I agree completely. There's definitely more to this. You wouldn't get 15 years for that, especially since it would be considered at worst negligent vs intentional.
Born and raised in North Carolina. I’m a convicted felon that has never spent a day in prison. I say that to say that NC is lenient af when it comes to sentencing. Murderers regularly get less than 20 years here. 15 years is a SERIOUS crime, and what he described would never warrant that time. He either killed his daughter or is lying about the whole situation and did something completely different. Be safe Tim
Plus if he served 15 he probably got sentenced to longer right? I don't know about in NC but in Indiana you actually only serve half the time you're sentenced if you stay out of trouble.
I live in NC but know nothing about sentencing norms. Looking at his body language and story inconsistencies, he did time for something else. Maybe he killed his daughter accidentally (probably less time, though), or they went back to his apartment and found a serious stash of drugs. 15 years + deportation sounds like a plea agreement..
My respect for you just went up a lot after that conversation with that guy... Love how you were genuinely interested in the guys story and even offered him suggestions of going somewhere safer
@@cmw8216 his DIDNT kill his kid on purpose stupid! He tried to save her by going to the hospital thinking it was a faster option than the ambulance. they charged him with murder because they are racist asf, just like you.. Things happen he shouldnt have to feel guilty for trying to save his child. he's a good man...
@@cmw8216 If what he said was true, he haven't killed his kid. I mean, hospital was 5 minutes of driving. It would take more than 5 minutes for ambulance to come. So it is probably better to drive the kid to the hospital in this case. Problem is, he haven't knew how to first aid..
@plantaznik266 You don't get arrested for driving your child to the hospital. That is my point. This guy is saying that's why he went to jail because the truth, that he caused the death, makes him look like a bad guy.
@@J.AlvarezMelburn bro but you can tell by the way he speaks English. It's not the best. His trying to describe it the best way possible. I was raised in the US as a kid. Right now I'm 23 and I struggle with a lot of words to describe sometimes. You can't just assume things cause of the way his saying words that may not go together with what his trying to explain. Lol
That guy had to have left some things out of that story. Something isn’t adding up there. Our legal system wouldn’t punish you like for an honest mistake of your own daughter randomly choking to death. If it is completely true though, that is heartbreaking.
FACTS... I felt the same. He said twice when I got CAUGHT, and @10:24 he slipped answering Tim's question why was he in prison. He said first "FOR RUNNING" Another thing is his wife would just divorce him just like that? One more thing, every deportation is different. My kids father was deported for 5 years..his brother was deported for 10 years after prison time in the USA.
I have a few friends that are undocumented and got in a little mishap. Turned out they got prison, lost good paying jobs and the wife and family along with the homes they owned. Something simple put them in prison then got deported after prison. One of my friends had his house taken by the judges son and to this day still lives in it... so yes we have a legal system but it's only fair for a few
Our legal system sucks! Our legal system is built to find guilt not innocence, it is a big cooperation disguised as justice. I always find it crazy that ppl really believe in the “just us” system
Yo Timmy did you really believe the guy’s story? Come on man. He was leaving some important things out of the his story. He definitely did something very negligent he is not telling you. No one gets 15 years in Prison for not calling the ambulance.
He wouldn’t have spent so much time in jail. His story is weird for sure. He also didn’t want to work the hotel area because they probably won’t hire him.
This dude left out some very important details you do not do 15 years for your child dying on the way to the hospital from being sick there’s more to it obviously neglect maybe child abuse maybe he did it to the child maybe he killed his own child
Mexican who lives in the US. I don’t believe the guys story but I find it very sweet that you were moved by the thought of injustice. Many injustices happen to immigrants but that man left out too many details. ❤️🇲🇽
his story was fishy for sure, and the fact that he got nervous after the guy asked him what happened to his daughter beforehand... doesn't help. but ngl the food looks incredible
21 years in law enforcement dealing with criminals I love how evasive, deflective and 1/2 true telling this guy is. He’s literally oozing guilty out of every pore. I’m sorry about his daughter but his hands have blood on them and it’s not for not calling an ambulance. Driving there can be argued as reasonable and no jury would ever convict someone on that.
Agree, you can tell he is withholding info. He left his other daughter as well, nobody talked to him after. He’s guilty for killing her. Autopsy tells all
Tim…as a fellow Greek here in the states, I have to say you have given me a renewed inspiration and a whole new outlook on life…as an adventure! The way you treat everyone around the globe and the way every culture embraces your vibe and energy is so contagious and empowering!! Keep up your amazing content and journalism and stay safe because we love you brother! You’re my favorite UA-cam channel….And your “Madre Mia” and “F man”bombs crack me up everytime!! Stay blessed!
You can't be serious. This fool has no respect for culture ad humiliates locals by constantly making them do things they know they will risk their lives. He's an idiot.
You can't not just accuse. Someone. You. Don't know about the law. In USA. You. Probably you are American sirezen. Cuz if you. Not your story would be worse 😅
Stop risking your life bro. You should take the locals advice. You should never underestimate the power of criminals. If the locals are telling you it's dangerous then why go there bro? I know it's good content but remember you are on the other side of the world, safety should be your top priority. I support your channel bro but I'm telling you it's not worth gambling with your life. You might not get so lucky everytime. You can make normal travel content like some of your other videos.
Right I lived in the worse neighborhood of west Phoenix AZ. Shootings every night. My family would visit for a day and say "Why do you hate it here, it's calm and nice here" okay then....stay a few nights here and you will see what I'm talking about.
yes totally agree plus spreading false information which would encourage other ppl to go there after watching your video saying oh it’s totally safe maybe you were safe for first time but wouldn’t be for the second, don’t take risk in Mexico, crazy decision
True. No matter how good loving our intentions are, it may mean nothing there. It's completely different values than ones we are used to. Our world and theirs are like night and day. They don't come to ours and we don't go to theirs. That's the mutual unsaid understanding we share. Things like this may lead conflict. Folks from both sides may lose lives unnecessarily.
That guy was so full of it, he did something to that child. I know a person that i went to highschool with who did 5 years in prison for negligence that led to death of their child. That dude is leaving something big out of his story
Once again you deserve an award for another one of your vlogs. Unlike many of the other traveling youtubers, one really gets that you genuinely care about the people you meet and interview, and that you are not simply there just to exploit these people. Thanks for letting Alex tell his story and for actually listening and caring, while letting the world know what happened to him. You have excellent energy my man, and good karma to you in the future.
Tim you got a good heart but you’re young and naïve in the USA no one goes to prison because they didn’t call an ambulance, here’s what I think the guy had a fight with his wife somehow the little girl gets hurt maybe he pushed her by accident he takes her to the hospital she dies he gets 15 . she divorces him and just before he gets out after 15 years she brings the daughter to see him because he’s going to get deported and she’ll never see him again. But don’t be naïve he got 15 years because he had something to do with the death of his daughter which thankfully they considered an accident otherwise he’ll be inthere for life.

he slipped up and said “when I got caught.” the guy is completely lying about his story. His body language, the way he speaks in gibberish and lack of eye contact, it’s just very obvious he’s being deceptive
I caught that, too. USA isn't just going to lock you up for trying to save your daughter from choking. Come on!!! Plus leaving your 6 m9nth old at home alone. They will lock you up for that. This guy was totally lying
@@liberatedentrepreneur149 your name matches you, you sound very liberal like a female thinking with your emotions. Spanish has nothing to do with him getting caught slipping. I am fluent in spanish. Now go on beta male
@@alexr9514 YOOOOOO !!! You already KNOW one caught some feelings with a response like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Only a beta would catch those kinds of emotions from someone kicking facts to him. You must speak some very poor Spanish if you didn't pick that up, then. Go ahead junior... run along and play with you toys. Sorry for making you cry 🤣🤣🥱
Bro, i dig your energy and the empathy you had for that dude. You are a true traveler embracing all your experiences. This is the difference from being a tourist. Much love and light and safe travels brother.
Absolutely no need to apologize. I think a great many of us were troubled by that man's story, as well. The fact that you reacted as you did, simply shows all of us what a sweet, caring guy you really are. We need more of that in this world, and I must say, it was a wonderful thing to see a man wear his heart on his sleeve. Thank you for that.
I hope you get better, Timmy. Sending you good vibes! Came here after watching balds video when you got sick in Mexico. Positive thoughts and prayers sent your way man.
