‘I just want to go home’: Oklahoman charged in Turks and Caicos for loose ammo | Dan Abrams Live 

You nailed it!

It has nothing to do with that. He didn’t check his duffle bag and had ammo in it from a hunting trip. He threw his stuff in it for the trip and this happened.

now they have a GOFUNDME for this guy over $250K

Americans are careless and live a "fast" life, mistakes are bound to happen and statistics reflects it, having a dogmatic approach to punishment is not the solution, hopefully this man face a fair judgement and learn from his mistake

Well don't you know you actually CAN travel with your gun???

​@@kalidilerious Not to the Turks you can't.

@@tishw4576 geeee.... anything else genius???

@@kalidilerious Nah. I'm good.

If only he was a sports player then we would get him back, but nope. Just a dude from Oklahoma

It is so easy for people to sit in their chairs and blast people for honest mistakes. If only YOU were in his place because accidents DO happen if you are in a hurry. I guess you have NEVER made any mistakes.

@@cag9871 An honest mistake is leaving the clothes in the drier. If you are a gun owner, you have a responsibility to NOT be careless.

And you should always know where your ammo is.

@@SpaceRanger187BG was in custody for 10 months. So I guess we can revisit this idiot next February. Since that will show he got equal treatment to BG.

It was in a checked bag, it had to be, mainly because in the US, you can travel with ammunition as long as as it's inside your checked luggage. There's no way TSA would let ammo thru via a carryon bag

Using this to judge and generalize Americans is ridiculous. What we can definitely get from your comment is that you don't read or listen. There is no indication that these people did not research the travel advisory. They simply grabbed a bag to the airport and the bag had some bullets that they did not know was there and that clearly wasn't caught by TSA in the US or even any of the scanners when they were entering Turks and Caicos. Sounds like these people made a mistake. People are human, humans make mistakes. If they had a gun that would be a whole different story but this guy had a few bullets. You think he took them there to sit on the beach and throw them at people or what?

@@BanterBangershahaha, exactly…. It doesn’t matter what country someone’s from some people just don’t have humanity left. They want everything to be a rule. 🙄 exhausting

It’s illegal in America. He didn’t do that on purpose. He would have gone to jail in America had they caught it. Are yall insane? Do you think he would have risked not being able to fly in his own country first?

does seem strange

Tax write off plus I'm sure they are part of a big church

Well I bet they wish it was a hoax considering he is facing 12 years in prison. Just shut up

​@@M-Marie89 Are you sure they didn't plan it ?

@@M-Marie89 12 years he deserves. so how about you shut up. That 200k won't do a thing for them with his wife being the sole provider of their custom built home they can't afford

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It's practically the norm to be "irresponsible" in America, so now we're holding people's habitual mistakes against them because they travel out of country?

No the government of other countries will do that as you see

​@@JohnnytNaturalyes. The "travel out of country" is kind of the kicker here.

@@JohnnytNatural yes.

also not every country have pa protest saudi

rude...we don't travel with guns...did you even listen to this ? He said he didn't remember having that ammo in that bag..Many people who travel a lot keep a bag packed, if it's with clothing for a different climate. I do, and always have.

@@lynnhubbard844 So do you throw ammo in those bags?

Where are you living? Certainly not in the USA, or are you blind to the open borders???????????????

@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036 So you're saying that you don't think illegals need to obey our laws? Personally, I may not have the right to force the illegals to obey our laws, but I I certainly believe they should have to.

@@AFloridaSon no, I am saying they are not following our laws and without consequences

100%

Hahaha the open borders and people that don’t have to pay taxes ? Those laws?? 😂

Since there was no firearm, seems like an honest mistake, Little Miss Perfect.

​@@capngeo2002leave the death culture at home

@@FD-qd7zy who died?

@@capngeo2002 ammo is not permitted either.

@@leighannsoles8432 yes that was obvious. However, Miss Obvious, the fact that there was only ammo and no gun made it more obvious that it was an honest mistake. But I know you will enjoy seeing a person incarcerated for 12 years due to a mistake.

Accidents happen good grief none of us is without flaws.

They want to get more money from gofundme

@@hersheyssmith2104 hahaha 💯

Let's say you work at a restaurant and the employee rules are to make sure every customer has a good dining experience. One day, you accidentally trip with a glass of water in your hand, and the water spills and gets a customer wet. The customer is upset because she is wet because of you. Your boss fires you for giving the customer a bad dining experience. You say, "But it was an accident." Your boss responds, "One of our rules is to make sure every customer has a good experience; you broke that rule, so you're fired." How do you feel about that? Was the punishment just or unjust? Does the punishment need to be tailored to your intentions or is it correct to respond to accidents and evil intentions with the same punishment?

@YeahBuoy I understand for Americans small mistakes usually get wrist slaps but that's not how the rest of the world works. Go to Bali and "accidentally" pack a joint and get a life sentence or death. Was it an accident? Sure. Does it make a difference for the country and laws YOU chose to go to? Nope. Don't travel if you believe you're entitled to wrist slaps.

@@dawnbrookes426 You make a good point. But my goodness I hope that's not the actual punishment for accidentally bringing a joint to Bali :O Is that really what happens over there?

Did you listen or just comment? He said he didn't know it was in the bag.

@@sweetnsalty4728 Why did he not check his bags when packing them. Still embarrassing.

@@bbloodyangel1 I have bags semi packed for travel and then throw in stuff last minute

@@lynnhubbard844 but do you throw gun ammo in last minute

@@lynnhubbard844 Somehow I try to remember NOT to throw ammo in my bag for travel in state and out of state though.

Or at all

@@FD-qd7zy Touche'!

I do.

Entitled Americans.

😂🤣

Having ammo lying around doesn’t have anything to do with being a responsible gun owner. This is a terrible mistake.

