If it was an ordinary us citizen that broke Russian law it wouldn't be a big deal. 🤔
You all keep up the great work..thanks.
Why Americans think they can get away with anything in other countries- smuggling drugs is a crime , so if you got caught- go to jail for it … why is all this buzz about it? Because she is an American??? The other countries don’t care who are you.., admit that and go to jail !!!
She broke Russian law she should be treated just like anybody else…
People who knowingly break the law and got caught seldom say they did so intentionally. These are the people who think they could get lucky. Don’t waste time on such social misfits regardless of if they are stats or any sort. Jail is the right place for them
when the suspect is clearly identified the motive is usually not clearly identified
the most important question is being left unanswered
I am literally blood thirsty for the Civil War will ARE going to be engaging in, soon enough.
She didn't smuggle the vape on accident but man!
They only found a small piece of rich from a joint in my car an I'm being charged alot of money an did time… an it wasnt even mine too… but I was charged and did time ..
Just because she is a star and celebrity doesn't mean she needs help and she gets help…
She clearly see no out and the country is not helping her. This such a sad story
A booster every 3 months…when are we going to see that the vaccine is not working and probably a fraud
The father needs to do prison time.
You don't take something by accident, you pack your bags with what you want. She took something illegal to their country.
In America, let’s start detaining Russians and throw stupid crime charges on them.
NYC is a dangerous city and Democrats are holding America hostage….
and the reason why I know she was set up was because I was born in Russia and my family still lives in Russia we know how the system works it's like the mafia on steroids times 10 the Russians learn how to do business from watching The godfather movie and Al Capone movies believe it or not
she was set up she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time she was set up people Russia's dirty rotten just like in Mexico they will set you up and you know what I don't even like basketball
She said she hated America? MSM selling propaganda for Democrats
MSM approval rating is at 20%.fake news at its best selling propaganda for Democrats everyone in America knows this
In the 20th century 52 million innocent people were disarmed by their government and then rounded up and killed for disagreeing with them.learn some history before it repeats itself………
That dude looks like the guy from the movie Saw!
Democrats desperately trying to twist the narrative and America laughs at them
Gotta love a guy who can resign and not even admit that maybe it's his fault lol
Bring the drug addict home, we need more drug addicts in the US.
She accidentally packed the drugs? Yeah right, and monkeys might fly out of my butt…
She sounds pretty dang guilty to me. Celebrity or civilian, the law is the law…
Thems the breaks. Boris has summarized it brilliantly.
It is what it is.
Whatever.
Thems the breaks.
The shooter was an active antifa activist, what a shocker. Nothing to see.. move along people.. he is one of our own.. move along.. No politics mentioned and his anti trump syndrome .
Brittney Griner committed a nonviolent victimless crime she needs to be let go