Bro Tim, I'm the same way you are. I love going to neighborhoods off-the-beaten-path and meeting the local people and whatnot. I grew up in a really bad neighborhood and I've seen people die in front of me and lots of terrible things. So I have a different outlook when I travel to neighborhoods that other people don't go in. I usually get along with everybody fine. You treat everybody with respect so you have a less chance of getting disrespected. Awesome videos bro! Can't wait to see more
If you aren’t from somewhere and the cab driver is telling you he won’t even go there and you decide to go anyways you are asking for something to happen. Keep pushing your luck thinking that all people are good as long as you are good that’s not how the world works.
@Serendipity exactly what I was thinking... yeah you may be good a majority of the time but there are so many that will kill you just because you're a strange face .
@@zoRN-f2f you're right. Its not always as simple as "respect". But when someone grows up in a neighborhood full of killers, you have a better understanding of a "killer" environment, versus somebody who has no idea about that side of life. It's like the saying goes, "you can't scam a scammer". That's the concept I'm getting at.
@@SoWellDunn just remember that 90% of the world is afraid of their own shadow. I grew up in a terrible neighborhood in Detroit where people are being shot and killed everyday and overdosing on the front lawn. And I will tell you that everybody would say not to go to that neighborhood, everybody would say that's a dangerous neighborhood. It's just like Chicago, everybody I talk to is afraid to go to the outskirts of Chicago especially at night, Tampa, Miami. But yet I've been to all those areas. All the areas that people say are dangerous, don't go there. I've been to all of them. Obviously most importantly you have to have wits about yourself. So just because somebody is afraid to go to a neighborhood doesn't mean it's a bad neighborhood. I mean I know so many people in the United States who are afraid to go to Cancun Mexico because they think they're going to get kidnapped and robbed. Come on. If you let people's fear dictate your life then you might as well not travel anywhere. You might as well stay in the house and not leave.
That's what Cancun looks like almost everywhere once you leave the touristy areas. My father lives in Cancun and all the houses look like that almost everywhere. I've always said Cancun looks ugly once you get to the real Cancun. It doesn't have the charm that other older cities of Mexico have. It doesn't have that nice layout. It's literally a city that was slapped together and grew so quickly due to the tourism that started developing. People from all over Mexico ended up in Cancun looking for work and they started to eventually just build all these little tiny homes and communities.
It’s sickening how the guy who told the story… shows no sympathy at all for his daughter. He probably got sent to prison & deported, because they convicted him of first degree murder.

I wonder how many languages Tim speaks! I grew up in Fl and the Midwest- more and half my life was in S Florida. Although I used very little Spanish that I learned in grade school when I was in the Midwest, I picked back up after 2 yr back in Fl. But ur Spanish is still better than mine! Good job. I love the Greeks and Greek language! I spent a month in 1995 wandering all over Greece. I’d learned the alphabet and phonetics before I went so that I could catch buses and read signs/ etc. in 1995! Much less was in English then AND it was the best time, we could still walk in the acropolis! Delfi! All the places with ancient temples and ruins. Not the same today, I’m so glad I spent that time, years ago in your country! I might hop over to Greece for a few days in March when I go to travel with my 21 yr old. We are gonna “wander” in Italy! I’ll be traveling for a month and I love that u are out enjoying the world too Tim!
Great video, always down to talk to anyone. I’m glad people are seeing the side of Mexico that no one knows about. I suggest visiting Cuautla Morelos you will definitely like the vibe there and of course the food and people
You are correct. Bad things happen to bad people. But bad things happen to good people too. There's no rhyme or reason to evil people or someone that thinks you're a mark.
This may also be reaching a little bit, but most people who experience that level of real trauma aren’t as eager to share the story as this guy was to a complete stranger
Tbh I'm quite sure that guy did some really really bad things and you can notice how he needed to think of stories in between the talking. At least that's my impression.
Mexican guy : i had 3 charges to sit 15 years in prison 1 i did not call the ambulance 2 i left my other 6 months old baby at home alone ( with the Baby sitter who say'd the baby was sick and did not wanted to eat and then 10 min later he rushed to the Hospital ) so the 6 month old baby was not alone 3 we have some technical problems confirming number 3 your wife..? Mexican guy : yeahhh well... she was at work at that moment / time or day i dunno man... it is like me telling you : Yo man... listen up ! i had jumped of a 6 story telling building trying to save a Cat that jumps of the roof... it was like crazy br0 ! for real... i catch the cat mid air and when we landed on the roof we went straight trough it and killed the old lady who was just watching tv ow and the cat also died... they gave me 25 years man trying to save the Cat and that i did not call a ambulance... This looks more like paying the victim Card... because why would they charge you when you drive your daughter choking to the hospital to save her life ? that is such a weird story... absolutely 0 empathy from the judge or jury what so ever... just because your Mexican and that is the reason. everyone hates you because your not American after something like this horrible happens they will give you 15 years just like that. Nou that sounds like some true HOOOORSE SJIIIIIIIIIIIT to me booooooooy that evening : ajajajajaa that gringo ! he believed the 15 year old story AJAJAJAJAJAJAAAA guns shooting in the air drinking Tequila shitty situation : so they could have let you go to mexico but in stead hold the Mexican guy for 15 years witch cost allot for any American citizen and in that process they know for sure breaking up the family and destroy everything he has that he is so depressed ( The guy wanted to kill him self for god sake ) they know for sure he would be happy to be free even moving back to Mexico... so that must have been the main reason rather just deport him back straight away. was it bad in prison ? Mexican was like owww nooo nonono the air was nice and the men oee laa laa it was like a walk in the Park in the weekend. i would be probably dead the moment he told me that story, hahahahaa funny joke the Mexican guy would have say'd : here eat some free lead Puto Live long and prosper,
When I was in the service. They used to give a briefing on areas that were “dangerous”. We’d listen to the stories. Then as soon as we got a break off we went. I’m from a very bad neighborhood myself. The thing about so called bad places. Most of the people are just people. The crime can happen anywhere. Usually a neighborhood is bad because the people that are supposed to protect it don’t do their jobs.
It's bad because people are in poor economic conditions, so there's a number of them who will resort to crime. It is not the police not doing their job, but that does worsen the issue. I grew up in a neighborhood where most people don't suffer economically, so I haven't seen a crime or anything crazy there for 11 years. It isn't safe because of the police, the police have easy jobs there because few residents feel the need to commit crimes out of necessity.
@@HawaiiDEEPS not just the police force but the corruption of the actual government who collaborate with cartels to put extra money in their pocket. The entire government and police force are compromised. Certain areas are policed exclusively by the cartel who enforce their own versions of Justice. It’s true that in these areas, there’s really no one around to protect the law abiding citizens if shit goes down.
LOL That guy was not put in prison for 15 years for not calling an ambulance. Typical lying convict. Tim, I know you're young, but you need to quit being so naive. For sure that guy's story is at least 75% bullshit.
They will put u in jail for your kids dying in your hands and for leaving a 6 month baby at home by her self is another charge he admitted that it’s called child endangerment for the 6 month being at home by her self and the other charge was not for the ambulance not being called it’s because he waited to long to take her to the hospital and I’m probably sure he did not want in ambulance bill so he decided to take her but she was probably already dead so he got charged for involuntary death that charge alone is anywhere from 3 years to 10 years in jail plus the time he got for leaving the 6month baby by her self probably gave him the extra 5 years. He fucked up but he ain’t saying he didn’t
bad things happen to good people as well...I've travelled all around Mexico, and no longer have the need to visit really dangerous places, especially for views on social media.
This is a good example of how Timmy gets along so well with people, he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. A lot of people, including myself would think that guy was guilty and wouldnt have had the long chat with him .
Tim, I don't know how I found your vlog but you are a great spirit my young friend. I have traveled to Cancun and Dominican and French Guadeloupe and I agree with you. Poverty is not a crime. There are wonderful people in these places and not because it is politically correct to say that now. You have a character to make friends wherever you go and it will serve you well in life. I won't say I came from a tough school but we had our own coroner. We wrote essays like "what I want to be if I grow up". Just playing son. Keep your attitude of wonder and it will serve you well. New subscriber. Happy trails.
