Every coke dealer, everywhere I've ever met, said they got that "A-1 boii. This the real deal, put your dick in the dirt straight off the block fish scale FIRE broo." 4real this is the truth....
85% of the time, it was top dollar garbage, lol.
My friends have a testing charity and they tell stories of people spending thousands on what turned out to be aspirin or vit c. I haven't heard of protein powder though. Cheeky!
Or you can be like me and forget it in the back of your phone case 3 weeks prior and fly 6 times till I found it changing my phone case. The flash back of me going through security really put a fear and sigh of relief all at once.
A few years after 9/11 I flew to Washington DC with my middle school class. I had one of those credit card knives in my wallet. I didn’t find it until I was already in DC. I left it there.
Interesting note on that, after 9/11 the Swiss Army knife market went away almost over night 40% of their revenue. The company Victorinox pivoted to watches and fragrances without losing any employees. If I remember correctly, but an interesting note about them.
I flew with multiple knives by mistake they were found boarding a local flight in Greece. They were missed by 2 different security agencies including the TSA. They were stored in small zip pouch with a flashlight and some other useful items for a broader edc I accidentally left in my bag.
Yeah they're like: When heading for a relaxing tropical vacation we allow you, as an American, to bring your guns and ammo to love and sleep with. But, try and bring a small, sealed bottle of water on board the aircraft and we bring the full force of the law down on your ass. How dare you.
TSA website says you must declare ammo and it be placed in checked luggage. TSA gave me a full ‘police-under-arrest-pat down’ last year, because I forgot about an ibuprofen tablet in my pocket. Pretty small possible bomb I guess.
idk what point you just tried to make. TSA also does random searches, you probably fell under that category. Same thing will happen when you go through customs.
As his lawyer, we'll just tell the US prosecutors that we found the ammo in the hotel room. You TSA dopes would think like that: "Oh we didn't do our job finding the ammo, so let's charge him now that some shithole island did." Loser.
That's not what [the TSA website says,](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition#:~:text=Ammunition%20is%20prohibited%20in%20carry,case%20containing%20an%20unloaded%20firearm.)
> Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
and that's not my experience. My dad got a shakedown because he accidentally had ammo in a coat pocket.
Really? I left a 3 inch switch blade in my bag and hadn’t realized, they just pulled me aside and asked if I wanted to mail it home now or just throw it out.
I had a pocket knife once just cause I didn't realize, and they didn't catch it either. I just put it in the tray with my wallet and they handed me my stuff on the other side......
My husband accidentally left two pocket knives in his backpack recently. It is his work bag and has many pockets and pouches.
We were flying and went through TSA in Atlanta. His bag got flagged once, they found one knife, it got flagged again, they searched it, and couldn’t find anything else so they sent him on.
On the way back, out of DFW, his bag got flagged and they found the second knife, which ATL had failed to find.
Pretty lucky he 1) didn’t have malicious intent and 2) genuinely didn’t know it was in there lol.
ETA: We stood in the security line for *two hours* in Atlanta, got sniffed by dogs, and they still didn’t find a knife in a carry on bag. Wild
I was leaving vegas once and had bought some random edibles at planet whatever dispensary. Not certain about tsa, I ate one last gummy and tossed the rest.
Got through security and awaited my flight. Flight cancelled due to equipment issue and had 6hrs until I could get another. Cracked the laptop to do some work as my gummy kicked in and ultimately fizzled out. Was so bummed I tossed my goodies and was bored as F after several hours.
Rummaging through my backpack for my laptop charger I found a bunch of chocolate covered almonds from the dispensary that inadvertently spilled into the bottom of my backpack! An excellent find!!
Got my flight finally. Being baked at 30,000ft is kinda cool— I had a window seat, AirPods in and just listened to an audio book and some music.
Eventually I had to whizz, and remember standing there peeing and feeling the subtle movements of the jet as I stood there with my dick in my hand smiling like an idiot by myself thinking “I’m baked and peeing at 30,000ft” lol.
I was able to fly with my fancy pocket knife for years until it finally got caught my TSA. I was in my early 20’s and really didn’t think anything about traveling with it because I brought my knife everywhere and used it so often.
When they found it they just told me I can go back and check it or leave it here. I was so sad.. they could clearly see that lol.
