing.

Pay attention…. What us wrong with these people?

Unfortunately we don't have a competent administration to intervene on this citizen's behalf.

if trump was president, he would make it an immediate priority to get this man home

He should contact the guy who helped Carlos Ghosen escape Japan!

These are good people. They’ve done nothing wrong. Such injustice! Prayers for them & their family!

I'm pretty sure God didn't leave those bullets in the suitcase, but that's just my opinion. Wait, were you counting on God to take those illegal bullets out of the suitcase…before you were caught with them?

DONT MAKE STUPID MISTAKES travelling overseas..
enjoy your prison time

People say check your bags and so and so on. I get it, going to another country, know the laws so on and so on. You can tell dude is being honest he made a mistake, perfection doesn’t exist. Give the dude just a tiny bit of a break get off his case and give your American citizen and his family some love and support. We know a lot of you walk on water and and have no skeletons in your closets. He didn’t harm anyone physically and made a mistake.

where is turks and caicos? never heard of it.

I am a 2nd amendment guy and own lots of firearms. I suspect there is something more to this story. The man states that he typically uses the ammo found in his suitcase for deer hunting. A typical projectile that comes out of deer hunting bullet that hunters use is between 150-180 grains. A 30-30 Winchester bullet is what a typical hunter would use while hunting deer. A 30-30 bullet is about three (3) inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. In other words, its a big bullet. There is no way you can miss something that big in your suitcase. I hope it works out for this man, but his story does not pass the smell test.

You went to a foreign country broke their laws and think it's no big deal stupid entitled American spend 12 years at their jail State department not going to do anything for you are not famous

Hire a local fisherman to give you a ride of the island return home and don't return to that communist island, walk away with middle finger in the air and don't allow them to extract a dime from you

Americans need to understand that these other countries don’t care

Everyone needs to contact their Representatives and Senators to get the state department to move on this and help our fellow citizens!!

I have no idea why Americans go to other countries if you're American citizen you go to another country will automatically arrest you cuz you're the bad guy they think all Americans are super rich and can afford the bribe to get out of a foreign jail

Never, go overseas with ammo, stupid mistake… I don’t care if he knew or didn’t think about it! You are in a foreign country, they don’t care …

Where in the Second Amendment does it say stupid lazy gun owners don't have to follow laws?

Anyone else notice how the comment section is working like a Chinese social credit score now? The AI and algorithms are making it hard for people that are right-wing or conservative to leave those type of comments. They're making it so your keyboard freezes up so that everything slows down so you can't edit your comments they're making it so the keyboard just sticks on your screen for like almost a minute. This only happens on YouTube. Then it starts working better after posting about it

Yeah communist countries really suck

Don’t go to foreign 💩countries without civil rights

Broke the law pay the consequences why do republicans complain when your held responsible for something

Lol, WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST AMMO doesn't go over well outside of Fascist America.

Too bad he wasn't black, or trans, or a professional athlete trying to smuggle llegal drugs. If so, biden would do everything possible- even if it meant compromising global security to get him free

Meanwhile in our country we literally let people from other countries go hours later. Especially whenever someone has a legitimate reason why this happened

What kind of idiot leaves ammunition in your suitcase?

Using the emotional-angle about gawd and the suffering kids.🤣

Well now. Exactly who is to blame for that?🤔🤣

There are a few of these stories now. What striking similarity do all of these stories have?

All white guys from the U.S. A. that hunt animals for fun.

Sulphur, OK is strongly conservative. Murray County, Oklahoma is very conservative. Oklahoma is very conservative.

Fox news does not care about you OK

Our State Department is a joke. They are not here to serve the American people.

No empathy for this guy. He left live rounds in his travel bag??
Unless he can afford Alec Baldwin's lawyer, he is getting what he gets.

You broke the law. You suffer the consequences.

People like this guy and others that "forget" that they had a weapon or ammo in their luggage are not doing 2A proponents any favors. Gun controllers use this kind of irresponsibility as evidence for why people shouldn't be allowed to have guns. I have been around guns for nearly 45 years. I have never forgotten, or even misplaced, a weapon or a single round of ammo.

People love their guns.

Follow the laws of foreign countries or face the consequences. Every country isn't full if guntards

Turks and Caicos are off my list. 😊

His carelessness was his undoing.

Don’t rely on the demorat like Biden to get Americans in need of help

God bless you and do miracles in your life 🙏

This happened in the PH before. It’s a set up by airport workers in connivance with the airport police, prosecutors & judges just to extort few hundred dollars to the travelers, mostly tourist.

Pretty ridiculous . It’s an unfortunate situation. Just another reason to stay home and not travel to foreign countries
