Ignorance is no excuse.
No, it's not an excuse, but CAN be the REASON! And laziness.
The baseball player said it himself, "You're in a completely different culture, a different country." Different countries have different laws. As a visitor, it's your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the basic laws of the countries that you plan to visit. It's also your responsibility to ensure your own baggage contains no contraband before you go abroad.
And he said it from the perspective of a victim of that country or culture, when reality is he is completely in the wrong in this situation he created for himself.
So a place with a fraction of our resources can catch something we can’t? The news needs to ask the right questions.
Less people in and out
That if he had it in his carry on bag when he left.
Maybe we got the tech
Exactly! Something similar happened with my dad. We went on vacation (in the US) and it was on our trip back home that they found a loaded clip in his carryon. They didn’t catch it in the first airport. He didn’t know it was in his bag in a side pocket.
Who said they didn’t catch it?
If you don't know where your gun is or you can't figure out where your ammunition is perhaps you really shouldn't own a gun.
Why would he be looking for his ammo when going on a non hunting vacation?
@@mizzury54 I don't know maybe you should just know where ammunition is or take into account that you have store ammunition in that bag before. Guns under ammunition are not toys they are a responsibility
@@mizzury54your right he shouldn't be looking for his ammunition, but he should have taken it out and properly stored it after his previous hunting trip. Ammunition is not a bag of pencils/clothes that you forget about in your luggage. Imagine if it was a gun that was loaded and his kid got a hold of it after finding it in the luggage. That's the problem here.
@@the_nguy9123Imagine if it was a gun? It wasn't a gun. The ammunition doesn't do anything without a gun.
@wjbarricklow so Britney Griner deserved prison time for weed and he doesn't? 😂
How do you accidentally pack ammunition? His regrets are about not being able to see his kids grow up. He doesn't verbally recognize his wrongdoing & how it threatens the safety & well-being of another country. So American & so self-centered. If we had someone from another country come for vacation with bullets, we'd be just as concerned. I have no sympathy for them.
& I don't want to make this a race thing. But if minorities did something similar here in America, people would be freaking out calling it a terrorist attempt & it'd probably be exploited politically to scare U.S. citizens. These laws exist for a reason.
I mean the Brittany Griner incident is clear evidence of the duality of USA opinions compared to this incident. Both were wrong and both got caught and both have to face (or did face) the consequences of their actions by each individual country. Agree or not with their laws, they are THEIR laws. In saying that, Russia used the opportunity to politicise it, because they’re corrupt AF, by giving her a 9 year sentence for an offence that ordinarily carries 15 days.
Totally
Is someone not safe with ammo in there? Aren’t they only useful with a gun?
@ChrisCupcake3 the thing is it would totally be about race if a minority did it and everyone knows that - they just dont want to admit it
Agreed. I'm disgusted by the way the news coverage is making them look like innocent victims of the system who made a tiny little itty bitty mistake.
No, it's a huge mistake w huge consequences. They lack self-awareness, clearly. & that's how they ended up in this situation to begin with.
Basically they don't have a defense, they just broke the law.
Ok but how did this ammo get thru TSA in the U.S?? Firearms and ammo have to be declared. You can't just bring it in your luggage

@@chrischann484 I live close an airport, in USA, that has had multiple incidents of 'accidental' discharges of weapons in checked baggage. Each of those 'responsible' gun owners were allowed to continue on their travels. Maybe if USA enforced restriction of firearms and ammo, on air flights, US Citizens would be even more responsible with their guns and ammo. Many "regular family' men never commit a crime and claim "honest mistake".
In other countries anyone found with guns or ammunition is considered a criminal, possession of a firearm is a serious offence...
Sorry folks, when outside of the United States you are entering a different world. Talk tough at home, then whine and cry when held accountable.

www.tsa.gov/news/press/factsheets/firearms-and-ammunition
Oops! 😂😂😂 Maybe don’t take ammo everywhere you go.
Guess he should have checked the suitcase before packing it at home. How do you not see it?
Notice the pattern - usual suspects!
Turks and Caicos used to just fine Americans for this. It must've happened so much that they changed the penalty to jail time. Maybe this case will teach Americans they can't do whatever they want wherever they go. -An American
It will certainly get Turks and Caicos a travel advisory and fewer tourist dollars. which they might need to fight the drug gangs that are murdering people all over the island recently.
Why would it get a travel advisory or ban for someone's ignorance . Just because you think you have privilege doesn't mean you can disregard other countries' laws .
Im guessing the GoFundMe will come next , folks always expecting others to pay for their stupidity.
Exactly 😂
@@MamacitaOf2 FFS!!! 😤🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ They need to LEARN by facing consequences…..these ppl have too much money!
Like taking out student loans and not paying them back.
the cult is united, of course he will get money. even extra from the hard working patriots.