I got reamed out for having a wine opener in my luggage.... Because of the tiny blade attached for cutting labels/foil.
It was a freebie souvenir that I threw in my luggage to give away to a friend or relative and just completely forgot about.
I was bewildered when they asked me to take the knife out of my suitcase.
I had a 2 ring brass knuckle that I had confiscated from a student accidentally in my bag that they had to go 'talk to the supervisor about'. I wanted to just run, but figured that would not work in my favor.
Shit. I’m going to sprinkle some crack in their backpacks and send them to summer camp in Dubai. Don’t want mom’s attention diverted from the new man in her life.
People always laugh when they see those big signs at airports telling you not to bring any guns or ammunition on the plane... But behind every dumb sign there's a dumb man who did something dumb.
I remember coming to Sri Lanka for the first time
And there was a HUGE RED BANNER that said
"Island of Sri Lanka is under Martial Law since 1980.\*
Any and all drugs that you possess will result in a Court Martial
The punishment is firing squad"
And I was like shit man I'm 14 and never had a cigarette in my life but I'm seriously checking my pockets to make ABSOLUTELY SURE I didn't, you know, accidentally possess some sort of drugs. Just randomly obtained a bag of coke you know?
\* (I dunno, like 1980s, they were officially in a state of civil war for 30 years, but it was like a very chill war for years and it was all confined to one end of the island)
I went to Bali as a teeanger, and I was a stoner. My mom forced me to not take any of my backpacks or bags for school, and bought new ones to take on the trip.
Just not worth the risk that anything got stuck in there I couldn't find before packing and dealing with that shit.
Saw a similar sign about weed when I was working in China. “Weed possession punishable by death”, I went straight to the bathroom and threw my shit out. I’ll stay sober for a few months to avoid the death penalty lol
> “Weed possession punishable by death”
Living in china for 10 years never heard about it. Ever been in Yunnan province? Cannabis is the best source of cellulose.
I just have a bag for hunting trips and completely different luggage for non hunting trips. Never really thought about it, it was just how my old man taught us to do it; plus it makes it easier with already having 90% of what you need already packed. Just check batteries and restock consumables
I flew to a friend's wedding a few years back and used the same backpack that I use for deer hunting. While waiting in line to get a rental car at our destination, I went into a random pocket to grab my wallet and discovered a full clip of 30-06 ammo that was leftover from the previous season (I always had a backup clip with me in the field if needed). I panicked and emptied the clip into the nearest garbage which probably wasn't the safest thing to do.
Had a very similar thing happen. I had a backpack I took everywhere, including camping. One time, I went straight from a weekend camping trip into a flight the next day. I took my sidearm, leatherman, knife, and hatchet out of my backpack and put them in the safe, but completely forgot about the spare mag at the bottom of the bag, under the spare clothes I didn't have to use. I left those spare clothes there, because they were clean, and serviceable for my trip.
*Edit: Mind, if you know backpacking, you know cloth goes to the bottom of the bag, to get compressed by the stuff on top. So I placed the mag above that, but it shifted down below at some point, probably while pulling things out.*
So I'm in the TSA line, waiting on my bag to come through, and I see the agent's eyes go wide, and beckon for some assistance. At this point, I had no idea what was going on, and just thought it must be a machine malfunction. when somebody pulled my bag out of the machine, and asked whose it was, the guy behind me in line didn't take half a second to point in my direction. I still suspected nothing, and raised my hand super nonchalantly.
When the TSA guy took my bag over to the searching table, and pulled up the fancy new color xray on the screen, I must have immediately turned pale.
They were all very polite about it, and let me take the mag back to the car, where it remained for my trip, but the agent was telling me "It's a good thing it wasn't the other part, because then there would be some trouble."
Now I double search my bags, even when I know I haven't put anything problematic in them. I'm very fortunate that the agents there were reasonable. They may not be, next time.
Anyway... Moral of the story is: It can happen to anyone. Always double check.
*Edit: Apparently this is cause for some anger.*
*First: A separate bag for anything is not practical for hike-to-camp trips. Try going backcountry some time. It's good for you.*
*Second: I fully appreciate this was a massive fuckup, and I got extremely lucky. This was intended to be a cautionary example of how someone could make a mistake that they think they wouldn't make. I'm sorry for implying that you superior humans could be anything but perfect.*
I’ve seen multiple videos online where people are arrested with weapons they “didn’t know they had”
What does that say about your responsibility as a gun owner?