The system in the USA is truly unjust. My undocumented friend got stopped by a cop for walking outside late at night. Next thing he’s being sent to prison and then gets deported. So yeah, his story seems very real.
from what you described you had a friend who illegally entered a country, drew suspicion to themselves late at night, suspicion that was obviously deserved if they were doing something illegal enough that resulted in them being sent to prison after which they were deported for the illegal entry and criminal behavior. That doesn't sound really sound all that unjust
@@justingarret4776 His parents brought him to the USA since he was a baby. In racist GOP controlled Texas, cops can literally stop you for anything if you are black or Mexican “looking” whether you act suspicious or not. This was big controversy a few years ago (during the time he got apprehended). Walking to your home late at night from a friend’s house is nothing suspicious. He had no weapons, was not disturbing anyone. He was literally just walking home late at night on concrete sidewalk. Hell I used to do it back then all of the time too. You know there is nothing wrong with this but your hate for undocumented people makes you say it’s “sUsPicIous”. For fucks sake US Citizens do this all of the time too so don’t come at me all kinds of stupid. Fact is, the system in the USA truly is unjust. Hell even against US citizens. Luckly, after my friend got out of prison and then deported, he came right back to the USA illegally and is now raising a family in peace here in the USA. Your laws won’t work, Justin🤣
@@shdws182 man this touched my heart , the second mother of my children had a friend who has lived in the us since a baby but was not a us citizen by law , even went to schools and everything and was recently deported from Texas and children taken away all because she was arrested for not having license or insurance . To me the us is not the land of opportunity when good people are being deported instead of given a chance . For some it's not easy to just come right back 😢
@@shdws182the system is unjust “against people who are here illegally” is what u mean . I’m sorry you do not live in reality and think only certain laws have to be obeyed
I love your outlook on life. You have a belief that all people have some good. Your heard broke listening to the man at store and didn't even know what to say. I love to watch these videos because I love exploring the world. We get to see what you see through your eyes/lens. God bless you.
Right @10:24 he says "I was running" when Timmy asked why he was in prison. He stated "when I was CAUGHT" he said it twice. His English is perfect. There's NO mistaking for "when I was ARRESTED"
The ONLY thing I can't agree with here is you saying "bad things happen to bad people, I'm a good person so I'll be fine" I WISH that were true, but it simply is not. Other than that, cool video, big respect for going!
Left a 6 month at home but had to pick poorly daughter up from baby sitter to take her hospital..bollox..stuttering he’s words..he did something bad to that child..
"My friend, is it dangerous over there?" "Yes they kill a lot of people there." "Ok i want to go there." Why even bother asking if its dangerous then ahahahaahhah. Love ur vids dude
I enjoy your videos and and I will tell you the same thing that I’ve left on a Kurt video. When locals tell you to be careful and that it’s dangerous they don’t mean that the second you get there you’re gonna have 48 holes in your body. You are watched. Day and night by many. Especially when the local gang members that usually control those areas have people you don’t think otherwise to be informers. And when you feel most safe, you wake up tied up or don’t wake up at all. Just always be careful. You guys are all too young to lose your lives over an ego trip.
God bless the guy who lost his daughter however, that was a big ass lie… No one in this country does 15 years in prison for not calling an ambulance most especially if he actually ended up at the hospital with her…
Did he say he was in Raleigh, NC? Some of the best hospitals in the USA. What’s disgusting is you falling for that BS story. It’s not illegal not to call an ambulance. Did the child suffer a head injury? Those are the symptoms.
χάρηκα πάρα πολύ που είδα το βηδιο σας! είσαι καλό παιδί και πολύ σεβαστικος. με ηγεια και προσοχή. It was an honor to watch your video and be a part of your audience. Much respect to you my man!

@@anthonysporty3395 you can be kind - that does not be necessarily mean you’re gullible. Emotional intelligence. Though I agree with the comments on here that the guy has done something very serious to be sent to prison for a long time and been deported out of the USA. He doesn’t show any remorse or anger about being sentenced for the death of his daughter. He hasn’t mentioned his daughter that he misses her or that he’s devastated that his daughter died. He is emotion less , I believe he’s lying
I just saw your video, and I'm sorry that you believed that guy. 1) The only prison in Raleigh is a maximum security prison; 2) You don't get 15 years for not knowing how to respond to a medial emergency or for responding to it irrationally; 3) in my early working life I was employed in the Diagnostic Center at that prison and the people housed there are some of the state's worst. His story was bogus. If he was in prison because of his daughter's death, then he killed her. Sounds like he might have chocked her to death. Let me know his name if you have it and I'll see what I can find out.
I live close to Raleigh, North Carolina. I almost certainly believe the guy was playing you as a narcissistic victim of injustice .minorities in the USA are frequently released with a slap on the wrist and the shortest amount of prison time because of overcrowded prisons.if he had spent 15 years in prison ,it was without a doubt a very serious offense and probably a fraction of what the law requires. He was also deported because he was illegal immigrant but only because he committed a felony. That's the laws.
@@burnerforpremium you're somewhat right due to poverty just as the white poor can't afford quality attorneys. So what's the difference?.currently we are being flooded by illegal immigrants. Over 5 million in less than two years of every nationality.I suppose they're coming to be abused by the justice system while being housed and fed by taxpayers until they settle. I have many minority friends who agree .it's no more than democrat propaganda making the minorities feel like victims so they will vote democratic.
Man if that many people warned me I would not go! I probably wouldn’t go if one person warned me You are very brave and a little bit crazy if you ask me!! 😮
Sin juzgar pero la historia del señor es muy contradictoria y no se si sea porque no quiso recordar o estaba pensando que decir al momento de que le preguntaba sobre lo que pasaba y lo más triste que no se sienta mexicano, está aquí porque prácticamente lo vetaron de EEUU si por el fuera no estuviera aquí en México, que lástima que le eche ganas a la vida en México solo porque un país le cerró las puertas y el aún anhelando vivir allá.
When I was in Cancun when it first opened in 1977, there were snakes in the streets. The local banditos rode down from the mountains and robbed everyone staying at Club Med. I got terribly sick from something I ate. Tulum was just jungle then.
First "opened" ?? WTF are you on about ? It was founded in 1970.. and even then,there were still people living in the area beforehand. There are no mountains in Cancun. WTF are you telling stories for ?? 🤣
I am not judging anyone but I don’t think the guy really told you the real or whole story of why he ended up in prison. The story doesn’t really make sense but what caught my attention more is when he said: “I got caught” hum. I am sorry for his loss though. Loosing his child is definitely the worse tragedy of his story.
You are absolute brilliant only started watching your videos thanks for sharing them from the UK 🇬🇧 😀❤. You a wonderful and really care about people Timmy..❤
Maybe if you are a legal resident or citizen they don’t. If you are Mexican yeah they do. My friend got sent to prison and deported for literally a speeding ticket. He was undocumented. I believe his story.
Esa si es la zona insegura de Cancun, no como la del italiano. Yo que soy de Cancun, no me paro ni loco ahi, una vez pase x ahi en una fiesta y me asaltaron, pero resulta que conocia a los asaltantes pprque estuduamos en la secundqria juntos y me llevaba bien con ellos, tomamos caminos diferentes
I'm from the United States I've been to Cancun about four times I jump in taxi cabs and bounce around to all little towns sometimes I walk the streets by myself I speak pretty good Spanish but I go there for a great time and I don't look for trouble I know the beaches have armed guards protecting the tourism but I still love traveling all over Mexico I have no problems walking the beaches at night time whether it's with my girlfriend or by myself I never had any worries about anything..I did 3 Tours of Vietnam I've been shot at I've been shot in the shoulder even at my age I'm not afraid of nothing like I said I go to Mexico for a good time as long as you enjoy yourself and you're not looking for trouble it's not going to stop me from going there every year I go deep sea fishing the guys are great on the boat always a great time in Mexico for me anyway.. I went into this little town it looked like 1950 hardly anybody around a lot of trash laying on the corners dogs running all over the place I met a guy that owned a restaurant I had a chicken quesadilla with hot sauce the owner was such a great guy he said I like your hat you have on it was a $35 fitted baseball hat I gave it to him even put it on his head he said thank you I have pictures with him and me with our thumbs up..👍 that's a good time..I'll go again in 2023 Why not..🏖..
