Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug charges in a Russian court on Thursday. Shortly after being found guilty, she was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison. The prosecution was reportedly seeking nine and a half years.
Griner is being used as a political pawn. Now, with the sentencing, it forces the hand of President Joe Biden to do something sooner rather than later and get the American citizen out of Russian prison.
The American justice system is far from perfect, but this outrageous sentencing should put things into perspective for everyone, including LeBron James, about how unjust other justice systems around the world operate.
America is attempting to trade the Merchant of Death Viktor Bout for the American basketball star, but it’s unclear if that’s going to happen or not.
Immediately after the sentencing, Biden released a statement saying “Russia is wrongfully detaining” Griner.

Tough shit. Perhaps you should be more mindful of your behavior and choices while in another country. Stop acting like an idiot with no common sense.
She is lucky to be in Russia instead of one of the Asian nations that execute people for the same crime.
Have they done a short arm inspection yet? I was wondering which gender of prison they are gonna send her to?
You mean Tough Shitski.
LOL! The Twitterverse doesn't realize there's a whole 'nother world out there beyond their perception of reality, and it doesn't give a damn about them.
The poor fella....
Midnight Express redux
Movie supposedly about Bout.

Good thing for her she didnt try to enter Singapore. They execute dealers.
Ah man, that is so sad.
He eventually escaped. Only to be busted later in life on another drug charge.
Now that’s how you fight a War on Drugs.
At least not in Turkey the second time.
Will that be on pay per view?
The twitter verse better wake the eff up. When you’re in charge, you can do anything you want. In this case I believe the Russians are in charge and this dipsh!t knew it going in. It bohica time now.
After some difficult military indoctrination, our trainee group was ordered to about face as the flag of the USA was raised and the National Anthem was played. An emotional experience for all. I never tire of seeing Old Glory at full staff and hearing the strains of the Star Spangled Banner. When/if Griner is released, I wonder if the racist, America-hating lesbian will think differently of the country that has given her so much.
Breaking laws in Russia....
Amazing how arrogant some people are.
In the mid-1970s I knew a girl at work whose fellow Russian language majors at Michigan State University had exchange trips between their Russian counterparts and the Americans. The year after hers an American young man thought it was hilariously funny while in Russia to paint upturned black moustaches on several banner pictures of Lenin on the buildings and poles along the streets.
The Soviets did not have any sense of humor about it, put him in jail and set up a trial which could have imprisoned him. It took months of US State Department and university negotiations to finally get him freed to return without serving further time.
I think we can count on Biden to do the wrong thing - same as Obama.
Heck. He doesnt detain illegals smuggling fentanyl.
She hates America. Maybe she’ll find happiness in a Russian prison. I wish her luck!
There are some indications in the image that Griner has been doing testosterone and steroid drugs. If she was really born a female, she’s developed some very masculine traits, such as a prominent Adam’s apple and a masculine neck. But the eyebrows, eyes and mouth look female.