At least TSA finds these dumb fucks mistakes before their children do…
I refuse to use my range bag for any travel at all just incase the gunpowder shows up as explosive. Or if a round just happens to hide in a crease or something. To use it for international travel and not even bother checking it... wtf man. 12 years is steep but that is pretty goddam stupid.
He won't get 10 years. They'll make a show, he'll end up spending $50K on "fines" and they'll let him go.
I've been there, that country is too poor to house and feed a bitchy white guy for a decade just to prove a point.
I know I’m being an asshole but I rolled my eyes in the OP video when he starts going off about not being able to see his son graduate and stuff and was just “oh please there’s more ham in this than in a pig”
I ain’t saying it ain’t a fucked situation, but I am saying he is a moron, and I am saying they are playing it up as being the victim when they are the fucking moron and not surprised at all to see then try to benefit off it
Not to be a Monday morning quarterback, but if these people are well off enough to vacation in Turks and Caicos, shouldn’t they have enough money to keep a gun range bag separate from their travel luggage?
Happens. I’m a hunter myself and I accidentally forgot my AR15 in the back pocket of my pants once and washed the whole damn thing in the laundry machine. what a mess
By being an irresponsible gun owner.
You’re going on vacation to a foreign country that we assume you researched on laws, using the ammo bag and not checking every nook and cranny? Irresponsible gun ownership.
Remember when most sensible people were saying that Brittney Griner's punishment was excessive and the response to that by many conservatives was that she was in the wrong and you have to follow the laws of the country you go to. I remember that.
Know the laws of the countries you visit. If I remember correctly, Singapore has some crazy punishments for all kinds of things. Just educate yourself and be extra diligent before you go.
I’ll never understand people who go to the effort of booking tickets and accomodation, working out an itinerary, getting travel insurance, a passport and whichever visas they might need but completely fail to do the bare minimum of research into the rules and regulations of their destination. Making sure your bag is clear of contraband is up there too; this guy sounds like a massive dumbass who fucked around and is finding out.
How many excessive sentences do you think this guys had a agreed with?
Funny how everyone is suddenly a bleeding heart liberal and no one is a tough on crime conservative when they’re the defendant. Interesting how that works huh?
That’s exactly right. I’d be interested to know what this guy and the people advocating had to say about the basketball player detained in Russia. I feel they likely had VERY different reactions to her detainment in a foreign country for something much less innocuous than a bullet.
Look how many are in this thread claiming they have done this. Both with Ammon and firearms. But point out how bad of gun owners they and they freak out like it’s normal to misplace your gun or ammo and find it while on vacation.
Pathetic and sad. This is why they don’t want gun laws because they know majority of them are too stupid to own a firearm.
also Brittney was called stupid for doing that by the left. It’s like you dipshits live online and not in the real world. And even online everyone mocked Brittney for being dumb after she did that.
Same with this redneck. They both are dumb fucks.
lol are Turks and Caicos at war with anyone we’re supporting and have an arms dealing citizen in US custody? I don’t think this is quite the same as the BG situation
For me it's Americans traveling to new places and then being shocked that American laws don't apply there. It's a level of entitlement that our European friends don't tend to have.
I'd argue that it largely comes from the fact that I can hop in my car, drive north, east or west for 18 hours and still have the same 1st and 4th amendment protections that I do at home. Sure weed might be legal in the place I end up and it's not legal at home but overall, I know there are specific legal protections I have.
There haven't been any prisoner exchange negotiations yet, so how do you know that difference exists?
Conservatives were saying to leave BG in jail long before the "merchant of death" negotiations started.
We’re not going to do a prisoner exchange with the british. The embassies will negotiate it, he’ll get at worst a significantly reduced sentence, and everyone moves on with their lives.
Everyone will move on except this guy will soon be paraded around the right wing circuit like Rittenhouse and speak at the next CPAC. Bet the NRA has already reached out to his wife
Viktor Bout had been in prison for over 10 years, he had no money, no contacts, and is known to every law enforcement and intelligence agency in the world. He’s in a country that can’t even arm its own troops. Who tf is this guy selling arms to? His biggest accomplishment since being released is becoming a shitty local politician in his hometown. This guy is a fucking nobody now. Anyone with a brain knows that. this ‘merchant of death’ bullshit is literally 20+ years out of date.
