You are absolutely correct. In my lifelong goal of trying to constantly educate myself and increase my knowledge, I'm often staggered by the true/actual/complete history of ours (and most other countries) - that I never learned from 'formal education.'
This is totally off topic and a hijacking of the thread. It has nothing to do with Griner being locked up for her crime in Russia.

She committed the crime; she should do the time.
