Not sure why this is supposed to be funny. She's an American citizen being held by an authoritarian state on charges that may not be completely bogus, but clearly are being spun up for geopolitical purposes. You don't have to like somebody to understand when they're being railroaded.



Please, tell us more.

Sounds like you should go live in russia or an authoritarian country if you think someone should rot in prison just because you don’t like their opinion. Pretty unamerican of you

Or

She fricked around and found out

Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, was detained at the Moscow airport after vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis were allegedly found in her luggage, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.


I lean on charges being legit, because nobody really knows who she is. She would not be the leverage Putin would seek against the USA. If twitter did not exist, this would have not made the news. Twitter bots, doing twitter bots things.

That’s why our country is great. Someone can have that opinion and not fear they’ll be thrown in prison. You sound like someone who thinks only their opinion of an issue is correct if you are happy someone should “rot in prison” for some cannabis oil.

I bet you scream about freedom of speech for Twitter/elon etc. it works both ways

I didn't know isn't an excuse when it comes to the law. Sucks for her, but she broke the law.

She's a POS that hates her country, went to another country to play a sport for money, and brought drugs. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever.

there is a large gap between lacking sympathy due to her making a dumb decision and actively hoping she rots in prison for that dumb decision

especially for something so innocuous as possessing cannibals oil

She wasn't in the US though. I really don't know why anyone cares if she stays in jail or not.

I agree, which is why I asked the OP what was wrong with him?

So you think racists should rot in prison for having cannabis oil?


He specifically said she, referring to Brittney. Nobody gave you permission, nor did you ask permission, to change his thoughts and words to include millions of people.

Come back and apologize when you understand that he was speaking of Brittney Griner, not John Q Public.

his post implicitly implies that her being held further was "good" simply because she was a "racist"

which was I asked him to clarify his position with a question

in no way, did I change his thoughts or words by asking him to clarify his own words

read better

thanks

It's a shame Russia is pre-occupied by a proxy war with Griner's home country (that she hates).

Objection counselor. He had already been clear, that he was good with Brittney's imprisonment. That is what he said, and meant. You tried to change it to millions of people.

Stop it.

don’t wish her any ill, but what she did was extremely stupid and arrogant.

Pretty much this, I definitely hope she gets released unharmed soon but that was such a dumb thing to do. Although it sounds like there was just residue in there and she forgot. Also frick Russia.

Although I can’t help that think of her politics were different the tune of this board would be way different