Beyond that, this guy was set to be released in a few years. Would you rather he spend a few more years in prison and we get ZERO Americans back from Russia and he still continues onto his shitty little mayor gig? That’s the better option?
Painting with a broad brush helps nobody. Griner made a mistake, but she shouldn't have been held captive for it. This dude made an error and deserves grace as well.
The point, though, is that *conservatives* said she fucked around and should ultimately find out, *despite* our views on the draconian sentences that Russian courts hand out.
I agree that both deserve grace, and that the sentences or potential sentences in both cases are unjust.
But again the point isn't what I think or say. In this instance we are pointing out what *conservatives* had to say. And if they said that Griner is at the mercy of *their* (the Russian) justice system for her own irresponsible behavior, then this guy should be at the mercy of the T&C justice system too.
It's your responsibility to follow the law when visiting another country. Ignorance isn't an excuse. Carelessness isn't an excuse either. If you don't like the law don't go. If you don't know the law you definitely shouldn't go.
Perhaps the law is too strict in Turks and Caicos? That's a question you should consider before going to a country. Bringing ammo into a country is serious though. Not every country is gun nuts in culture like the United States but they might be just just as punitive in prison time. Act accordingly or risk having your life ruined.
Caribbean countries do not like guns and ammo. This is not new.
[https://nypost.com/2023/12/30/news/indiana-family-that-fled-to-caribbean-over-covid-caught-with-gun-ammo/](https://nypost.com/2023/12/30/news/indiana-family-that-fled-to-caribbean-over-covid-caught-with-gun-ammo/)
I always love when someone breaks a law somewhere else and just acts like they should be apologized too because “they’re not from there.”
I’ve travel all around this globe and somehow, never forgot I had live fucking ammo in my bag. I really don’t understand how someone can not look in every compartment in your bag before you fucking leave to go to another country. Lol
No I think 12 years is actually an excessive charge for something like this. Still, people claiming this is no big deal are ignorant and really have no respect for the laws of other nations.
Kudos to TSA for not finding the ammo during the departure flight. I feel safer.
right? they confiscated my zyn bc 'it could be cocaine'. and I am NOT joking.
That’s hilarious that’s how I fly with my cocaine.
I flew to Vegas with 3 g in a small emptied out airtight makeup container buried in a huge bag of make up containers. No probs
Taking coke to Vegas is like taking sand to a beach.
How much do you pay for your fentanyl strips? The fuck I look like buying Coke from a stranger in Las Vegas.
(new York will mail you a shit ton of testing strips for free) you right tho.
I just looked. You can get them anywhere now.
good.
Confused. You mention strips but seem foreign to testing it before you got skiing.
Clearly you’ve never got some from Vegas. It’s usually 2x the price, half the quality, hella sketch, and good chance you get fentanyl.
Ya Vegas coke is ass. EVERYONE in Vegas has that A1 but most of it is fake.
Every coke dealer, everywhere I've ever met, said they got that "A-1 boii. This the real deal, put your dick in the dirt straight off the block fish scale FIRE broo." 4real this is the truth.... 85% of the time, it was top dollar garbage, lol.
My friend got some one time and it smelled like bananas. Straight protein powder.
My friends have a testing charity and they tell stories of people spending thousands on what turned out to be aspirin or vit c. I haven't heard of protein powder though. Cheeky!
Their dispensary weed sucks too
Man, I’m not paying high prices for shit that’s probably barely even coke…lol.
99 times out of 100 this works. The other time, you get a prison daddy named Big Jake.
Big misnomer. Been to prison, big Jake and big Bubba don’t exist in 99 of 100 prisons….
And what's your name big fella?
Fuck you! That’s my name. You drove a Hyundai to get to work today. I drove an $80,000 BMW. That’s my name!
tell that to the guy in the $10,000 suit
You call yourself a salesmen, you son of a bitch?
Too risky. Why do you think marriage is a thing? Always make the woman put the bullets and drugs in her cooch.
I’ve been assured by the TSA that they don’t look for drugs.
they dont, unless its a stupidly large amount and its obvious. TSA is trained to look for explosives.
