When I did my eurail trip many years ago now I heard a story from someone who had done the Trans Siberian and he said at one stop the police came aboard and dragged off some traveler who had the idea to smuggle in drugs from India. We both agreed we probably wouldn’t be hearing about him for a long long time.

...the Phoenix Mercury standout described making a grueling 13-hour flight to Moscow from Arizona while recovering from COVID-19. Griner said she still does not know how the cannabis oil for which she had a doctor's recommendation ended up in her bag but explained she had packed in haste while under great stress.

She has more excuses than Jake Blues.

But of course!.
The good ole “I have no idea how the illegal drugs ended up in my bag” nonsense,
Fortunately, this is Russia not San Francisco. “She” is going to pay for her crime. A long hard stint in a very cold jail in Siberia will clarify "her" thinking.

I keep waiting for some lefty media outlet to say the magic words:

“Russia is racist.”

I hope she doesn’t come back - give here 20 years in a siberian work camp and then see if she still hates America.

Maybe she can start a basketball team in Novosibirsk.

Sometimes leaving your privileged & sheltered home makes folks wake up.

The rest like Brittney will double down on their idiocy as if they really are as special as they’ve been told (and lied to).

The Romans would’ve crucified her by now.

She's not supposed to travel if she's sick with Covid.

This is a strange situation. She’s one of these black lives matter, America is racist etc people. And she wants the white American president to save her black butt from a Russian prison.

This hopefully is yet another lesson to people, that if you break the laws of another country, you can’t just call the American embassy and have them fix things for you. You can’t just call Joe Biden and have him pull strings for you.

The “Cops” show had some hilarious examples of this.

People couldn’t figure out how drugs got into their socks, in their pants pockets, in their hands, and my favorite...

under their tongue!

America hating malignant narcissist can’t leave her weed at home for a brief trip to a foreign land? Let her rot. And I don’t want to hear any of that “medicinal” crap either. She assumed she was above the law. I personally have nothing against weed. Just against stupidity.

Let’s cook this down:

American basketball star
drug trial in Russia
she had vape canisters containing cannabis oil

Hey Brittney why aren’t you pulling out that ol’ race card in mother Russia?

You tell ‘em black lives matter, they are racist and owe you money.

Burn one of their police cars, smash a window or two.

Punch an old white guy in the head.

Go ahead. I dare you.

“a language interpreter provided during her questioning translated only a fraction of what was said and officials instructed her to sign documents without providing an explanation.”

Nothing about any “rights”. There are no rights, it’s Russia. That’s ESPN’s headline.

Lady, you are a visitor there. They don’t have to tell you your rights, because they have different laws... Any moron knows that, you America hating bitch.
