robocallU.S. governors urge Turks and Caicos to release Americans as Florida woman becomes 5th tourist arrested for ammo in luggage
apfelwoiSchoppenFucks sake. Why should they.
UllallullooIt’s literally a victimless crime committed unintentionally. Most people oppose 12-year prison sentences for harmless accidents.
HawkVictimless crime. Who says they’re not smuggling ammo into the country to use for criminal activity? You only need to fire a single bullet to kill someone.
It’s more than correct that they’re detained and go to trial. I don’t think anyone is actually sentenced yet?
I also assume 12 years is the upper limit for possession here.
It was two rounds of loose hunting ammo. If you can kill someone with two rounds of ammo and no gun you can kill someone without two rounds of ammo…
Also it was leaving the country to fly to the U.S. where they could purchase it again legally, so not much of a reason to give them 12 years of prison
Who says they’re not smuggling ammo into the country to use for criminal activity? You only need to fire a single bullet to kill someone.
The woman in question was traveling with her daughter, and was caught with 2 rounds of ammo in her bag when leaving the country. If you are trying to smuggle it in, why are you bringing it back out?
But if they can prove that she was trying to smuggle ammo into the country, what the law was meant for, then yes please let her burn. But “she might have been, so it’s fine she is doing prison time despite it almost certainly just being a dumb mistake” doesn’t sit well with me at all. I don’t believe it It should sit well with anyone who claims to care about justice.
I also assume 12 years is the upper limit for possession here.
You really think someone should do prison time for making a mistake that didn’t even hurt anyone?