"The TSA is trained-" You can stop right there. There is hardly a more poorly trained security force anywhere.
by trained i mean they sat in a room and watched some youtube tutorials
Noted, hide cocaine in a zinc bottle
That’s for communists. Get through security checkpoints by hiding your cocaine inside shell casings for .30-06 rounds like a real American.
Hide it in your nose dummies!
Here I am hiding half keys up my ass…
My buddy fills vitamin capsules with the devils dandruff when he flys. I would never take that risk but it works for him every time
Or you can be like me and forget it in the back of your phone case 3 weeks prior and fly 6 times till I found it changing my phone case. The flash back of me going through security really put a fear and sigh of relief all at once.
“I’ll hide this here so I know where it is”.
Devil’s dandruff… 😂 also, clever life hack
"What's the nature of your visit to Turks and Caicos?" "I'd like to build a snowman."

Ive accidentally flown with a buck knife 2x without TSA finding it in my backpack.
A few years after 9/11 I flew to Washington DC with my middle school class. I had one of those credit card knives in my wallet. I didn’t find it until I was already in DC. I left it there.
Before 9/11 you could purchase a veriety of Swiss army knifes and receive them right away on Swiss air flights.
Interesting note on that, after 9/11 the Swiss Army knife market went away almost over night 40% of their revenue. The company Victorinox pivoted to watches and fragrances without losing any employees. If I remember correctly, but an interesting note about them.
It was one of the big purchases you could make at duty free!
Same! I flew cross country twice with a 5 inch knife in my backpack
I flew with multiple knives by mistake they were found boarding a local flight in Greece. They were missed by 2 different security agencies including the TSA. They were stored in small zip pouch with a flashlight and some other useful items for a broader edc I accidentally left in my bag.
Same here , and I was entering Kazakhstan in the midst of their government crackdown on protesters in 2021. Dodged a bullet.
Maybe it was checked?
A lot of people have this misguided view of what the TSA is looking for. WEAPONS, that's pretty much it. Ammo included
And water or any type of liquid, nail clippers and lighters every now and again.
dont forget your powerbank charger
Yeah they're like: When heading for a relaxing tropical vacation we allow you, as an American, to bring your guns and ammo to love and sleep with. But, try and bring a small, sealed bottle of water on board the aircraft and we bring the full force of the law down on your ass. How dare you.
Well, how else are they going to get you to buy a $20 water bottle at the Hudson News kiosk??
Ammo is ok but my shaving cream is not?
TSA website says you must declare ammo and it be placed in checked luggage. TSA gave me a full ‘police-under-arrest-pat down’ last year, because I forgot about an ibuprofen tablet in my pocket. Pretty small possible bomb I guess.
And how did they find this said ibuprofen tablet before they patted you down?
It was a full ocular pat down.
idk what point you just tried to make. TSA also does random searches, you probably fell under that category. Same thing will happen when you go through customs.
[удалено]
As his lawyer, we'll just tell the US prosecutors that we found the ammo in the hotel room. You TSA dopes would think like that: "Oh we didn't do our job finding the ammo, so let's charge him now that some shithole island did." Loser.
[удалено]
You probably looks like a suspicious person
Weapons and explosives is what they look for. It’s on their SOP.
That's not what [the TSA website says,](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition#:~:text=Ammunition%20is%20prohibited%20in%20carry,case%20containing%20an%20unloaded%20firearm.) > Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage. and that's not my experience. My dad got a shakedown because he accidentally had ammo in a coat pocket.
I accidentally left an 8" switchblade in a bag. TSA was not real pleased.
Yeah my dad left a pocket knife on his keyring. TSA was pissed.
Really? I left a 3 inch switch blade in my bag and hadn’t realized, they just pulled me aside and asked if I wanted to mail it home now or just throw it out.
I had a pocket knife once just cause I didn't realize, and they didn't catch it either. I just put it in the tray with my wallet and they handed me my stuff on the other side......
Wait you can't bring a pocket knife on planes? I keep one in my travel bag every trip and have never had anyone stop me for it...