Darwin Awarded. There’s no excuse for people being this ignorant and disrespectful to other countries.
a ziplock bag of ammunition, come on man
Hefty, Hefty, Hefty
How does one use the same bag for travel and hunting?
How do you wear the same shoes when going to the grocery store or the movies?
@@JohnDoe-pk2hs Because it's common sense?
@@timmartin7664wooosh that went right over your head
@@444onthefloor Not really. lol
@@JohnDoe-pk2hs I'd have to disagree, pretty lame comparison, just saying.
How does anyone "accidentally bring ammunition" on a flight? I mean, he mentioned "what a bonehead move"... well... yeah. There are consequences for such mistakes. Especially when the people who goof up... are wealthy, entitled, etc. ;)
HE SAID - that he had the ammunition in his bags from a previous trip where he had gone hunting - and he hadn't thought to take it out for the next trip.
Both guys said that. They didn't have guns with them - just ammunition in their bags from a previous hunting trip.

@@BobSmith-dk8nwit's odd and highly suspect that TSA didn't pick those ammunition during security screening here in the states. Do they let that slide with no questions asked? 👀
@BobSmith-dk8nw
No excuse. You are responsible for both your luggage when traveling and knowledge of the laws of the country you are visiting. If you can't be responsible and respectful, stay your stupid butt at home.
@@BobSmith-dk8nw Still against the law.
@@BobSmith-dk8nw So he packed his bags with his eyes closed? Or did he pack it with never actually touching the bag to place items in it? I leave jive in my suitcases from previous trips but I know it's there. I saw it when I packed. I felt it when I moved things around to place other things in it.
So how did the TSA fail to catch this when they were leaving the country?
Cause it wasn't there 🥴 lol
It's amazing how other countries take guns and ammo so seriously! American gun culture is truly sick.
Law and order.
Got to be extra careful about what you take in other countries. Some of them ‘execute’ harsher punishments.
I am 100% sure each time I board a flight my bags are clear of anything illegal or not authorized to be in my bag. How do I know, because I am an adult man who is responsible. I would never make a careless stupid decision like this. This man’s life and his family’s life could be ruined because of a dumb decision he made. The real world has consequences. This ain’t Oklahoma where you can talk your way out of it.
This is why other countries tell America that gun ownership needs to be a privilege not a right. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this and the response is always “my bad that’s a bag I use for hunting”. Then be responsible. When you get home from your hunting trip, all your ammo should be accounted for and placed in a your gun safe. All these people with kids just leaving backpacks with bullets around the house. Ya’ll are crazy.
The whole trip he didn't notice bullets in their bag? They packed their bags, and it's their responsibility to read the laws of the country they will visit, and make sure they are compliant of those laws.
Don’t go to Turks and Caicos Islands. People who want their dream vacay but want to do whatever they want. You packed your bag, you should’ve known. Too bad, so sad.
This sort of threatened penalty is not the sort of thing one would expect from the British Government.
You should be able to go to Turks and Cacos in perfect safety as it is the property of America's supposed number one ally the United Kingdom. The British clearly need to get their colony under control.
I bet this same couple laughs at melanated Americans being profiled everyday in America. 😂
Just like that girl who brought a weed pen to some european country It's your own fault when you go to somebody else's country and don't do your research. The sentence is excessive , but the problem could easily be prevented with a little research which they failed You don't accidentally bring weapons places
Freedumb.
😆😆😆
Keep them there!
Haha
😂 seriously check your bags that includes ammo and guns 😂
People really, traveling with ammunition? It's like Americans going to Russia with marijuana gummies 🥴🥴🥴use that 🧠 brain. Respect other countries laws
Bullets, how stupid. You ruin your life over owning a gun and ammo. No reason to own a gun.
The kids are at home with the gun wondering where dad hid the ammo.
😢 these poor US tourists and their bullets 😢
So this is the return trip home, he had these bullets so they didn't catch him in the US and they also didn't catch him when he landed in Turks. Okay, so something doesn't add up.
Likely one of his friend return his bullets to his carry-on without him knowing. Either that or he did know and thought he would get away with it.
What is it with the Americans constantly "forgetting" that they left guns and ammo in their suitcases. People like this probably shouldn't have guns.
On surface level, this seems as a simple mistake.
However, scrutinize the details of how bullets stayed in a carry-on (yes, carry-on) bag packed in the U.S., carried through a U.S. airport, boarded a flight from the U.S., remained in there through the entire vacation, and finally only discovered during security checks at the T&C airport on return is tough to not be a serious head-scratched.
The 2A tee shirt don’t mean squat in Turks and Caicos. FAFO
