Brittney Griner sentenced to 9 years. She better pray for that prisoner swap.

I'm trying to learn if she's being jailed in a men or women's facility. I guarantee the Rooskies know what it is. :oops:
Uhhhhh.......


If that is really a man, this dude really sucks at hoops.

Sad that people are cheering the imprisonment of a US citizen for a minor violation. Not surprising though. Lots of hate in your hearts. I suggest you find Jesus.
Just because it’s a minor violation here doesn’t mean it is in russia. Other countries are allowed to have their own rules and if the traveler is too ignorant to glance at them then they have no room to complain when consequences come
 
You believe the Russians obviously

Do you believe they were justified in the Whelan arrest also?
How about in Reed's arrest?

Do you believe the Iranians in all of their "arrests" of Americans?

Believe N Korea & China too?

Americans are propaganda targets and are taken for political purposes

But its wonderful that we have people like you who support their capture

How about we send Kap to Russia in exchange for Griner? I'm sure we'd have to throw in a few 7th round draft choices in as well to seal the deal.

I’m not making this political but if you’re an American how do you not understand where you’re going? How about you don’t go hang out around countries known for that? Not like any of them are sending special teams around the world capturing Americans

I don't particularly want Americans to serve time in foreign prisons but you have to admit that there is some incredible irony involved in this situation.

She seemingly hated America. I bet she hates it less now. I bet she has a better understanding of the freedom she had here.

Also, it's apparently not a minor violation in Russia. If it were, I doubt she would have received 9 years. If she had asked me, I would have advised her not to smuggle drugs into Russia or any foreign country.
 
sadgator doesn’t give a rat’s ass about this…and he thinks Griner is kind of a knucklehead…but her “hatred” for America is a bit overblown…she kneeled for the Anthem, true(which sadgator despises), but she has previously gone on record about her respect for those who have served…of course you’ll never hear that acknowledgement from the Q crowd…

in any event…9 years for weed is ridiculous…and every single poster here knows and believes that in our hearts…

that being said…sadgator hopes she gets out somehow…but doesn’t care if she doesn’t…lesson: never go to Russia…a good rule to live by….

She broke the law in Russia. As I said, the 'chick' hates America, so every dem ITT is tripping over themselves to White Knight for her.

Do yall ever have a moment of clarity where you realize that your politics require you to ALWAYS cheer for the bad guys?

So you're suggesting as a guest in someone else's country you can just break their laws because you're an American?

And when you break their laws, we should trade a known arms dealer and terrorist to get you back?

She knew where she was, presumably, and she had to know how Russia feels about Americans and LGBT people.

Jesus would say render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Not your best work, friend.
 
This is one stupid administration.

  • Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison on Thursday
  • Joe Biden immediately promised to free her and said he would do 'anything'
  • The deal he has proposed is to swap her with Viktor Boult, a notorious arms dealer who was jailed in 2008
  • Biden failed to secure a deal with the Russia to swap the pair before the sentence was handed down
  • Now, amid a swell of public pressure, his 'position has weakened' in those negotiations, a source said
  • The source - who is close to the negotiations - said it's likely a deal will be reached in under a month
  • It's unclear if Paul Whelan is part of the deal - he has been jailed since 2018

I don't follow this sort of thing but she did/said more than kneeling for the anthem, didn't she?

Like I said, I simply don't follow this sort of garbage but I could have sworn she had some Michelle Obama type comments, or worse, about this country.

She wasn't "hanging out"... she's been working in Russia for years


Contrary to what you believe foreign governments have been targeting US nationals


https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...hostage-taking-americans-foreign-governments/
More countries are taking Americans hostage. The U.S. is losing its ability to stop it.

For decades, being an American abroad carried unspoken protections in countries that either respected or feared the United States. But a shift in who is abducting U.S. nationals reflects a weakened regard for both the United States and the international system it operates in. New tools — and commitments from the White House — are needed to protect innocent people targeted as they live, work and travel overseas.

Foreign governments now surpass terrorist and militant groups as the predominant hostage-takers of U.S. nationals around the globe. Nineteen publicly known U.S. nationals are being held by militants and other criminal groups, while at least 43 are being wrongfully detained abroad as state-sponsored hostage cases, according to Cynthia Loertscher, research director at the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, which works closely with the State Department on hostage issues. The rise in foreign governments wrongfully detaining Americans to extract concessions, policy changes or prisoner exchanges from the United States is dramatic:

What is the deal with that Whelan guy is he just an idiot that looked suspicious or was he getting info for our govt.

No she didn't.

