In this case it is a famous black lesbian basketball star and she again showed no intent to bring this illegal medication into Russia. That is what I expect she said under oath in the Russian court a few days ago. And I expect intent is also necessary in Russian Criminal Law.

In my travels I have forgotten to bring a lot of stuff but I have never packed anything I didn't know was there. I do not believe her and neither do they.

The most obvious answer to that question isn't allowed since it would be political.

It is MUCH more about making America forget about the ATROCITIES and the unprovoked attack that Russia has engaged in during their attempted CONQUEST of their peaceful neighbor. Brittany Griner is a PAWN in a Russian sideshow designed to distract. The sad part is that it is successful because for some reason US people are blaming Brittany.

If their daughter or granddaughter were beginning to ROT in an inhumane Russian prison - now that would be a WHOLE different story. I can imagine and visualize the tears and outcries for HELP that would generate in America !!!!!!!

They are blaming Brittany because she BROKE the law. Why should she get a free pass because she did it in Russia?

Oh, that explains why these are the most dangerous cities in the USA.

"To determine which cities in the United States the most dangerous, 24/7 Wall Street looked at data from the FBI’s 2018 Uniform Crime Report, including each city’s murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Only cities with populations of 100,000 people or more were evaluated. The poverty rate and unemployment rate were also evaluated for each city, as these economic factors often correlate with crime rates. The 50 most dangerous cities in the United States were determined from this data.

Based on this information, the ten most dangerous cities in the United States are:

Detroit, MI
Memphis, TN
Birmingham, AL
Baltimore, MD
St. Louis, MO
Kansas City, MO
Cleveland, OH
Little Rock, AR
Milwaukee, WI
Stockton, CA"

She knowingly broke the law in a foreign country and deserves to pay the price. Not to mention she seems to hate the US.

True.

It will close on an inexcusably one-sided unhappy ending as we obtain her freedom by foolishly giving up the infamous Merchant of Death, Viktor Bout.

Just came across this thread and read it all.
What a bunch of dog whistles.
Race baiting posts.
Conspiracy believers posting a lot of drivel.
A select few showing their true colors.

Well, there are also many examples of rich caucasian people committing crimes. Bernie Madoff pulled his pyramid scheme off for years before he finally got caught. And we just got word that there is a white, Naval Captain that was taking bribes and now living right under our noses here in TV Land. And, the 1st modern US homegrown domestic TERRORIST was Timothy McVeigh, the white Oklahoma City bomber in the 90s.

For Brittany Griner, her non-whiteness should NOT be a factor that causes people to believe that she is an EVIL when compared to the real true EVIL deeds of WAR CRIMES perpetrated against the Ukraine. Isn't it funny how Brittany Griner played basketball in Russia for YEARS and entertained Russians and was a fan favorite - then suddenly she was searched while the US had become involved in the war on the side of the Ukraine? Funny? What a coincidence!
