That just means the USA is better at enforcing the law than the rest of the world. People make their own choices you know.
VIII Amendment.
The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” This amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing unduly harsh penalties on criminal defendants, either as the price for obtaining pretrial release or as punishment for crime after conviction.

Yes, like to find something to eat. Aren't all the zoo animals consumed.

I would like your words to be confirmed by millions of Americans who are constantly appearing at protest demonstrations.

They have the right to protest.
While in Russia people are beaten and jailed for appearing at protest demonstrations.

may we see your proof that this is an arms shipment from the US government? in fact the only link you have shows only pictures of a bunch of guns, not even any claim made about where they are from. you say they "arrived from Florida". is there any proof that they were even shipped from Florida or anywhere else in the US, indeed that they even entered the country without approval from the currant corrupt government? is there any proof that they were shipped FROM Florida, and not just transferred from other out of country cargo flights or even ships and Florida was just one stop on their travels? or even if they did originate in the US that it was government sponsored and not just someone, or some group doing so. such as family and/or friends of the possible revolutionaries shipping arms all on their own. which given the sheer size of this so called arms shipment seems rather more plausible. seriously 19 guns, a few cellphones, scopes and antennas, is not what would be needed by those taking on government forces in pretty much any country. you would be thinking in terms of hundreds, if not thousands of guns, tons of ammunition to arm a force to take out a corrupt government such as is currently in control in Venezuela. this arms shipment is much more like a shipment a small band of ordinary criminals would find useful to rob places. heck if "stores for rifles" means ammunition like i suspect, that means a whole 6 shots per each rifle. you certainly are not going to do any serious harm with that little ammunition. in all seriousness calling such a pathetic "arms shipment", the US arming anti government factions is just too funny.

I'm sure the shipment was a mistake. Those weapons were supposed to go to the freedom fighters battling the oppressive regime in France.
Damn FedEx.

By the way, the USA is the world leader in the number of prisoners in prison, both absolutely and relatively.
Another common misconception...
Our prisons are over crowded, we have some tent outposts in the desert too.

lots of errors of the wording of the Tweet, what does 118 stores for rifles mean? like rifle cases or are we shipping gun stores intact to south america? belts? like ammo belts for the obviously non belt fed weapons or stuff to hold up pants with? iphones? haha so are they some kind of weapon im not aware of as a gun nut now? can phones be used in conjunction with the 2 rifle sights?? are they so poor and destitute that they need antennas shipped in for comunications this thing has more holes in it then swiss cheese. but hey they must have been tired from putting those semi trailers on the roads to block aid from coming to the people who have been forced to eat zoo animals and pets for the last few years and needed a day off so they come up with this spin
