It was not poor judgement, she did not pack it by mistake. If we bring her home, she should be made to serve her sentence here in the US.
|
She deserved to pay a price for bringing drugs into Russia and lying to the court, but 9 years is crazy. It's not as if she was bringing a bunch to sell, it was obviously for personal use. Why should they care what she does to her own body? If it lead to a real crime, that I could understand, but 9 years in jail for a personal vape is insane IMO.

Many countries have hard and fast rules concerning drugs which are far severe then the US and if you get caught you will pay the price. I know a guy who got jammed up in Scotland for having pot and he too got several years in prison. She was told not to bring any drugs to Russia and she did and got caught and now she is a pawn that they can use to get what they want. She didn’t like standing for our national anthem but now she will have no choice but to respect Russia’s anthem

What’s the international law on trafficking? No biggie she took a knee whenever she could!! She only wanted to be American when it benefited her!

There was never any argument over whether or not Griner broke the law. Her only "defense" was IGNORANCE of the law. And ignorance of the law, in Russia as here in America, is never an excuse to break it. I doubt she'll serve the entire sentence. She'll get out, probably in a couple of years. |
While I am not her fan, 9 years is over kill. It’s a vape pen for goodness sake.
No she didn’t get 9 years because she gay, nor because she black. She got 9 years because Russia is using her to show US they don’t care what US thinks. What really gets me is her wife wants us to feel bad because she she to go to other countries to play to make up for not making enough money playing in the US because she only make $225,000 a year in US so it not her fault she she to go overseas to supplement their income. Again, I get do the crime do the time but is 9 yrs doing the time or is it “Take that US” |

Cannabis in all forms is still illegal under federal law only state laws has medical marijuana and recreational there is no federal marijuana allowed in the United States

If you commit a crime in a foreign country you get what you deserve. How about that kid that got caught stealing in China or some other country and they caned him. The US tried to get him home before this happened but from what I remember, they ended up caning him.
Actually we should be much more aggressive in how we handle people that do crime, we should throw the book at them as the law states so we will start limiting the amount of crime we have these days. What happened yesterday in our state is a start |
Supposedly hates America - so a good lesson is being learned - wonder if she will change her mind about the USA now.
Having said that the trial is political and nonsense - one or two years in a Russian jail would be a good wake up call. |

Jailed in Russia. Wonder what see feels like now to hear the good old US National Anthem played and wants to come begging for help. Now she now knows how great she has it living in the USA. For me let her spend the next 9 years thinking about it and come back and tell the others what see went through. Also point out when back how good they have it in the USA where what she did would of maybe been a $50 fine not 9 years
|
Stupid is, as stupid does. No sympathy here......
She can now be a role model for what not to do. If weed, THC, etc. was still illegal here, maybe she wouldn't still be there. |

Clearly didn’t watch midnight express movie

She disrespected the American flag, and did not want our national anthem played at her basketball games. Now, she is crying in her borscht begging the country she hates to bring her back. How hypocritical and disingenuous is that? Perhaps she should have spent some of her down time watching episodes of Locked Up Abroad.

Not going to happen and do hope we do not exchange her. |

9 years is excessive but it’s hard to feel sorry for her. You don’t bring any form of a drug to a country like Russia. |
Your right. Do the crime, do your time. None of this I didn’t know stuff.

She knowingly broke Russian law, and now the US is pressured to release a terrorist who is responsible for many deaths in an attempt to get her free. She was not working on behalf of the USA (unless we just do not know about it). |

You should probably start a new thread for Whelan. This one is about that female (Though I have not asked for her pronouns)basketball player. |
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time

Well I guess she realizes America wasn't so bad after all....

Speaking as a mother who raised 4 children. All I can say is if you have the perfect kid congratulations. If you said you do, you are lying.
What one of us would think a trade for our child would not be good? No matter what evil. She was wrong, but 9 years? Really? Quote:

Russian Justice
I love how she complained to the court that she wasn’t read her “rights “ 😂😂 Sweetie, you’re in Russia! You have no rights!
I bet the American National Anthem would sound good now! 😎 |
We've had to remove several political remarks. Please stay on topic without making it political.

My opinion, if she did kneel to the ground to the US Flag, she does not deserve any help from the US. Just my opinion.

Seems to me if she wasn't smart enough to know to NOT take drugs to another country, especially one like Russia, then she should pay the consequences. She "dised" her own country anyway so they shouldn't help her out now that's she's crying because she's in trouble. WE (the U.S.) should also NOT trade her for this dangerous terrorist that Russia wants back. That's like trading a million dollars for a penny - not a smart thing to do!

Another entitled elite. America hater, hope she enjoys her stay.
