#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #TurksAndCaicos #Tourist
people getting shot on vacation?
republican solutions:
a. more guns
b. move to a new zip code
one could argue guns haven’t helped schools, hospitals, places of worship, shopping centers, concerts, night clubs, gas stations, homes, sure but have they tried…
even more guns?
or living on another planet?
vote republican like we have a gun to your head…
because when it comes to mass shootings in peaceful areas republicans are #1.
making america great again one mass shooting at a time.
“tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1861”
No more tourism for this island?
Better to die in paradise than in the streets of Chicago
The US is no better just being a certain color is a level 4 security risk 🤷🏽♀️
And I wonder why I don’t go on vacation….. anywhere
Just lock up every BLM member and then sift through em by intelligence. Let the intelligent, and obvious ones, that appreciate and are law-abiding.
You give people freedom, and within 150 years they become the most ignorant, violent, and non productive, people of society. 🤨 lock em all up!! Even the toddlers (they have been exposed to enough fukkery, where they won’t do any better either in society)
I guess the blaxs in Turks and Caicos don’t care about NAACP or BLM. They just gunned down one of their own.
Everyone that does drugs killed him.
Americans have a false sense of security not realizing other countries have REAL thugs that don’t care about no police.
This was a targeted hit.
It’s sad to hear someone died but the focus in this report seems to be on tourism and not the safety of the locals. This is a tourist induced island yes but why is violence increasing?
That’s not the first a tourist has been killed there.
That’s why you don’t visit dirty countries
You can’t support and propagate BLM culture for years and then cry foul when you fall victim to it! We need some ideological consistency from the liberal media.
How can you have gangs on an island flat as pancakes?
Americans are behind this
The deep state in America are the ones destabilizeing the Caribbean including Jamaica ,Trinidad Bahamas too , they are ones sending in the guns and forming the gangs
Its an island, how hard could it be to find them?
Well said at the end
This seems like a hit made to look like something else. I’m not surprised he’s high up in a social justice advocacy. They’re killing off reporters and activists
Drug gangs are definitely involved judging by how many bullet holes are on the windshield, either mistaken identity or caught in the cross fire.
Looks like an isisraheLLi spy to meh. 🤷🏿♀️
#* looks blatantly like a hit job #*
Media: Doesn’t mention anything about it blatantly looking like a hit job.
Kanye west “ should had your white lives matter shirt on “ 😂 pitiful f in world we living in folks start gettin used to it
I went to tijuana during their level 4 do not travel. O wells yolo
Legalize drugs. Problem solved.
There’s more to this story?
If I was pres I’d bomb them little islands. Teach them third worlders a lesson
Le profit est pour ceux qui profitent
Black Lives Matter killed their own people
Come to Los Ángeles and wear an expensive watch and see what happens to u. The fake news should learn to be more honest
Hmmm with all the extreme gun control laws there and such strict control of firearms coming into the island, how did the gang get guns I wonder?🤔🤔🤔 it almost as though, even on a remote island, gun control doesn’t work and criminals will find a way to import them illegally! 🤷♂️
Who owns those forsaken money laundries islands? England?
Targeted with no witnesses left…
American Tourist are dying more offen better off spending your money in the state
Americans should be equally concerned about living in America.
What would gang members have to gain by opening fire on a tourist? I think this guy is correct, it must have been an accident.
SMH Jamaican gangs are a threat to the Caribbean
We need to legalize drugs to stop these gangs, spend the money on rehabilitation programs instead of the war on drugs, these gangs and cartels will go broke and these senseless killings will stop
I wouldn’t travel into any of these vacation islands far away from the U.S. for anything!!!! Very frightening!!
Looks like American Game Shows May have to stop giving out trips to Turks & Caicos as prizes.
So the news bulletin is about Turks and Caicos and typical American media turns it into a story about crime in Mexico? Fear mongering and sensationalism at its finest 🙄
This was a hit. Thats not a random act
You think the government and law enforcement don’t know who the gang members are. The island isn’t that big!
Omg and I was just there weeks ago
Turks and Caicos bout to be on the black list🫤
U.s .government paid job
We leave America for vacation to get away from the violence!
Gangs are rising up in every foreign country especially the new young ones and they have a name to make for themselves to prove to their gang. Of on islands like turks and cacios they are going to be out because that’s how they make their money, by selling controlled substances to the tourists and in the process fighting over territories to sell their controlled substances. The cartels are in every country now but are more frequent in the United States because it’s bigger so each cartel in Mexico has cartel members in all 52 states but like I was saying America is so big that they don’t never come across their rivals like they do when in Mexico or other countries that they are close to.
Ever notice police and militaries are great at soaking up tax money but can never stop criminals. The Oligarchs and their politicians steal tax money are rarely solve any real problems.
Fortunately it did not happen in the US, or else they’d be saying “hate crime”.
Where’s BLm now ?? Haha
RIP man
This is horrible, he was killed in a barrage of bullets, what is the motive here?? This looks targeted why would they waste so many bullets on a random group?
I always check travel advisories before I travel anywhere. Politics will have folks looking at you crazy and ready to off you head.
That wasn’t random.
That was a professional hit.
Yikes… I was there 2 years ago!
I just want to know why.
Women should be offended a man protected a strong black woman who can protect herself in 2022. Controlling toxic masculinity has got to stop!
Man….. this is wrong… please catch whoever did this. Condolences to the friends and family of the fallen.
Time to call delta force
I currently live in South America & a lot of people hate on Americans on the low, so be careful!!
I don’t understand those levels of travel advise , cause on those terms , what level have Philadelphia , Chicago , New York ?
Could’ve been a hit man seems like something out of a movie 🤔
No guns are permitted in that country…. They really don’t like American blacks down there.
The country is black, but they don’t like American blacks.
I’ve been to Turks and Caicos many times, a shooting like that is rare but crime isn’t, home break-ins and other types of theft, which can turn violent, are fairly common.
So many losers with guns. So sick and tired of hearing about these weak men.
We need a law to travel with our licenses fire arm asap
Bad things happen all over the world. Was just there the last week of September, for our third year in a row, and never felt in danger. We are already planning our trip back for next year. Love TCI!
America needs to control the illegal guns coming out of its borders. Very sad!
Who are the majority race in these islands?
Looks like a hit.
Happy birthday, ******. Guess those trump voters and “racist po lease” weren’t the real problem after all!
Disgusting. I wonder what the ethnic background of the shooters were that killed a beloved member of the NAACP
Straight from Spain
That was a murder. May he RIP.
That was a hit
Tragic, but that last person’s comment got me.
Sounds like a hit to me
Wow, I was just there with my boyfriend a few months ago. We didn’t have any bad experiences but I’m shocked that this happened. So scary…
So senseless
Turks And Caicos we must invade
We kno him. He famous. Wow
Who cares. Infinitely more Americans die in America..
Just came back from Cancun and witnessed military style police walking up and down our beach resort
Not a good time for traveling outside of the country period. Probably not for a while now.
Oh yeah traveling is fun right 😰
Gang members only think they tough but they just little kids trying to play in a big world
Private gun ownership isn’t allowed on Turks and Caicos, how can this happen? 🤔
Where tf is tukrs and cacos?
Hood people vacationing in hood vacationing spots.
USA Citizen has more chance in being shot in the USA than aboard
If they can’t keep tourists safe then they don’t deserve tourists dollars.
Hey United Kingdom, get your island under control!!
When you’re Rich & Think 🤔 Everyone Loves Americans
And they said to stay away from Turks And Caicos few years ago!!!