While i do love his fun & positive energy, but it does seem like he can be pretty naive. I have noticed in many videos where people look annoyed w/ him and / or are uncomfortable when he touches them like they're already best buds I'm sure he has great intentions, but going around to residents saying "i heard this place is so dangerous but look it's great" (after tons of locals told him how dangerous it is), is a little insensitive and invalidates their experience of growing up there. Videos like this can come across a bit like emotional tourism...
You spent too much time listening to that guys BS dude… I know it’s romantic to believe that the people living in the worst part of the city are good honest folk who are down on their luck, but the reality is those sort of areas will attract the worst kind of people.
I sure hope that the man from North Carolina has a better turn in life and reunites with his family. The main fact is that his little girl died. Kindness, regret and sorrow should have been the response of all involved. But the way bureaucracy can - at times - make us think narrowly had a sad result. As you know, your videos are a little different - Keep smiling. In fact, while you don't show yourself all the time, which is a good thing, I hope to see you smile more. If your mission - should you choose to accept it - is successful, you will! God bless you.
Spot on, our "justice" systems seem to get it so entirely wrong far far to often. There's little space for actually just outcomes. I suspect that's why so many rallied around the Johnny Depp trial, he represented a guy standing up to domestic violence, abuse and injustice and in a way many of us, for lack of resources, simply can't. I'd just about bet that if Johnny's lawyer was on this guy's case it would be found he was infact innocent and further there'd be a huge payout/rectification of the situation!
@@yagirlafter5084 except that his daughter wants to visit him and his wife's been in contact etc etc which would all suggest that you should pay more attention ;-)
You just earn yourself a new sub!! I definitely would like some more information on that man with the story. Do you have anyway of getting in contact with him again. I would like to help him out.
PS: I travel all over the world and hate the tourist traps and always go and intermingle with the natives, people are people ,it's ALL about respect where ever one goes and don't step over people boundaries. People staying at a Hotel and tourist traps may as well stay home and watch TV ... they never get a chance to interact with the locals either way
Damn. I genuinely feel sorry for that guy u spoke with. Robbed 15 years of his life unfairly right after he lost his precious daughter 😓Then gets deported away!! I truly hope there are some great lawyers out there with a huge heart that would reach out to this man and help him out because it seems to me his humans rights have been violated greatly. Thank you for listening to him and giving him a voice. That was very heartwarming and thanks for being YOU.
I’ve seen Mexico first hand too. I would suggest visiting Monterrey if you are looking for a bad place to visit check out García in Monterrey. There are many places that look like that area you visited in this video. But Monterrey also has a very super wealthy side as well in some colonies you will find mansions. You should check out San Pedro, Garza García you would be amazed.
@@jordanmungomba9785 Yeah he's definitely leaving out important details. The guy started moving around a lot when he told the story about how his daughter died and he didn't seem sincere.
I live in a country that is considered only slightly safer than Mexico (but more dangerous in many ways), I've been to places that were considered very dangerous when I was a stupid young man and nothing happened to me. I think the perception of violence is exaggerated by people, as long as you don't do anything stupid nothing will happen to you. Drug traffickers aren't serial killers, they just want to make a profit.
His story about his daughter, and the baby he left alone did not make sense. No lawyer would tell him (an English speaker) that there is no hope because he is Mexican. There is something else in that story
What's up from Raleigh NC. Wish I knew the rest of that guys story or his name to look it up. I've only been here 10 years so never heard about it. I stumbled onto your videos and now I'm hooked. Keep doing what your doing.
Because its a bullcrap story. He said he was in prison in Raleigh but not that he lived there. He said it hapened 2003/ 2004 I dont see anything in NC about a 15 year sentence on someone for daughters death. I dont know if the whole damn story was a lie just to get sympathy or if he is lying about his daughter choking all I know is he is lying.
I've been to Cancun three times and have never had a bad experience there. I live in the States and there are places I won't go to because of all the crime. Mexican people are kind nice people! I too felt bad for the guy that went to prison. He suffered enough loosing a child. Going to prison was not necessary. That was so wrong!
You're a good guy. You showed a lot of compassion there. Even if he didn't tell you the whole story(he probably didn't) it was quite hard to hear. I think they're a reason he went no contact with his family after, there's probably more to that story.
Just like in the projects in California. I grew up in east Los Angeles. I now live in Barrio Las Torres in cd juarez. In the day its chill, because nobody does their dirt when it's light out. Around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, the interesting people start waking up. By 5 or so, they are out working supplying everyone's need for recreational chemicals or female companionship or very low priced, slightly used top of the line cell phones. Those of you talking about how you treat people with respect and they treat you with respect and you can go into the worst areas without problems, make me laugh. If you are truly in a bad area, nobody cares how "cool" you are or how laid-back etc. In bad areas of latin America, it's as bad as black housing projects. Like the old Cabrini green. The area he is in, really isn't bad.
That is crazy man with the story he's saying it's hard to believe they would lock you up like that if it was me I would have called the ambulance and check my daughter there's got to be a bigger story than this there's no way they can send somebody for 15 years like that it makes you think well brother thank you for the video and you be safe out there just be careful
I'm pretty sure he was in the US illegally so he got charged bc he didn't call 911 he probably thought he would get deported and or go to jail if he called and well ..he went anyway
I hate when people portray themselves as victims due to the color of their skin or their ethnicity. That guy either did something really wrong or they were confident that he did. I would love to know the facts of his case. No doubt he’s not telling the truth.
Timmy: "Where can I get haircut?"
That guy: "See over there? you can buy pirate movies from there."
Its bc he understood "peligro" as "pelicula. Peligro is danger, pelicula is movie
@@tocadadj2951 teach me ? I will be your student,
I don't think that guy told you the whole story
I agree completely. There's definitely more to this. You wouldn't get 15 years for that, especially since it would be considered at worst negligent vs intentional.
He probably did something he’s guilty for sure he was nervous
I agree more to that story
He killed his own kid. No country would want such trash in their country
He caused her death … prison time and his wife left the loser.
Born and raised in North Carolina. I’m a convicted felon that has never spent a day in prison. I say that to say that NC is lenient af when it comes to sentencing. Murderers regularly get less than 20 years here. 15 years is a SERIOUS crime, and what he described would never warrant that time. He either killed his daughter or is lying about the whole situation and did something completely different. Be safe Tim
Plus if he served 15 he probably got sentenced to longer right? I don't know about in NC but in Indiana you actually only serve half the time you're sentenced if you stay out of trouble.
Maybe your right, I know first hand, spiks get fucked by the system.
I live in NC but know nothing about sentencing norms. Looking at his body language and story inconsistencies, he did time for something else. Maybe he killed his daughter accidentally (probably less time, though), or they went back to his apartment and found a serious stash of drugs. 15 years + deportation sounds like a plea agreement..
They’re racist af if he did something his wife wouldn’t let him see his other daughter
I believe Fed sentences have mandatory times that are spent in jail. Sounds like he may have gone down on Fed charges.@@bigmonk802
We don’t send people away to prison for 15 years for “not calling an ambulance” vs taking a child to the hospital. Way more to that story.
Yes they do. It's called neglect
if you are hispanic they will do anything they don’t care
Who is "we". They still chopping hands off for stealing.
Yes they do. He left his 6 month old with a already dead baby. Neglect
Maybe illegal? Deported?
My respect for you just went up a lot after that conversation with that guy... Love how you were genuinely interested in the guys story and even offered him suggestions of going somewhere safer
He killed his kid, he's the person that's making people unsafe
@@cmw8216 his DIDNT kill his kid on purpose stupid! He tried to save her by going to the hospital thinking it was a faster option than the ambulance. they charged him with murder because they are racist asf, just like you.. Things happen he shouldnt have to feel guilty for trying to save his child. he's a good man...
@@cmw8216 If what he said was true, he haven't killed his kid. I mean, hospital was 5 minutes of driving. It would take more than 5 minutes for ambulance to come. So it is probably better to drive the kid to the hospital in this case. Problem is, he haven't knew how to first aid..
@plantaznik266 You don't get arrested for driving your child to the hospital. That is my point. This guy is saying that's why he went to jail because the truth, that he caused the death, makes him look like a bad guy.
@@plantaznik266 The story is missing some info for sure,
Definitely not telling the whole truth. 15 years in prison he did something very wrong probably to that child.
💯...a few times he said "when I got caught". Caught doing what?
Yeah if his story was true that would have been a media sensation. There is something he isnt telling, he was probably cartel.