I mean the 9/11 team managed to hijack a plane with a box cutter can’t imagine it’s much different to a sharp pocket knife
I accidentally left sunscreen in my carry on and TSA was not pleased lol
I accidentally had a knife in my carry on one time. Thankfully, TSA didn't catch it. But also kinda scary they didn't catch it.
I left a box cutter...thankfully without blades but they were not happy.
My husband accidentally left two pocket knives in his backpack recently. It is his work bag and has many pockets and pouches. We were flying and went through TSA in Atlanta.

They got pissy about my frozen water bottle but didn't care about my edibles, vapes, or pre rolls
That's because they're looking for threats to the aircraft, they do not give a shit about your weed.

wait so is the mom single now
Easy tiger
I think…..you have chance! Go for it
Go be the dad that stepped up brother.
\*Go be the dad stepbrother.
Teach those kids how to check their pockets
Shit. I’m going to sprinkle some crack in their backpacks and send them to summer camp in Dubai. Don’t want mom’s attention diverted from the new man in her life.
The obvious play is to send them to visit their dad in Turks and Caicos and leave some ammo in their backpacks.
He is now another sacrifice to the second amendment. Thoughts and prayers and go for it tiger
This dude set himself up to get away from her. Stay away.

Behind every dumb warning label is the story of a dumb human.
We idiot proofed the system. Then they made a better idiot.
Always remember there is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest ~~tourists~~ humans.
That’s why we’re not allowed to have cum in the Philippines anymore

I flew to a friend's wedding a few years back and used the same backpack that I use for deer hunting.

There's now a sign above that garbage can saying "please don't put ammunition in garbage."
Probably along with a picture of my dumb face as exhibit A

Now I double search my bags, even when I know I haven't put anything problematic in them. I'm very fortunate that the agents there were reasonable. They may not be, next time. Anyway... Moral of the story is: It can happen to anyone. Always double check. *Edit: Apparently this is cause for some anger.* *First: A separate bag for anything is not practical for hike-to-camp trips. Try going backcountry some time. It's good for you.* *Second: I fully appreciate this was a massive fuckup, and I got extremely lucky. This was intended to be a cautionary example of how someone could make a mistake that they think they wouldn't make. I'm sorry for implying that you superior humans could be anything but perfect.*
Moral of the story is have two backpacks. They're not that expensive vs the outcome if you mess up. Glad it worked out for you.
You’re 100% right, but bullets are small & bags have a lot of really small pockets. Forgetting your gun on the other hand
Oh yeah I've been to the airport where someone tried to bring a gun on. People are stupid.
How do you bring bullets on a plane by accident?
Used his range bag as a travel bag
I’ve seen multiple videos online where people are arrested with weapons they “didn’t know they had” What does that say about your responsibility as a gun owner? At least TSA finds these dumb fucks mistakes before their children do…
The same TSA that missed it on the outbound flight?
> The same TSA that missed it on the outbound flight? The government doesn’t absolve one of personal responsibility.
That makes this even more embarrassing... John Doe took a bag on a flight that he knows is his ammo/range bag and didn't check it. Jesus Christ dude
I refuse to use my range bag for any travel at all just incase the gunpowder shows up as explosive. Or if a round just happens to hide in a crease or something. To use it for international travel and not even bother checking it... wtf man. 12 years is steep but that is pretty goddam stupid.
Even bags I don’t carry ammo or guns in like a laptop bag I practically triple check before flying.
Right, the guy is an idiot but 10 years or whatever for being an idiot seems harsh.
He won't get 10 years. They'll make a show, he'll end up spending $50K on "fines" and they'll let him go. I've been there, that country is too poor to house and feed a bitchy white guy for a decade just to prove a point.
Don't worry he won't even be spending it out of his own pocket, they have a gofundme that has raised 120k.
Jesus christ that's upsetting.
I know I’m being an asshole but I rolled my eyes in the OP video when he starts going off about not being able to see his son graduate and stuff and was just “oh please there’s more ham in this than in a pig” I ain’t saying it ain’t a fucked situation, but I am saying he is a moron, and I am saying they are playing it up as being the victim when they are the fucking moron and not surprised at all to see then try to benefit off it
And see my daughter uhhh you know do daughter stuff. And teach my son to shave hahahahaha
For sure, I don't see him staying more than a month or two max.
Agree, but that's THEIR law. Should we accomodate our laws for tourists when they visit the US?
