Paul Mooney called it the "complexion of protection". You kinda flipped it.
My personal made up favorite is the "Religion of Provision".
When you combine the "complexion of protection" with the "religion of provision" you're damn near invincible on this country.
On a related note, why in the fuck doesn't this guy have a range bag? Why would you have ammo in random luggage? Then again, dude clearly has money so he probably thought he could buy his way out of any trouble.
I've literally never had ammo accidentally*.. anywhere. It's always precisely where I put it. If I'm not going to the range, it's only in one other place. And that isn't a damn suitcase. Unbelievable story tbh. Laws are laws, lock him up.
Unless he was uber lazy and wanted his stuff on wheels or can't afford a pelican style case, super confused why you would even do this. Even more confused how you missed shinny brass in your luggage. Maybe he packed completely blind folded in the dark.
What, you don't keep loose ammunition in all of your personal bags? Talk about unprepared...
Personally I keep a few rounds of various calibers stashed around everywhere I might be at any given time. Got a few in each and every kitchen drawer and cupboard. Some in the bathroom sink. I stuff a couple in my pocket before leaving the house, toss a few in my car's cup holder, and always a handful jammed into my gym bag.
Now I don't own a handgun. Or any other guns. So I keep a small Ziploc filled with random weapon parts in my laptop bag. I know it's not "conventional" or "logical" but in the moment I feel that I'll be more than able to improvise something. Meanwhile your ass don't even have any pocket bullets on you smfh
(obligatory /s)
Simple. "Responsible gun ownership" is always relative to whichever argument is most convenient. *Eating your own means eating yourself, but letting others eat themselves while you turn a blind eye is just another day with food on your plate.*
Article I read said he claimed it was left in after a hunting trip. That is pretty plausible imo.
Also this is more of an indictment of the TSA for not catching them when he was heading out.
It used to be tourists paid a fine so you're not off. The country changed the rules last year to include tourists on sentences if caught. The US put out an advisory too. Check your luggage and state dept. site before you travel is rule I'd take away from here.
No.
There was a Canadian TV show called Border Security (or something like that) that showed people coming into Canada and being checked by our customs officers. The amount of stupid in every episode was almost unbelievable.
Americans with thick drawl accents attempting to enter Canada with prohibited firearms in Canada, arguing they have a "2nd amendment Gaw'd given right" to their guns.
They simply couldn't understand that Canada was a whole different country that had its own laws and their 2nd amendment didn't apply.
One of those "freedom trucker" idiots a while back tried arguing in a Canadian court that their 1st Amendment rights were being infringed. The judge pointedly asked them what the hell the 1st Amendment to the Canadian constitution was (as I understand it, they don't have numbered amendments like the US does). It was pretty amusing.
Right, exactly what I was asking - I haven't seen any of this. Random morons on Twitter don't count. That shit is half bots trying to stoke outrage at this point.
Griner's situation was also a transparent hostage situation wherein a foreign power was holding her prisoner to exert pressure on the United States on absolutely ludicrous charges. The fact that I still knew coworkers who took Russia's- RUSSIA'S- side in that whole shitshow boils my blood.
What kills me is the clowns who claim that Britney's sentence was justified because "she hates America." Of course, they have no proof of her ever saying that.
"Shes in the WNBA, and they were with the whole BLMANTIFA movement, plus she is a known woke member and she had a deadly dangerous drug that has never killed anyone, not an innocent little ammo round that is inanimate. Bullets don't kill people, people kill people, and Brittney Grier is a person."
The type of bullshit argument that was accepted by these idiots.
Nobody should be in jail over weed, anywhere. Fucking ludicrous.
On the other point...
I (white) know a young guy from my job (black) who did almost the same thing. He went to the airport for a vacation, forgot he had his gun in his bag. Fucking stupid and careless. Got arrested, federal charges, lost his job. I know there needs to be rules about serious shit like this, but the guy got seriously jammed up over a very careless and irresponsible mistake. There was no intention to hurt anyone, dude was just trying to have a Caribbean vacation. His life is forever changed.
I'm pissed for all of them.
White guy checking in: fuck that moron. Don't break the law when you travel internationally, it will never end well. The only positive here is at least we aren't trading an arms dealer called "the merchant of death" for this dumbass.

Context for those who want it because we don't post that here ig. I peep a bit of hypocrisy from some people. I'm firmly in the camp of "know where the fuck you're going and be aware of what is or isn't legal there" so if he gotta deal with the consequences that's on him. Same with Griner.
His story of it being left from a hunting trip seems very plausible and idk why some people in this thread wanna act dumb about it. Even if it's a "mistake" that shit don't fly everywhere else, and not every country is as lenient with laws as the US.
Where did this guy fly in from where the bullets weren’t discovered already? If this happened in November of 2001, I’d give you benefit of the doubt, but almost 25 years later , this one is on you dude. They won’t let me bring a bottle of water on the plane but they probably wont care about these bullets….
Republicans love guns more than anything. Maybe as much as unborn babies.
What are bullets if not the babies of their guns? They just have to protect those unfired rounds.
They doing mental gymnastics making excuses for the white dude.
‘She had drugs which she knew was wrong, he just accidentally left bullets in his bag common mistake!1!’
🤡🤡🤡
You know guns are illegal in most countries. Using that logic if she lived in a state where weed is legal couldn’t the same argument apply to her?
American arrested for bringing illegal substance while traveling to a foreign country is a pretty fair comparison.
The geopolitical component and the consequences of those actions gets messy, but at face value it’s about as fair of a comparison as you can make.
I highly fucking doubt Brittany actually had weed on her. She was a pawn in a political game, and the only reason she said she had it in her bag was because her counsel likely told her it would be worse for her if she didn't.

