The governors of Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Virginia wrote a letter Tuesday asking the territory to show mercy to the Americans arrested on the island.
If they brought 0 out there is no telling how many they brought in, locking up people for 12 years for a crime they didnt see is ridiculous. Comparison example: Person pulled over driving back into Colorado has a finished roach in his ash tray. Would you think imprisonment for 12 years on the chance that they smuggled pounds of weed to a non-recreational state next door? Or would you say they were an idiot for putting a roach (stray bullets) in a car ashtray (carrying bag) and traveling across a border where it isn’t legal on one side. I’d give that person a fine as well. (Assuming they can pass a DUI test and they weren’t high at the time they were driving).

They are not in America? The legal standard is likely different. I think being that I’m not from Turks & Caicos makes my opinion on their prison-terms irrelevant. I do think it’s a mistake as an American for my fellow Americans to travel around the world while acting like the laws and general legal-systems of other countries operate exactly the same as ours.
Please try not to take my prior post to this one too seriously. It was a lazy way for me to try to illustrate the idea I laid out in this post. My only real point is this: When in Rome do as the Romans do.