@@J.AlvarezMelburn bro but you can tell by the way he speaks English. It's not the best. His trying to describe it the best way possible. I was raised in the US as a kid. Right now I'm 23 and I struggle with a lot of words to describe sometimes. You can't just assume things cause of the way his saying words that may not go together with what his trying to explain. Lol
@Saulito Papirrin cool story mate...his English is good enough. But hey, we can all have our own opinions. Lol
@@J.AlvarezMelburn exactly
That guy had to have left some things out of that story. Something isn’t adding up there. Our legal system wouldn’t punish you like for an honest mistake of your own daughter randomly choking to death. If it is completely true though, that is heartbreaking.
FACTS... I felt the same. He said twice when I got CAUGHT, and @10:24 he slipped answering Tim's question why was he in prison. He said first "FOR RUNNING" Another thing is his wife would just divorce him just like that? One more thing, every deportation is different. My kids father was deported for 5 years..his brother was deported for 10 years after prison time in the USA.
@@sallysanchez2805 he said "I mean" at 10:24 he didn't say running
Ya! Something happened. Maybe just maybe he’s telling the through. 🤨🧐🤔🥴🥴
I have a few friends that are undocumented and got in a little mishap. Turned out they got prison, lost good paying jobs and the wife and family along with the homes they owned. Something simple put them in prison then got deported after prison. One of my friends had his house taken by the judges son and to this day still lives in it... so yes we have a legal system but it's only fair for a few
Our legal system sucks! Our legal system is built to find guilt not innocence, it is a big cooperation disguised as justice. I always find it crazy that ppl really believe in the “just us” system
Yo Timmy did you really believe the guy’s story? Come on man. He was leaving some important things out of the his story. He definitely did something very negligent he is not telling you. No one gets 15 years in Prison for not calling the ambulance.
Seems fishy to me too. A lot was left out in the details
Sounds like child abuse or sex offender fasho
He wouldn’t have spent so much time in jail. His story is weird for sure. He also didn’t want to work the hotel area because they probably won’t hire him.
His story does not add up
This dude left out some very important details you do not do 15 years for your child dying on the way to the hospital from being sick there’s more to it obviously neglect maybe child abuse maybe he did it to the child maybe he killed his own child
Mexican who lives in the US. I don’t believe the guys story but I find it very sweet that you were moved by the thought of injustice. Many injustices happen to immigrants but that man left out too many details. ❤️🇲🇽
lol okay, as if mexicans arent treated like shit in the U.S especially if you arent legal, plus thats a red state
his story was fishy for sure, and the fact that he got nervous after the guy asked him what happened to his daughter beforehand... doesn't help.
but ngl the food looks incredible
Go at night and will see
21 years in law enforcement dealing with criminals I love how evasive, deflective and 1/2 true telling this guy is. He’s literally oozing guilty out of every pore. I’m sorry about his daughter but his hands have blood on them and it’s not for not calling an ambulance. Driving there can be argued as reasonable and no jury would ever convict someone on that.
agree
Agree, you can tell he is withholding info. He left his other daughter as well, nobody talked to him after. He’s guilty for killing her. Autopsy tells all
how many people did you use excessive force on while you were in the swine club?
22 years in law enforcement and I disagree with your assessment
Guilty as hell it's in the eyes

Right I lived in the worse neighborhood of west Phoenix AZ. Shootings every night. My family would visit for a day and say "Why do you hate it here, it's calm and nice here" okay then....stay a few nights here and you will see what I'm talking about.
I completely agree with this comment
Appreciate your life! That should be the first thing on your list Timmy!
yes totally agree plus spreading false information which would encourage other ppl to go there after watching your video saying oh it’s totally safe maybe you were safe for first time but wouldn’t be for the second, don’t take risk in Mexico, crazy decision
True. No matter how good loving our intentions are, it may mean nothing there. It's completely different values than ones we are used to. Our world and theirs are like night and day. They don't come to ours and we don't go to theirs. That's the mutual unsaid understanding we share. Things like this may lead conflict. Folks from both sides may lose lives unnecessarily.
Greeks are some of the most exploring & travel spirit. It was cool to see this walking tour & chatting with the locals. Be safe
That guy was so full of it, he did something to that child. I know a person that i went to highschool with who did 5 years in prison for negligence that led to death of their child. That dude is leaving something big out of his story
Once again you deserve an award for another one of your vlogs. Unlike many of the other traveling youtubers, one really gets that you genuinely care about the people you meet and interview, and that you are not simply there just to exploit these people. Thanks for letting Alex tell his story and for actually listening and caring, while letting the world know what happened to him. You have excellent energy my man, and good karma to you in the future.
agreed, some of these other travel vloggers are kinda creepy
yes for real
true
Tim you got a good heart but you’re young and naïve in the USA no one goes to prison because they didn’t call an ambulance, here’s what I think the guy had a fight with his wife somehow the little girl gets hurt maybe he pushed her by accident he takes her to the hospital she dies he gets 15 . she divorces him and just before he gets out after 15 years she brings the daughter to see him because he’s going to get deported and she’ll never see him again. But don’t be naïve he got 15 years because he had something to do with the death of his daughter which thankfully they considered an accident otherwise he’ll be inthere for life.

I caught that, too. USA isn't just going to lock you up for trying to save your daughter from choking. Come on!!! Plus leaving your 6 m9nth old at home alone. They will lock you up for that. This guy was totally lying

Bro Tim, I'm the same way you are. I love going to neighborhoods off-the-beaten-path and meeting the local people and whatnot. I grew up in a really bad neighborhood and I've seen people die in front of me and lots of terrible things. So I have a different outlook when I travel to neighborhoods that other people don't go in. I usually get along with everybody fine. You treat everybody with respect so you have a less chance of getting disrespected. Awesome videos bro! Can't wait to see more
If you aren’t from somewhere and the cab driver is telling you he won’t even go there and you decide to go anyways you are asking for something to happen. Keep pushing your luck thinking that all people are good as long as you are good that’s not how the world works.
so smart to just think you can Threat cold blooded killers and terrorist with „respect“ and it will just be fine? Haha
@Serendipity exactly what I was thinking... yeah you may be good a majority of the time but there are so many that will kill you just because you're a strange face .
@@zoRN-f2f you're right. Its not always as simple as "respect". But when someone grows up in a neighborhood full of killers, you have a better understanding of a "killer" environment, versus somebody who has no idea about that side of life. It's like the saying goes, "you can't scam a scammer". That's the concept I'm getting at.
@@SoWellDunn just remember that 90% of the world is afraid of their own shadow. I grew up in a terrible neighborhood in Detroit where people are being shot and killed everyday and overdosing on the front lawn. And I will tell you that everybody would say not to go to that neighborhood, everybody would say that's a dangerous neighborhood. It's just like Chicago, everybody I talk to is afraid to go to the outskirts of Chicago especially at night, Tampa, Miami. But yet I've been to all those areas. All the areas that people say are dangerous, don't go there. I've been to all of them. Obviously most importantly you have to have wits about yourself. So just because somebody is afraid to go to a neighborhood doesn't mean it's a bad neighborhood. I mean I know so many people in the United States who are afraid to go to Cancun Mexico because they think they're going to get kidnapped and robbed. Come on. If you let people's fear dictate your life then you might as well not travel anywhere. You might as well stay in the house and not leave.
That's what Cancun looks like almost everywhere once you leave the touristy areas. My father lives in Cancun and all the houses look like that almost everywhere. I've always said Cancun looks ugly once you get to the real Cancun. It doesn't have the charm that other older cities of Mexico have. It doesn't have that nice layout. It's literally a city that was slapped together and grew so quickly due to the tourism that started developing. People from all over Mexico ended up in Cancun looking for work and they started to eventually just build all these little tiny homes and communities.

I wonder how many languages Tim speaks! I grew up in Fl and the Midwest- more and half my life was in S Florida. Although I used very little Spanish that I learned in grade school when I was in the Midwest, I picked back up after 2 yr back in Fl. But ur Spanish is still better than mine! Good job. I love the Greeks and Greek language! I spent a month in 1995 wandering all over Greece. I’d learned the alphabet and phonetics before I went so that I could catch buses and read signs/ etc. in 1995! Much less was in English then AND it was the best time, we could still walk in the acropolis! Delfi! All the places with ancient temples and ruins. Not the same today, I’m so glad I spent that time, years ago in your country! I might hop over to Greece for a few days in March when I go to travel with my 21 yr old. We are gonna “wander” in Italy! I’ll be traveling for a month and I love that u are out enjoying the world too Tim!