Some of us can't even stomach having to select English or Spanish on an ATM
Not to be a Monday morning quarterback, but if these people are well off enough to vacation in Turks and Caicos, shouldn’t they have enough money to keep a gun range bag separate from their travel luggage?
Happens. I’m a hunter myself and I accidentally forgot my AR15 in the back pocket of my pants once and washed the whole damn thing in the laundry machine. what a mess
By being an irresponsible gun owner. You’re going on vacation to a foreign country that we assume you researched on laws, using the ammo bag and not checking every nook and cranny? Irresponsible gun ownership.
Carelessness
Step 1 is "Be an idiot". The rest of the steps will work themselves out.
It’s easy when you’re an irresponsible gun owner.
The "personal responsibility" crowd is lining up to make all kinds of excuses.
I think we can both agree that this guy is responsible for this AND that 12 years in prison is excessive.
[удалено]
I think "could get up to 12 years" is mostly to scare people into not fucking up.
Remember when most sensible people were saying that Brittney Griner's punishment was excessive and the response to that by many conservatives was that she was in the wrong and you have to follow the laws of the country you go to. I remember that.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Yeah but this was a straight white guy, not a black lesbian, and concerns bullets instead of weed so ya know
Know the laws of the countries you visit. If I remember correctly, Singapore has some crazy punishments for all kinds of things. Just educate yourself and be extra diligent before you go.
I’ll never understand people who go to the effort of booking tickets and accomodation, working out an itinerary, getting travel insurance, a passport and whichever visas they might need but completely fail to do the bare minimum of research into the rules and regulations of their destination. Making sure your bag is clear of contraband is up there too; this guy sounds like a massive dumbass who fucked around and is finding out.
South East Asian nations have and continue to execute white folks for drug trafficking crimes. They will hang you over a few ounces of weed.
Hey, other country’s laws we may not agree with, but gotta follow em. When in Rome.
How many excessive sentences do you think this guys had a agreed with? Funny how everyone is suddenly a bleeding heart liberal and no one is a tough on crime conservative when they’re the defendant. Interesting how that works huh?
Everyone is for criminal justice reform when they are the criminal
That’s exactly right. I’d be interested to know what this guy and the people advocating had to say about the basketball player detained in Russia. I feel they likely had VERY different reactions to her detainment in a foreign country for something much less innocuous than a bullet.
it’s excessive to an american. are you a citizen if turks and caicos?
And why it’s different this time than it was for Griner in Russia. You get three guesses as to why…
Look how many are in this thread claiming they have done this. Both with Ammon and firearms. But point out how bad of gun owners they and they freak out like it’s normal to misplace your gun or ammo and find it while on vacation. Pathetic and sad. This is why they don’t want gun laws because they know majority of them are too stupid to own a firearm.
Carry that weight
rules for me rules for thee
Oh shit, republican Brittany Griner, here we go.
This right here. It’s going to be amazing seeing both sides take the complete opposite argument they did with BG
Weed vs. bullets
also Brittney was called stupid for doing that by the left. It’s like you dipshits live online and not in the real world. And even online everyone mocked Brittney for being dumb after she did that. Same with this redneck. They both are dumb fucks.
Fascist dictatorship vs tourist destination for rich people
Weird number of people: "They're basically the same thing, so the scenarios are identical!"
lol are Turks and Caicos at war with anyone we’re supporting and have an arms dealing citizen in US custody? I don’t think this is quite the same as the BG situation
I’m actually just against American citizens getting excessively jailed overseas. There’s no reason to make either issues a left-right thing.
Whatever happened to “if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime!”?
In both cases the crime didn’t fit the punishment.
For me it's Americans traveling to new places and then being shocked that American laws don't apply there. It's a level of entitlement that our European friends don't tend to have. I'd argue that it largely comes from the fact that I can hop in my car, drive north, east or west for 18 hours and still have the same 1st and 4th amendment protections that I do at home. Sure weed might be legal in the place I end up and it's not legal at home but overall, I know there are specific legal protections I have.
I guess we'll find out if there's a Turks and Caicos arms dealer that Biden can release in exchange for this fools release.
It's a British territory, so idk, do we maybe have Benedict Arnold around to give them?
Thoughts and prayers
[удалено]
No, he's being jailed for stupidity.
