  • Two of the five Americans detained in Turks and Caicos on charges of bringing loose ammunition onto the islands will go before a judge this week. Ryan Watson will enter a plea Tuesday. His wife, Valerie Watson, says she would think twice about visiting the island after her husband's detention.

    He did that in Mexico he would’ve got 25 years in prison for each one of the bullets..

      I would never travel to Mexico. It is not a good neighbor to the US nor a safe place for Americans to travel. Fortunately, most Mexican people themselves are great.

    Ohhhhh the poor American 🇺🇸- really so sad- poor Ryan-
    Let’s teach children values- real values. Miscommunication?
    I go vacation - let me pack my bags swimsuit 🩱 lotion 🧴 & bullet 🤯. Ohhh I didn’t know I had bullets but that’s just a misunderstanding- so I don’t need your law - and bad Turks 😮 - what 🤯🤯🤯🤯

    Hilarious! 80% of us can t even afford rent & groceries. He's privileged & ignorant. When you're in another country it's common sense to know that you follow their laws. Personally, I wish he had jail time.

    WHY on erath would you bring ammo on your hollidays??? What was the plan???

  • @chrismiller4348
    @chrismiller4348 4 месяца назад +21

    Or clean out your suitcases before leaving the country cause your privilege doesn’t work in other countries

  • @leewest356
    @leewest356 4 месяца назад +1

    I wouldn’t worry in the least about planning a vacation to this country. That’s because I don’t have ammunition in my luggage.

  • @ladycanuck13
    @ladycanuck13 4 месяца назад +1

    Why would the question be asked whether anyone should go there? It sounds like it is a safe place to visit. I am completely baffled how so many Americans would pack for a holiday anywhere and leave bullets in their bags. Why would they have bullets in their bag in the first place? Very careless and irresponsible is what comes to mind!

      @leewest356 4 месяца назад +1

      So you don’t think there is corruption in the U.S.? Take a look at the Congress and the Supreme Court for a starter.

    Playing the blame game. Turks & Caicos security was doing their JOB, and hubby thought they would let it slide. If she was a team player, she would've stayed with him.

    How hard is it keep weapons or ammunition out of your bags? I would think a responsible gun owner would have these items contained. Edit: I don’t own guns but I presume there are cases for these purposes…

  • @2009cochinos

    Stupid answer , would you recommend going there . How bout follow the rules of the country .

  • @AFloridaSon

    Don't travel to a safe place with law and order, just because your irresponsibility got you in trouble? You're not near as important to me as you think you are.

  • @birdstwin1186

    Nope. I know whats in my luggage when traveling to other countries. I have dedicated traveling bags used only for traveling.

    @AlexR_44 4 месяца назад +4

    So... It sounds like IF you ARE fortunate enough to be able to afford a serious vacation like this, that place is ACTUALLY safe, unlike our US "gun-free" zones, where it's been commonplace for many unarmed children to be harmed or killed.
    Ugh. Rich people problems.

  • @haleyperson4415
    @haleyperson4415 4 месяца назад +3

    Why? Because you broke one of their laws and they basically let you go free?? ....havent you seen Midnight Express???! 😂 😳 Theyll all be released, ammo in luggage is quite serious, id think. Everybody just calm down, . Its a British Overseas Territory, talk to the Brits?? 😐

  • @madworld5511

    You don’t need to think twice about visiting You just need to make sure that you’re not traveling in other states & countries with illegal contraband Before I go or come back from any trip I always clean out my luggage or backpack

    There. I fixed it.

    As an Is citizen living overseas, I am tired of explaining the American obsession with guns. Don’t give me that Second Amendment line. The history of and reason for the Second Amendment isn’t pretty.

      Economic sanctions?... They ARE in place.. the VAST majority of us can't afford to go on trips like that guy. We can't afford a family and nice clothes and enough guns and ammo that we can misplace any of it😅😂
      economic sanctions. 🤦‍♂

    • @AFloridaSon

      Because they have law and order?

    @williegilligan2661 4 месяца назад +3

    They, Turks & Caicos have no idea yet how much tourism business they will lose because of this, they have shot themselves in the foot & will bleed out tourism dollars for a long time over this.

    • @AFloridaSon
      @AFloridaSon 4 месяца назад +2

      Except you're overlooking that most people don't travel with ammo, and T&C is getting tons of free press for being a safe place to take families. Most people look for safe destinations over places where laws are easy to break.

    • @steveb6386
      @steveb6386 4 месяца назад

      The US has only 4.3% of the Earth's population, how many roughly visit T&C per year from US? Guess what, America isn't the only country.
