There is no doubt about it — the three UCLA players screwed up big time. And now the players may be facing additional charges.

UCLA Bruins freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill were arrested earlier this week on shoplifting charges in China, where their team spent the week prior to Saturday’s opener against Georgia Tech. But things have gotten worse.

Too bad the games wasn’t being held in Saudi Arabia - they probably would lose a hand or two...

My bet is that the PRC will be happy to send them home if someone/something makes it worth the PRC’s while.

So the 2 questions are: Is the PRC gping to try its hand at a little extortion? And, if so, is the intended target going to cough up?

They committed crimes...they shoplifted...they stole...

And since they were so bloody picky about where they did it, the retail price of the stolen goods probably runs in the four figures. Felonies in most states in the US, I would think. Though maybe not CA anymore...

UCLA will likely just suspend them for a couple of pre-season games. He won’t be kicked off the team.

These NFL players need to take knees until these three brothers are released by the Chinese.

The very same thought crossed my mind when I read the article. Oh, the injustice!

They aren’t hugely embarrassed. They were laughing and tweeting out that being confined to the hotel was no big deal.

*****************************************

Wait until their team goes home. We will see if they still keep them in a hotel.

UCLA may have accidentally arranged for an education for these three “students”.

A crime is a crime whether dignitaries from the criminals’ country are visiting or not. I think it’s great China didn’t slap their hands because Trump was there. They deserve whatever punishment is given for theft.

t is a simple case of petty theft at three locations all caught on surveillance video.”””

Don’t think so-—

They stole glasses with price tags between $450 & $800 EACH.

The MORAL of the story>>

Don’t try your five finger discount with the Chinamen. Not in their own country. They are not politically correct. Do that s**t with whitey in the US. He will tolerate your bs shenanigans. Lastly you are idiots. Next time use your heads.

This will be the last time (at least for a while) one of our dumbass aff-a-leets try this crap in China.

No mention of this over at Breitbart at least from what I can tell. I thought they would be all over this story.

Good article on Chinese judicial system and what if means in this case.

Fascinating, you have NFL kneelers and the black caucus calling for impeachment contrasted with a president in country who COULD step in.

Let them rot or get them out? My advice, let them rot. Even if you pull strings to get them out, it will not change the steaming racist narrative from the left.

What to do? What to do?

<>Entitlement and/or their publik skrewling, wihich clearly did not delve into anything on communism.

At least the Chinese don't have to re-educate them. Education will do just fine.