But I'm sure you wish that she had to justify your lack of caring about an American locked up overseas wrongfully

Do you have some reason to believe that she didn't do what they are accusing her of?

Oh... I dunno...
Maybe the entire history of Communist Russia is a good place to start

Do you believe them in the Whelan case?
Do you believe Russia in any other legal case? Ever?

They charged her with "trafficking" because Russian "law" has actually decriminalized possession of less than 6 grams.

Since the Russian authorities actually claim she had less than 1 gram thy couldn't arrest her on possession charges and had to upgrade the charge to trafficking

https://cannigma.com/regulation/marijuana-laws-russia/
While Russia’s criminal code has technically decriminalized the possession of up to 6 grams of cannabis, tourists would probably be ill-advised to put too much trust in the letter of the law. Anyone detained by police with cannabis – including less than 6 grams – could face abuse, a demand for a bribe, and all types of other legal hassles until they are released. There’s also no assurance that the police won’t say that the amount is more than 6 grams if they are so inclined.


Good to know the "law enforcement" officer chooses to support a war criminal's word

Griner’s Vape Cartridge Exam Violated Russian Law, Defense Expert Testifies
Published Aug. 02, 2022 10:24AM ET

The examination of the substance inside Brittney Griner’s vape cartridges seized at a Moscow airport in February was not compliant with Russian law, a defense expert testified Tuesday. Forensic chemist Dmitry Gladyshev said the examination, which was used to charge the WNBA star with drug smuggling, “does not comply with the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure.” Griner’s lawyer, Maria Blagovolina, added that the results of the analysis didn’t include the amount of THC in the substance inside the cartridges.

Blagovolina also told CNN that experts had discovered “a few defects” in the machines used to analyze the substance. Griner has already pleaded guilty to drug charges and now faces up to 10 years imprisonment, though U.S. authorities maintain that the basketball player has been wrongfully detained. Rather than reporting on the testimony made at Tuesday’s hearing, several Russian media outlets bizarrely fixated on her apparently eating a sandwich in the courtroom. “American center Brittney Griner ate a sandwich while the defense was questioning a specialist who was examining hash oil cartridges,” Sports.ru reported, calling it “rare for the accused to be caught eating during trial.”

Examination of the substance in Brittney Griner's vape cartridges violated Russian law, defense expert says

By Anna Chernova and Elizabeth Wolfe, CNN
Updated 10:59 AM ET, Tue August 2, 2022

The examination of the substance contained in vape cartridges that WNBA star Brittney Griner's carried at a Moscow airport in February did not comply with Russian law, a defense expert testified Tuesday in her high-stakes drug-smuggling trial.

Among the violations is that results of the examination do not show the amount of THC in the substance, Griner's lawyer, Maria Blagovolina, said after the hearing.

"The examination does not comply with the law in terms of the completeness of the study and does not comply with the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure," forensic chemist Dmitry Gladyshev testified for the defense during the roughly two-hour session.

The defense also interrogated prosecution expert Alexander Korablyov, who examined Griner's cartridges taken from her luggage.


Griner's appearance in the Khimki city courthouse marked her seventh hearing as Russian prosecutors accuse her of trying to smuggle less than 1 gram of cannabis oil in her luggage. She has pleaded guilty to drug charges -- a decision her lawyers hope will result in a less severe sentence -- and faces up to 10 years in prison.

Let sadgator enlighten you…

She fell into the same misguided 2020 George Floyd…Taylor…no national anthem thing…and decided to “protest” by not being on the court for the anthem….

and as we all know, that is the wrong thing to do, so we don’t need to even argue that…but it was a specially intended “protest” based on her desire to effectuate civil rights change….

however, she also comes from a patriotic family and said the following…AT THE SAME TIME as announcing her protest…

“I don’t mean that in any disrespect to our country. My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years,” she said. “I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.”

People need to grow up and examine the totality of circumstances before they knee jerk react to these things…

Here's a question. What was Biden doing for Whelan or speaking for Whelan before the Griner arrest? I never heard a word. HIS family got no phone call from Biden. I never heard any prisoner swap talk before Griner. Whelan's been there a lot longer than Griner. So here's an answer. Whelan is just a plain ole WHITE guy. Griner checks all the boxes Biden likes. Black, gay and and an athlete.

Biden makes his decisions on appointments or causes based on skin color and/or sexual orientation, whether it's the Supreme Court, a Vice President or a press secretary. The press secretary is pathetically stupid who can only read from a binder, the Veep is a joke and the newest associate justice cannot even offer an answer as to what a woman is

So what is the answer to Biden saying nothing about Whelan but all in when Griner becomes an issue?