Drinking the water is way more dangerous than that neighborhood 😂
Great video, always down to talk to anyone. I’m glad people are seeing the side of Mexico that no one knows about. I suggest visiting Cuautla Morelos you will definitely like the vibe there and of course the food and people
You are correct. Bad things happen to bad people. But bad things happen to good people too. There's no rhyme or reason to evil people or someone that thinks you're a mark.
This may also be reaching a little bit, but most people who experience that level of real trauma aren’t as eager to share the story as this guy was to a complete stranger
Tbh I'm quite sure that guy did some really really bad things and you can notice how he needed to think of stories in between the talking. At least that's my impression.
Mexican guy : i had 3 charges to sit 15 years in prison
1 i did not call the ambulance
2 i left my other 6 months old baby at home alone ( with the Baby sitter who say'd the baby was sick and did not wanted to eat and then 10 min later he rushed to the Hospital ) so the 6 month old baby was not alone
3 we have some technical problems confirming number 3
your wife..?
Mexican guy : yeahhh well... she was at work at that moment / time or day i dunno man...
it is like me telling you : Yo man... listen up ! i had jumped of a 6 story telling building trying to save a Cat that jumps of the roof... it was like crazy br0 ! for real... i catch the cat mid air and when we landed on the roof we went straight trough it and killed the old lady who was just watching tv ow and the cat also died... they gave me 25 years man trying to save the Cat and that i did not call a ambulance...
This looks more like paying the victim Card... because why would they charge you when you drive your daughter choking to the hospital to save her life ? that is such a weird story... absolutely 0 empathy from the judge or jury what so ever... just because your Mexican and that is the reason. everyone hates you because your not American after something like this horrible happens they will give you 15 years just like that. Nou that sounds like some true HOOOORSE SJIIIIIIIIIIIT to me booooooooy
that evening : ajajajajaa that gringo ! he believed the 15 year old story AJAJAJAJAJAJAAAA guns shooting in the air drinking Tequila
shitty situation : so they could have let you go to mexico but in stead hold the Mexican guy for 15 years witch cost allot for any American citizen and in that process they know for sure breaking up the family and destroy everything he has that he is so depressed ( The guy wanted to kill him self for god sake ) they know for sure he would be happy to be free even moving back to Mexico... so that must have been the main reason rather just deport him back straight away. was it bad in prison ? Mexican was like owww nooo nonono the air was nice and the men oee laa laa it was like a walk in the Park in the weekend.
i would be probably dead the moment he told me that story, hahahahaa funny joke the Mexican guy would have say'd : here eat some free lead Puto

I’m from a very bad neighborhood myself. The thing about so called bad places. Most of the people are just people. The crime can happen anywhere. Usually a neighborhood is bad because the people that are supposed to protect it don’t do their jobs.
Very well said
It's bad because people are in poor economic conditions, so there's a number of them who will resort to crime. It is not the police not doing their job, but that does worsen the issue. I grew up in a neighborhood where most people don't suffer economically, so I haven't seen a crime or anything crazy there for 11 years. It isn't safe because of the police, the police have easy jobs there because few residents feel the need to commit crimes out of necessity.
@@HawaiiDEEPS not just the police force but the corruption of the actual government who collaborate with cartels to put extra money in their pocket. The entire government and police force are compromised. Certain areas are policed exclusively by the cartel who enforce their own versions of Justice. It’s true that in these areas, there’s really no one around to protect the law abiding citizens if shit goes down.
LOL That guy was not put in prison for 15 years for not calling an ambulance. Typical lying convict. Tim, I know you're young, but you need to quit being so naive. For sure that guy's story is at least 75% bullshit.
They will put u in jail for your kids dying in your hands and for leaving a 6 month baby at home by her self is another charge he admitted that it’s called child endangerment for the 6 month being at home by her self and the other charge was not for the ambulance not being called it’s because he waited to long to take her to the hospital and I’m probably sure he did not want in ambulance bill so he decided to take her but she was probably already dead so he got charged for involuntary death that charge alone is anywhere from
3 years to 10 years in jail plus the time he got for leaving the 6month baby by her self probably gave him the extra 5 years. He fucked up but he ain’t saying he didn’t
bad things happen to good people as well...I've travelled all around Mexico, and no longer have the need to visit really dangerous places, especially for views on social media.
This is a good example of how Timmy gets along so well with people, he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. A lot of people, including myself would think that guy was guilty and wouldnt have had the long chat with him .
Seriously. Maybe he wanted content. But if u are a good person u keep it moving from that guy
Tim, I don't know how I found your vlog but you are a great spirit my young friend. I have traveled to
Cancun and Dominican and French Guadeloupe and I agree with you. Poverty is not a crime. There are wonderful people in these places and not because it is politically correct to say that now. You have a character to make friends wherever you go and it will serve you well in life. I won't say I came from a tough school but we had our own coroner. We wrote essays like "what I want to be if I grow up". Just playing son. Keep your attitude of wonder and it will serve you well. New subscriber. Happy trails.
The system in the USA is truly unjust. My undocumented friend got stopped by a cop for walking outside late at night. Next thing he’s being sent to prison and then gets deported. So yeah, his story seems very real.
from what you described you had a friend who illegally entered a country, drew suspicion to themselves late at night, suspicion that was obviously deserved if they were doing something illegal enough that resulted in them being sent to prison after which they were deported for the illegal entry and criminal behavior. That doesn't sound really sound all that unjust
@@justingarret4776 His parents brought him to the USA since he was a baby. In racist GOP controlled Texas, cops can literally stop you for anything if you are black or Mexican “looking” whether you act suspicious or not. This was big controversy a few years ago (during the time he got apprehended). Walking to your home late at night from a friend’s house is nothing suspicious. He had no weapons, was not disturbing anyone. He was literally just walking home late at night on concrete sidewalk. Hell I used to do it back then all of the time too. You know there is nothing wrong with this but your hate for undocumented people makes you say it’s “sUsPicIous”. For fucks sake US Citizens do this all of the time too so don’t come at me all kinds of stupid. Fact is, the system in the USA truly is unjust. Hell even against US citizens.
Luckly, after my friend got out of prison and then deported, he came right back to the USA illegally and is now raising a family in peace here in the USA. Your laws won’t work, Justin🤣
@@shdws182 man this touched my heart , the second mother of my children had a friend who has lived in the us since a baby but was not a us citizen by law , even went to schools and everything and was recently deported from Texas and children taken away all because she was arrested for not having license or insurance . To me the us is not the land of opportunity when good people are being deported instead of given a chance . For some it's not easy to just come right back 😢
Anti immigration laws arent racist you little cuck beta
@@shdws182the system is unjust “against people who are here illegally” is what u mean . I’m sorry you do not live in reality and think only certain laws have to be obeyed
That guy is lying a lot. There is no charge for not calling an ambulance.
I love your outlook on life. You have a belief that all people have some good. Your heard broke listening to the man at store and didn't even know what to say. I love to watch these videos because I love exploring the world. We get to see what you see through your eyes/lens. God bless you.
I love what you said at the end about the majority of people are good and kind. Please be safe in your travels, my friend!
11:37 bro is spinning a story about his daughter on the spot, i dont believe thats true and timmy believe everything lol🤣🤣
yuup. i didn't wanna doubt dude even tho the first impressions in the convo but dude's def did some shit!
Right @10:24 he says "I was running" when Timmy asked why he was in prison. He stated "when I was CAUGHT" he said it twice. His English is perfect. There's NO mistaking for "when I was ARRESTED"
You're just a fool who finds it hard to trust other people
Wow what a story. He still has the strength to keep going after all this happens to him.
He not telling the full truth you can tell he leaving some shit out
The ONLY thing I can't agree with here is you saying "bad things happen to bad people, I'm a good person so I'll be fine"
I WISH that were true, but it simply is not. Other than that, cool video, big respect for going!
Left a 6 month at home but had to pick poorly daughter up from baby sitter to take her hospital..bollox..stuttering he’s words..he did something bad to that child..
Life comes around in the wildest ways being 24yrs and meeting someone who’s older who had something huge happen at your age is ultimate self awareness
"My friend, is it dangerous over there?"