@mrich9654 It's called TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. He/they CHOSE to be IRRESPONSIBLE. They effd around and found out. They played stupid games and are now winning their stupid prizes. "Terrible mistake" is BS. Prisons all around the world are stuffed to the gills with people who have made "terrible mistakes." And they all serve their time regardless. If you own weapons and ammo then you ARE RESPONSIBLE and need to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!! Actions have consequences!!! Failure to take action has consequences. He/they broke the law and committed a crime. Crime has consequences. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!! if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to take ammunition out of your bag, if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to even check your bag for ammunition or a weapon, and if you CHOOSE TO TRAVEL to a country where bringing in ammunition is ILLEGAL, and if you CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT of that country's laws, then you should EXPECT to suffer THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR ACTIONS and your FAILURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. It's so gross to come on TV with this weepy attitude that something unjust and unfair is happening and that everyone else in the world should pull strings to fix it for them. These people need to GROW THE HELL UP and learn what it means to TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!

@mrich9654 They weren't busted for having ammo lying around their house -- don't be ridiculous.

@@mrich9654 you don’t do those stupid mistakes with ammunition.

@@sarcasticnews1195 Well said. 100% correct

They found the ammo on their way out of the country.

That is what I got outta this - great job TSA. Where is the interview with them?

I’m not sure if you’re correct or not. It could be that the TSA didn’t catch it because they were on the checked luggage. You are allowed to take ammunition on your checked luggage. Not only that, I’ve taken ammunition and an actual gun on my checked luggage. But when they were leaving the island their customs agents might check all your luggage right there in front of you, where the TSA just basically runs it through to make sure there’s no bombs in it.

what? You have to be joking with that idiotic statement.

@@lynnhubbard844 it’s sarcasm to DA’s statement at the end of the clip.

This has nothing to do with Biden.

@@tishw4576 Just like Brittany Griner had nothing to do with Biden.......

@@Mocha4Man Especially when it's perfectly legal to put ammo and guns in your checked baggage. www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition#:~:text=Ammunition%20is%20prohibited%20in%20carry,be%20transported%20in%20checked%20baggage.

You better never leave the US then because you will be arrested at every airport in this world when they find ammo in your luggage.

Why not? If i break the law in the us would you say the same?

​@@mirrrie Have you never heard of an unjust punishment for accidentally breaking a law? Punishments are designed for actions with intent. When an action is not motivated by evil intent, the punishment needs to be tailored to the accident. This guy traveled without a gun and had no intention to harm anyone, had no intention to bring hunting ammo with him, but accidentally traveled with hunting ammo from a previous trip. Also considering the circumstance where the ammo was found by chance as opposed to him consciously handling it, and he had no way to discharge it, the 12 years in prison is an extremely excessive and inappropriate for such an accident.

​@@mirrrie Let's say you work at a restaurant and the employee rules are to make sure every customer has a good dining experience. One day, you accidentally trip with a glass of water in your hand, and the water spills and gets a customer wet. The customer is upset because she is wet because of you.

@@YeahBuoy it's only for poor Americans who break other laws.

@@mirrrie the degree of punishment should match the “ crime”.

That's how Biden likes it! This poor guy, but when you travel out of America know the laws

That has nothing to do with this situation. That country has laws. He broke the law. If you want to fix immigration issue here in American, then blame congress dems and republicans!!!vote!!

I hope you made these post when Brittany Griner was held.

@@Sachi52 why would you assume I didn’t? Her punishment didn’t fit the crime either and I’m glad she’s back. Why does one person being held unjustly make you want that for someone else’s accident?

I will point out the comment section of all these videos is much harder on this couple than I thought. My reaction was one of deep sympathy for them. And then thinking that the lot was too strict. But so many people are criticizing them for being irresponsible. I actually don’t think is that irresponsible. I don’t think bullets are a big issue. And mistakes of all kinds happen in life. But like I said, I wish I knew what this couple was like when other people make mistakes and how they are politically. Maybe I shouldn’t use the word politically, but often times people have certain political persuasions are less empathetic and more “law and order“ (supposedly, depending on who it is that they want held accountable).

And I hate to talk about politics all the time, but $169,000 from go fund me, I would like to know if those are conservative people or more liberal people who are more empathetic. But I want to exclude people from his hometown and state, because all the tile people donate because they feel a connection with you because of geography. I want to know people outside of Okla., what are their political breakdowns. Obviously I will never know that, but I wish I did. It’d would be interesting.

He broke the law.. if i break the law in the US no one would care if it was an accident or not. You certainly wouldn't

Before 2022 the island usually allow for tourists to just pay a fine if they got caught with guns or ammos at security. However since then the law has change. Now even tourists could get put in prison for 12 years if they get caught the same way so to make an example of due to the new law.

@@mirrrie People break the law all the time in the USA. It's illegal to cross our borders but most illegal aliens are released and allowed to remain in the USA. Liberal DA's are not prosecuting serious crimes in the US. Robbery, assault, etc. But I'm pretty sure someone in the US would have more common sense and mercy than to put someone in prison for 12 years for something that was unintentional and an accident.

Nope. The law is clear.

@@spacenerd9499 The Law is clear but 12 years for an accident is outrageous and ridiculous. I hope you receive the same mercy as you are showing to this man. You display not only a lack of compassion but a lack of simple common sense. We don't put people in jail for a simple mistake. That's insane and unjust. I hope people boycott these islands.

@@orphenocou4742 oh yeah, the right is so prejudiced still

Don’t play stupid games and you won’t win stupid prizes 🤦‍♂️

How is it sad? They haven’t chopped off his ears or anything, he’s not behind bars (is under house arrest on the island)… it all sounds rather cushy to me - at least for now.
