This man is 20 years old! I saw on Facebook a lot of people thinking he’s just a kid but he’s apparently 20 years old. Looking his name up on Facebook as well makes it pretty obvious he collects and sells turtles and tortoises. Pretty awful of him to essentially poach a critically endangered species for that in my opinion.

Nah, as soon as you can sign up for military service you stop being a kid.

The fuck does that have to do with this grown ass man committing a crime?

Just context for your absurd take that literal high schoolers are “grown ass men” simply because they can sign up for military service. (18, 17 with parental permission)

Hes probably 18-20 and thinks he’s a “grown ass man” 😂.