"Yes they kill a lot of people there."
"Ok i want to go there."
Why even bother asking if its dangerous then ahahahaahhah. Love ur vids dude
I enjoy your videos and and I will tell you the same thing that I’ve left on a Kurt video. When locals tell you to be careful and that it’s dangerous they don’t mean that the second you get there you’re gonna have 48 holes in your body. You are watched. Day and night by many. Especially when the local gang members that usually control those areas have people you don’t think otherwise to be informers. And when you feel most safe, you wake up tied up or don’t wake up at all. Just always be careful. You guys are all too young to lose your lives over an ego trip.
Thats the comment I was looking for. Totally true, 24hs in dangerous places mean nothing, the real problem is spend a entire life there.
George Michael on the bus is such a fire soundtrack to a Mexican Cartel video haha
God bless the guy who lost his daughter however, that was a big ass lie… No one in this country does 15 years in prison for not calling an ambulance most especially if he actually ended up at the hospital with her…
Did he say he was in Raleigh, NC? Some of the best hospitals in the USA. What’s disgusting is you falling for that BS story. It’s not illegal not to call an ambulance. Did the child suffer a head injury? Those are the symptoms.
U r simply so good hearted bro
χάρηκα πάρα πολύ που είδα το βηδιο σας!
είσαι καλό παιδί και πολύ σεβαστικος.

It was an honor to watch your video and be a part of your audience. Much respect to you my man!
My parents come from Greece 🇬🇷 and my brothers and I were born in Canada. We all live in Vancouver and I travel to Greece every chance I get.
You should come to visit Vancouver, B.C., Canada. It is a very beautiful city in Beautiful British Columbia, our province.
Your Spanish is excellent by the way. I thought you were Latino, but your English accent gave it away. I knew you were Greek right away!
Stay safe out there, and if you ever decide to visit Vancouver, let me know.
Kindest and best regards
Can he even come to Canada? Didn't Communist Justin Trudeau close the borders?? Friends I know can't even cross over from here to see their Family.
Say hi to your parents from 🇦🇲 man.
Always pleasure to see greek language. Even tho cant even read)
@Player thanks my man 👍
Ha!!! I just wrote the same thing. Cheers from Newton
Loved how Careless Whisper was playing in the first bus
Tim is so naive 😂 he believes anything a persons says
Na he's just a kind person . Doesn't mean he's gullible. But when you don't know someone it's disrespectful to call them a liar

13.45 When he says"when I got caught"nothing else needs said,other than the only reason why he was"arrested 9 days later"he ran from the hospital..........He took his daughter to hospital after she died,and split before the police showed up,they("caught") found him 9 days later.......SIMPLE....A judge would never say, because you are Mexican,never.The case would have been thrown out for being prejudice.......Timmy stop being so gulable ,think ,before you do get hurt, more than just your feelings,and don't judge US because of this guys lie,insinuating he was treated unfair because of color ,that didn't happen..really not cool.why didn't he have his citizenship?He was there long enough to have it,and a 16 yr.old can't visit prison without an adult,if the mother brought her they both need US I.D. so what was it,leagal or ill-leagal family?The story has holes all over it,and this Timmy guy is WOW,,,,,dumb.100 bucks this is deleted.....
@@anthonysporty3395 you can be kind - that does not be necessarily mean you’re gullible. Emotional intelligence. Though I agree with the comments on here that the guy has done something very serious to be sent to prison for a long time and been deported out of the USA. He doesn’t show any remorse or anger about being sentenced for the death of his daughter. He hasn’t mentioned his daughter that he misses her or that he’s devastated that his daughter died. He is emotion less , I believe he’s lying
man this is so heartbreaking, I hope this mans daughter sees this video. my guy has been through so much, thank you for sharing his story
I just saw your video, and I'm sorry that you believed that guy. 1) The only prison in Raleigh is a maximum security prison; 2) You don't get 15 years for not knowing how to respond to a medial emergency or for responding to it irrationally; 3) in my early working life I was employed in the Diagnostic Center at that prison and the people housed there are some of the state's worst. His story was bogus. If he was in prison because of his daughter's death, then he killed her. Sounds like he might have chocked her to death. Let me know his name if you have it and I'll see what I can find out.
that story was insane, holy shit
DALE PERREO DALE PERREO
FREAKITONA FREAKITONA BLOOD X BLOOD SECOND PART MIKLO CRUZITO
I live close to Raleigh, North Carolina. I almost certainly believe the guy was playing you as a narcissistic victim of injustice .minorities in the USA are frequently released with a slap on the wrist and the shortest amount of prison time because of overcrowded prisons.if he had spent 15 years in prison ,it was without a doubt a very serious offense and probably a fraction of what the law requires. He was also deported because he was illegal immigrant but only because he committed a felony. That's the laws.
What?? Minorities are treated like garbage in the US legal system.
@@burnerforpremium you're somewhat right due to poverty just as the white poor can't afford quality attorneys. So what's the difference?.currently we are being flooded by illegal immigrants. Over 5 million in less than two years of every nationality.I suppose they're coming to be abused by the justice system while being housed and fed by taxpayers until they settle. I have many minority friends who agree .it's no more than democrat propaganda making the minorities feel like victims so they will vote democratic.
This guy is clearly lying, he did something messed up
Ireland man 🇮🇪 David South watching your videos. Absolutely awesome man🌟
Man if that many people warned me I would not go! I probably wouldn’t go if one person warned me You are very brave and a little bit crazy if you ask me!! 😮
Sin juzgar pero la historia del señor es muy contradictoria y no se si sea porque no quiso recordar o estaba pensando que decir al momento de que le preguntaba sobre lo que pasaba y lo más triste que no se sienta mexicano, está aquí porque prácticamente lo vetaron de EEUU si por el fuera no estuviera aquí en México, que lástima que le eche ganas a la vida en México solo porque un país le cerró las puertas y el aún anhelando vivir allá.
When I was in Cancun when it first opened in 1977, there were snakes in the streets.
The local banditos rode down from the mountains and robbed everyone staying at
Club Med. I got terribly sick from something I ate. Tulum was just jungle then.
First "opened" ?? WTF are you on about ? It was founded in 1970.. and even then,there were still people living in the area beforehand. There are no mountains in Cancun. WTF are you telling stories for ?? 🤣
@Liberated Entrepreneur There are many mountains to the East and it was "Opened" as an International holiday centre in 1970.
Crazy Days
@@liberatedentrepreneur149 it wasn't founded, it was purposefully developed
Mountains? That area is allmost as flat as Florida. I think you are confusing this with perhaps Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan or Acopulco?
I am not judging anyone but I don’t think the guy really told you the real or whole story of why he ended up in prison. The story doesn’t really make sense but what caught my attention more is when he said: “I got caught” hum. I am sorry for his loss though. Loosing his child is definitely the worse tragedy of his story.
You are absolute brilliant only started watching your videos thanks for sharing them from the UK 🇬🇧 😀❤. You a wonderful and really care about people Timmy..❤
Bro here in the USA they don't just change you with a crime for no reason, he didn't tell you the whole story
Maybe if you are a legal resident or citizen they don’t. If you are Mexican yeah they do. My friend got sent to prison and deported for literally a speeding ticket. He was undocumented. I believe his story.
@@shdws182 illegal so he broke the rules…duh
@@shdws182if you believe his story you are terrible at reading people
Esa si es la zona insegura de Cancun, no como la del italiano. Yo que soy de Cancun, no me paro ni loco ahi, una vez pase x ahi en una fiesta y me asaltaron, pero resulta que conocia a los asaltantes pprque estuduamos en la secundqria juntos y me llevaba bien con ellos, tomamos caminos diferentes
I'm from the United States I've been to Cancun about four times I jump in taxi cabs and bounce around to all little towns sometimes I walk the streets by myself I speak pretty good Spanish but I go there for a great time and I don't look for trouble I know the beaches have armed guards protecting the tourism but I still love traveling all over Mexico I have no problems walking the beaches at night time whether it's with my girlfriend or by myself I never had any worries about anything..I did 3 Tours of Vietnam I've been shot at I've been shot in the shoulder even at my age I'm not afraid of nothing like I said I go to Mexico for a good time as long as you enjoy yourself and you're not looking for trouble it's not going to stop me from going there every year I go deep sea fishing the guys are great on the boat always a great time in Mexico for me anyway.. I went into this little town it looked like 1950 hardly anybody around a lot of trash laying on the corners dogs running all over the place I met a guy that owned a restaurant I had a chicken quesadilla with hot sauce the owner was such a great guy he said I like your hat you have on it was a $35 fitted baseball hat I gave it to him even put it on his head he said thank you I have pictures with him and me with our thumbs up..👍 that's a good time..I'll go again in 2023 Why not..🏖..
is your shoulder messed up now from the shot?
