Missing American Travis Timmerman found wandering barefoot outside Damascus
DAMASCUS, Syria — An American man who identified himself as Pete Travis Timmerman was found in a suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus by local residents on Thursday.
Timmerman was last seen in Budapest, Hungary, in early June. On Thursday, he told reporters in Damascus that he had been on a pilgrimage and was detained earlier this year after crossing into Syria on foot from Lebanon.
Locals in the town of al-Thiyabiyah found the 29-year-old man as he wandered barefoot on the streets in the early hours of the morning.
In an interview with Arabic TV news channel Al-Arabiya, Timmerman said that he had been held in isolation in a prison cell and that he was released when opposition forces stormed Damascus and overthrew President Bashar al-Assad. He said he hadn't been beaten but could hear other people being tortured.

I'm glad he's safe and what a dumbass. Isn't 29 a bit old for such stunts?

Woooooooooooooooooooooow. This dude is beyond lucky to be alive. I’m in shock and awe. I’m happy for him, but he will for sure need trauma therapy at some point too.

He looks like he could be autistic.

If we are going by DL diagnoses, there are more people on America with autism than without.

This guy is a dumb fucking Missouri fundie bumpkin and a total idiot with reporters. He wanted to do some "where Jesus walked" bullshit and had no idea he walked into a 14 year war zone . Idiot.

I didn't know Jesus went to Syria. I thought he was local to Jerusalem.

How'd he get such a nice haircut in the Syrian prison?

God watches over drunks and fools. He's the latter, and very lucky.