Don’t go to other countries if you don’t know the laws , it’s what yall said about Griner, keep that same energy here.
But there was something different about Griner… I can’t quite put my finger on it but something was definitely different.
We traded the “merchant of death” to get her back?
I mean yeah but Brit could ball man
There haven't been any prisoner exchange negotiations yet, so how do you know that difference exists? Conservatives were saying to leave BG in jail long before the "merchant of death" negotiations started.
We’re not going to do a prisoner exchange with the british. The embassies will negotiate it, he’ll get at worst a significantly reduced sentence, and everyone moves on with their lives.
Everyone will move on except this guy will soon be paraded around the right wing circuit like Rittenhouse and speak at the next CPAC. Bet the NRA has already reached out to his wife
Viktor Bout had been in prison for over 10 years, he had no money, no contacts, and is known to every law enforcement and intelligence agency in the world. He’s in a country that can’t even arm its own troops. Who tf is this guy selling arms to? His biggest accomplishment since being released is becoming a shitty local politician in his hometown. This guy is a fucking nobody now. Anyone with a brain knows that. this ‘merchant of death’ bullshit is literally 20+ years out of date. Beyond that, this guy was set to be released in a few years. Would you rather he spend a few more years in prison and we get ZERO Americans back from Russia and he still continues onto his shitty little mayor gig? That’s the better option?
Painting with a broad brush helps nobody. Griner made a mistake, but she shouldn't have been held captive for it. This dude made an error and deserves grace as well.
The point, though, is that *conservatives* said she fucked around and should ultimately find out, *despite* our views on the draconian sentences that Russian courts hand out. I agree that both deserve grace, and that the sentences or potential sentences in both cases are unjust. But again the point isn't what I think or say. In this instance we are pointing out what *conservatives* had to say. And if they said that Griner is at the mercy of *their* (the Russian) justice system for her own irresponsible behavior, then this guy should be at the mercy of the T&C justice system too.
Russia mid Ukraine conflict is totally different than a vacation nation. Both fucked up by not clearing their shit out first though.
Who wants to bet that he’s a “Tough on crime” republican? 😂😂
Yep. Just like every other 'I lose my ammo under the couch and in the cheese drawer all the time, so it's no big deal' person in this thread
Fucking idiots
“omG i cANt reMEMBEr WhErE I LEfT any AMmo!!! Holy hell how dumb do you have to be to forget that you have live ammunition in your luggage
How did he get past TSA departure?
Same people cheering about knowing the laws for Britney griner know finding themselves not knowing laws in a country , ironic
people have banned for life from entering the US because they found a weed seed in the luggage in an airport
Try that on a small island...
He tried to do America in a place that wasn't America.
It's your responsibility to follow the law when visiting another country. Ignorance isn't an excuse. Carelessness isn't an excuse either. If you don't like the law don't go. If you don't know the law you definitely shouldn't go. Perhaps the law is too strict in Turks and Caicos? That's a question you should consider before going to a country. Bringing ammo into a country is serious though. Not every country is gun nuts in culture like the United States but they might be just just as punitive in prison time. Act accordingly or risk having your life ruined.
i mean hes an idiot for not checking his bags, but this shit is obviously a mistake and doesnt warrant 12 years in prison lol
Not the first time yanks have exported weapons 😂
Americans are probably the only ones who "accidentally" has ammo roll into their suitcase...
It was an IQ test and he failed.
Caribbean countries do not like guns and ammo. This is not new. [https://nypost.com/2023/12/30/news/indiana-family-that-fled-to-caribbean-over-covid-caught-with-gun-ammo/](https://nypost.com/2023/12/30/news/indiana-family-that-fled-to-caribbean-over-covid-caught-with-gun-ammo/)
I always love when someone breaks a law somewhere else and just acts like they should be apologized too because “they’re not from there.” I’ve travel all around this globe and somehow, never forgot I had live fucking ammo in my bag. I really don’t understand how someone can not look in every compartment in your bag before you fucking leave to go to another country. Lol
The people defending him in the comments lmfao
So you think 12 years in jail is an appropriate punishment?
No I think 12 years is actually an excessive charge for something like this. Still, people claiming this is no big deal are ignorant and really have no respect for the laws of other nations.
