I can’t relate with the attitude of so many posters on this thread.

This guy faces a horrible circumstance, beyond imagination. And the only thing you people can think of is to call him names.

It’s as if the satanic cabal has mind controlled you people into abandoning your patriotic Christian heritage, which is based on the Ten Commandments, namely love your neighbor.

Are you all really that weak-minded?

At Singapore airport security confiscated my 2 inch pocket knife I use for cutting fruits during travel. It was a very nice swiss stainless steel knife.

"Dude, that jumbo jet has a trashcan in the lavatory."

I was thinking along those lines. It's been a while since I've flown, but couldn't he have stashed it somewhere like the lavatory or down the toilet and taken the next flight home? Or maybe he would rather go to jail than hear his wife bitch about the ruined vacation.

God also blessed us with common sense as well as compassion.

We will have to trade high profile, very damaging Chinese spies for this POS.

Keep him. Let him learn how to use chopsticks.

Yes, he found the gun inflight.

Step in the lavatory, toss the gun in the trash and get on the next flight home.

It’s easier to forget about your pistol in your bag than you think. Happens very often.

I agree with you.

It’s very easy to forget your gun in a backpack. I almost went through airport security with a handgun once. Luckily, in the rental car shuttle, I reached into my bag for something, and realized I hadn’t taken my gun out. I had time to go back and put it in the car.

It was a very close call.

Pay attention when you’re in Communist China.

The Biden administration will probably tell the Chinese that 14 years isn’t a long enough prison sentence.

The rights of the US Constitution play little role when in a foreign country. His only ‘rescue’ will be political/diplomatic. And THAT is only if he’s a Democrat State Senator.

I was going to post this also.

“ Wilson, a port commissioner in Longview, had planned to meet with counterparts at the port of Shanghai, in addition to traveling to Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia. He said he hoped to resume his itinerary when the case is resolved.”

Why was he meeting Chicoms?
