    An Indiana family that moved to the Commonwealth of Dominica to escape Covid-19 mandates and soon wound up entangled in the legal system there has been deported from the eastern Caribbean island.

    Jason Grogg said his family moved to Dominica in 2021 to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to start a new life free of Covid-related restrictions. The family also left because of their displeasure with the expansion of LGBTQ rights, according to self-published newsletters of their travels.

    But, the family's legal troubles began when authorities searched their rental home and the shipping container they used to move their possessions to the island. The authorities found a gun, ammunition and other firearm accessories in their possession.

    Grogg claims Dominica’s government unjustly and illegally prosecuted his family. In the months prior to this deportation, a defiant Grogg has publicly criticized the island’s prime minister and government in local radio interviews and on social media. “I guess the wicked government of Dominica is just going to dump us in Miami and expect us to find our way when everything we own is in Dominica,” he said.

    The people of Dominica clearly didn't want those gun-toting thugs in their country. "Take that mess back to America"

    These idiots (like the one that went to Russia) get all their stuff stolen by crooked foreign governments and then they whine. It's awesome.

    Why would we take back a criminal?

    The sad thing about 2020 was that there was no safe haven (on the planet) from hysteria, so little point in going anywhere except perhaps another state.

    I myself escaped Covid mandates by simply not complying with them as best as I was able.

    No concerns for anyone else, or trying to help keep it from spreading, huh?

    Cool.

    It seems that when they decided to flea to escape the Covid mandates they also ended up escaping from the US Constitutional right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment. Since they apparently have a gun fetish before fleeing they should have done sufficient research and found a country that also had its own version of the American Second Amendment.

    Right wingers don't do research. Everything they need to know they learned from Alex Jones.

    They probably did some version of asylum. They obviously stayed longer than any tourist visas would allow. I doubt the guy was allowed to work in that county either. So… how was he supporting his family? Presumably some church sent him money to support his mission. So did he convert anyone or was he grifting? Maybe if his church is extremist enough they can send an organized Christian militia next time to overthrow the “pimp minister”. :emoji_joy:

    Seems like in his addled brain this is what he thinks happens next.

    Maybe that is the case with this guy, I do not know. But to condemn any and all mission programs is disgusting. I agree some are not good, but many do very good work. Bottom line is this guy violated the rules of the country by bringing in personal protection in the form of a gun. I can't condemn those who do this to our country when I don't condemn those from our country who don't respect the laws of the country they are going to.

    Christ Almighty, are you really accusing that poster of this?


    You Trumppublicans jump around so much between defending the lies and crimes of your party leader, to defending the lies of his advocates, to rationalizing that your votes for the enablers of a traitorous criminal do not actually constitute support for the traitorous criminal that......

    ......you are left just hunting down strawmen to argue, so as not to solely and constantly be on the losing side, arguing for crime and treason.

    If Indiana is too liberal for you, you're probably not going to like most other countries.

    The guy is a loser and too bad
    Yeah Coop, I would prefer this loser staying the hell away from this country. Kind of like the idiots on both sides who say they are going to leave the country if a certain politician is elected President later this year. To those people, get the heck out and don’t hurry back.

    I’m sure you agree, don’t you?

    To suggest God approves of guns is blasphemy.
    Those folks won't be happy wherever they go.