You're promoting the misery and exploitation for your own clout
While i do love his fun & positive energy, but it does seem like he can be pretty naive.
I have noticed in many videos where people look annoyed w/ him and / or are uncomfortable when he touches them like they're already best buds
I'm sure he has great intentions, but going around to residents saying "i heard this place is so dangerous but look it's great" (after tons of locals told him how dangerous it is), is a little insensitive and invalidates their experience of growing up there.
Videos like this can come across a bit like emotional tourism...
You spent too much time listening to that guys BS dude… I know it’s romantic to believe that the people living in the worst part of the city are good honest folk who are down on their luck, but the reality is those sort of areas will attract the worst kind of people.
Stay safe brother, I truly enjoy your videos.
He’s not telling you the exact story.
Bro be careful damn. I’m happy you meant that men and we heard his story. I also once heard a story about somebody deported in El Salvador that I met.
I sure hope that the man from North Carolina has a better turn in life and reunites with his family. The main fact is that his little girl died. Kindness, regret and sorrow should have been the response of all involved. But the way bureaucracy can - at times - make us think narrowly had a sad result. As you know, your videos are a little different - Keep smiling. In fact, while you don't show yourself all the time, which is a good thing, I hope to see you smile more. If your mission - should you choose to accept it - is successful, you will! God bless you.
Spot on, our "justice" systems seem to get it so entirely wrong far far to often. There's little space for actually just outcomes. I suspect that's why so many rallied around the Johnny Depp trial, he represented a guy standing up to domestic violence, abuse and injustice and in a way many of us, for lack of resources, simply can't. I'd just about bet that if Johnny's lawyer was on this guy's case it would be found he was infact innocent and further there'd be a huge payout/rectification of the situation!
Yall some gullible ass folks. He said he got caught. He got 15 years for killing his 3 yr old daughter. His family don't ever want to see him again.
@@yagirlafter5084 except that his daughter wants to visit him and his wife's been in contact etc etc which would all suggest that you should pay more attention ;-)
Wow just wow. Timmy your videos are great. So much more than just travel and culture. Great job 👍
I think that guy was telling you a bunch of BS to get your sympathy and money.
You just earn yourself a new sub!! I definitely would like some more information on that man with the story. Do you have anyway of getting in contact with him again. I would like to help him out.
I’m walking around in Mexico in the most dangerous place and nobody gives af about me..
Random stranger: hola 👋
😂😂😂
Gracias
PS: I travel all over the world and hate the tourist traps and always go and intermingle with the natives, people are people ,it's ALL about respect where ever one goes and don't step over people boundaries. People staying at a Hotel and tourist traps may as well stay home and watch TV ... they never get a chance to interact with the locals either way
Damn. I genuinely feel sorry for that guy u spoke with. Robbed 15 years of his life unfairly right after he lost his precious daughter 😓Then gets deported away!! I truly hope there are some great lawyers out there with a huge heart that would reach out to this man and help him out because it seems to me his humans rights have been violated greatly. Thank you for listening to him and giving him a voice. That was very heartwarming and thanks for being YOU.
You are naive
You're just as naive as Timmy 😂
Ciao ragazzo mi piace il coraggio e l'empatia divertentente che trasmetti... GRANDE !!! ....saluti da Genova ( ITALY )
You should go to Sinaloa or Michcoan if you want to see the Cartel, Cancun is a paradise or go to Mexico City bro you'll get great content over there.
Difference between cartels and regular gangs is that the cartels have specific targets and goals while gangs are flat out stupid
He won’t though. He is just trying to get attention.
Bros gonna die in Sinaloa 💀
Cancun a paradise ?? You need to travel more. There is plenty of cartel activity in that city. Try getting out.
Cancun the other side is not really all paradise, Google the stories of what happened in Cancun to tourists not too long ago
He said his daughter was sick, she didn’t want to eat and then later he said she died by chocking on a ham and egg sandwich? Sounds very weird.
And how he didn't call an ambulance. Very weird.
I’ve seen Mexico first hand too. I would suggest visiting Monterrey if you are looking for a bad place to visit check out García in Monterrey. There are many places that look like that area you visited in this video. But Monterrey also has a very super wealthy side as well in some colonies you will find mansions. You should check out San Pedro, Garza García you would be amazed.
Don't give him ideas about visiting bad places.
This video really took a turn
Best wishes for the guy
That conversation with the guy really was something else! Wow what a story!
Don't believe it
Seems like the father killed his daughter
Oh man. Such a sad story about that man’s daughter. Horrible. God bless this man and his family
Read his movements, his story doesn’t seem right , he definitely had something to do with it.
@@jordanmungomba9785 Yeah he's definitely leaving out important details. The guy started moving around a lot when he told the story about how his daughter died and he didn't seem sincere.
Safe to say there’s a lot of things missing from the story
I live in a country that is considered only slightly safer than Mexico (but more dangerous in many ways), I've been to places that were considered very dangerous when I was a stupid young man and nothing happened to me. I think the perception of violence is exaggerated by people, as long as you don't do anything stupid nothing will happen to you. Drug traffickers aren't serial killers, they just want to make a profit.
His story about his daughter, and the baby he left alone did not make sense. No lawyer would tell him (an English speaker) that there is no hope because he is Mexican. There is something else in that story
What's up from Raleigh NC. Wish I knew the rest of that guys story or his name to look it up. I've only been here 10 years so never heard about it. I stumbled onto your videos and now I'm hooked. Keep doing what your doing.
Because its a bullcrap story. He said he was in prison in Raleigh but not that he lived there. He said it hapened 2003/ 2004 I dont see anything in NC about a 15 year sentence on someone for daughters death. I dont know if the whole damn story was a lie just to get sympathy or if he is lying about his daughter choking all I know is he is lying.
Be careful who you record. That's dangerous man... You never know whose on the run.
I've been to Cancun three times and have never had a bad experience there. I live in the States and there are places I won't go to because of all the crime. Mexican people are kind nice people! I too felt bad for the guy that went to prison. He suffered enough loosing a child. Going to prison was not necessary. That was so wrong!
You're a good guy. You showed a lot of compassion there. Even if he didn't tell you the whole story(he probably didn't) it was quite hard to hear. I think they're a reason he went no contact with his family after, there's probably more to that story.
That man felt his guilt and wanted to share. Good of you to give an ear. Guilty or not, sometimes to just listen, is the best medicine.
Just like in the projects in California. I grew up in east Los Angeles. I now live in Barrio Las Torres in cd juarez. In the day its chill, because nobody does their dirt when it's light out. Around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, the interesting people start waking up. By 5 or so, they are out working supplying everyone's need for recreational chemicals or female companionship or very low priced, slightly used top of the line cell phones. Those of you talking about how you treat people with respect and they treat you with respect and you can go into the worst areas without problems, make me laugh. If you are truly in a bad area, nobody cares how "cool" you are or how laid-back etc. In bad areas of latin America, it's as bad as black housing projects. Like the old Cabrini green. The area he is in, really isn't bad.
That is crazy man with the story he's saying it's hard to believe they would lock you up like that if it was me I would have called the ambulance and check my daughter there's got to be a bigger story than this there's no way they can send somebody for 15 years like that it makes you think well brother thank you for the video and you be safe out there just be careful
I'm pretty sure he was in the US illegally so he got charged bc he didn't call 911 he probably thought he would get deported and or go to jail if he called and well ..he went anyway
Glad the pos illegal was deported. Murderer.
Non of that is true. He probably killed them both. You don't get 15 years in jail for not calling ambulance. Its all bullshit
I hate when people portray themselves as victims due to the color of their skin or their ethnicity. That guy either did something really wrong or they were confident that he did. I would love to know the facts of his case. No doubt he’s not telling the truth.
Yup it’s suspicious to me
Out of curiosity are you a white person ? Or do you live in the USA