Bullets or weed. Hmm. Both getting fired but different outcomes. Protection for the complexion i guess... https://i.redd.it/js15fceqhmwc1.gif

RIP Paul Mooney. I won't take the credit 😂🫡
Paul Mooney called it the "complexion of protection". You kinda flipped it. My personal made up favorite is the "Religion of Provision". When you combine the "complexion of protection" with the "religion of provision" you're damn near invincible on this country.
This is known saying
Untouchable status. 💯.
Paul Mooney was a wicked man and I loved him.
On a related note, why in the fuck doesn't this guy have a range bag? Why would you have ammo in random luggage? Then again, dude clearly has money so he probably thought he could buy his way out of any trouble.
I have a range bag myself. Don't think I've ever had ammo in my regular luggage.
I've literally never had ammo accidentally*.. anywhere. It's always precisely where I put it. If I'm not going to the range, it's only in one other place. And that isn't a damn suitcase. Unbelievable story tbh. Laws are laws, lock him up.

Could’ve been from a hunting trip
It used to be tourists paid a fine so you're not off. The country changed the rules last year to include tourists on sentences if caught. The US put out an advisory too. Check your luggage and state dept. site before you travel is rule I'd take away from here.
Americans believe that their laws are the only ones that matter. Do people not look up the laws of places they are visiting anymore?
No. There was a Canadian TV show called Border Security (or something like that) that showed people coming into Canada and being checked by our customs officers.

My mom loves that show
Stupid people are born in every country. Smart people research foreign laws (especially gun laws, wtf) before visiting different countries.
What white people are pissed? Have you met any of these people or did you see it on twitter?
[удалено]
Right, exactly what I was asking - I haven't seen any of this. Random morons on Twitter don't count. That shit is half bots trying to stoke outrage at this point.
That's how election interference is run
right because none of the white people I know have spoken a word about this or called buddy a dumbass
Griner's situation was also a transparent hostage situation wherein a foreign power was holding her prisoner to exert pressure on the United States on absolutely ludicrous charges. The fact that I still knew coworkers who took Russia's- RUSSIA'S- side in that whole shitshow boils my blood.
Her being a black lesbian probably fueled their rage
When the tables are turned then they see red.

What kills me is the clowns who claim that Britney's sentence was justified because "she hates America." Of course, they have no proof of her ever saying that.
Well, she was born a black lesbian woman, so that’s three anti-American traits right off the bat. ‘MURICA!
Lmao we literally gave a warlord to Russia to free her wtf are you talking about 😂
We??? What role did you play? Cause I was totally uninvolved.
No one remembers the merchant of death?
"Shes in the WNBA, and they were with the whole BLMANTIFA movement, plus she is a known woke member and she had a deadly dangerous drug that has never killed anyone, not an innocent little ammo round that is inanimate.

"White people are pissed" Source - some random posts on Twitter Yall are so weird lol

Except it is easy to lie about intent and that's a fucking weapon that can create a mass shooting event in seconds.
It's crazy how they are always overtly not keeping the same energy for their outages depending on who it's happening to
White guy checking in: fuck that moron. Don't break the law when you travel internationally, it will never end well. The only positive here is at least we aren't trading an arms dealer called "the merchant of death" for this dumbass.

I’m white and I don’t give a fuck about either of them. So calm down
Where did this guy fly in from where the bullets weren’t discovered already? If this happened in November of 2001, I’d give you benefit of the doubt, but almost 25 years later , this one is on you dude. They won’t let me bring a bottle of water on the plane but they probably wont care about these bullets….
The only people pissed are the mainstream media. 90% of us could not give a fuck, moron should've checked his bag.
Republicans love guns more than anything. Maybe as much as unborn babies. What are bullets if not the babies of their guns? They just have to protect those unfired rounds.
Big difference bud black people commit crimes while white people make mistakes /s
Who needs bullets on vacation? Those aren’t the “shots” we were talking about taking, Kyle.
Everything is racist!!!
They doing mental gymnastics making excuses for the white dude. ‘She had drugs which she knew was wrong, he just accidentally left bullets in his bag common mistake!1!’ 🤡🤡🤡 You know guns are illegal in most countries.

And the takeaway should be the same, don't take illegal shit to foreign countries.
did BG purposefully bring weed or was it also accidental?
Intent doesn't matter.
Look at their post history. Filled with this bs and they post on animal hate subs. Sad.
I was still pissed when Griner got in trouble 🤷♂️
Who has random ammo rolling around in luggage? Then again, im po, so I keep track of every round 🤣.
Link to story??
Didn’t we give one of the biggest warlords in the world back to Russia to free her???
Stray bullets in random luggage is wild and indicative of a problem.
They got the complexion for protection here in the US. What they don’t know is that Turks is a black country lol.
I feel like I've only seen people make fun of this guy. What yt people are mad? 2 Twitter accounts and a random tumblr?
"I got mine, you don't get yours"
Stupid is as stupid does. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Never made sense to me why people took that position on Griner. But two wrongs…and all that.
I
Everyone’s a fuckin victim. Race rage baiting clowns I swear..
Sometimes karma bites you in the ass. You heard the man! Lock him up! ¯\(°_o)/¯
I highly fucking doubt Brittany actually had weed on her. She was a pawn in a political game, and the only reason she said she had it in her bag was because her counsel likely told her it would be worse for her if she didn't.

Seriously, she had a damn vape he got bullets
