A lot of people are saying she deserved it. Everyone knows she was an idiot to 1) go to Russia 2) bring drugs there. But I can't imagine applauding a 9 year prison sentence for that, which is clearly driven by her negative comments about the USA.
I think you're conflating a couple of things.

a. **** her because she claims to hate America and have been oppressed in America. She found out what oppression is and that America is paradise for her. People think the irony is delicious.

b. No one thinks her sentence is reasonable. They just don't really care because she FAFO.

Not sure what you're having a hard time understanding. People with such a negative view of America have not spent much time in the rest of the world.

People who hate America are not objective in any way. Some of us are thankful for where we were born and want to preserve it. Others vote democrat.
Excellent points. And I'll add...

People ***** and moan about what America has become. Well, one of the reasons America has become what it is, is due to our increasingly lax attitudes about consequences & punishment. "It was only" in it's many variations has become the preamble to countless justifications for people doing what they want, not what laws allow.

So Russia isn't having anything to do with, "It was only". She did the crime, now she'll do the time. Is it harsh? Sure. But will she ever make the mistake again? Nope, not even if her life depended on it. Bet.

Griner is an idiot, but should not be in jail for a victimless crime.
I know you won't agree with this, but it's lenient, "no harm, no foul" attitudes like this that have contributed to the decay of American society.

The drug trade, regardless of the derivative, has absolutely laid waste to countless victims.



It's not the job of government to protect people from their own stupid mistakes. The government also has no business telling people what they can and cannot put in their own body.

Imagine getting imprisoned in Russia. Now imagine getting imprisoned in Russia right on the eve of WW3. I doubt we ever see her again.
She's a barganing chip and when the time comes Putin will use her to get what he wants and make Potatoe Head look like a hero.

No. Its a bunch of small men enjoying the hypocrisy of someone that doesn't matter.

Here's a clue so you don't have to get one-

Nobody is celebrating this. It's a travesty what has happened to this person. Her ENTIRE life she was made to feel special because she could play a game. Then she was made to feel like a victim for being gay and a female. And that victim mentality is what lead her to BELIEVE that the rules didnt necessarily apply to her.


You want to know why Britney Griner is going to jail and people seem to be celebrating (in your eyes of projection)?

It's because the progressive liberal mindset bestowed upon her by the left finally caught up with the REAL WORLD.

It would just be more evidence that Trump and Putin are azzhole buddies.

This is the ProgLeft we are talking about....the same ones who want to believe Charlie Crist in last night's debate when he tried to make Desantis the lockdown guy.

They'll say anything and believe whatever necessary.

Can she offer to play for the Russian Women's National basketball team? My guess is if she did that they would release her from the gulag and make her an officer in the Russian Army.

Griner is getting a healthy dose of perspective on what freedom really means. I'm empathetic and that sentence is extreme, but there are far worse injustices out there.

I could see it happening.

"The American candidate for governor of Texas, sports superstar Griner, with all the right pronouns/GLBTQ/racial mix/support/background. 'Make Texas venezuela via zoom calls from a Russian gulag with our governor.'"

Probably still a better person/candidate than Beto, in any case.

If someone gets pulled over or searched and "possesses" marijuana (or even cocaine or somesuch), there is no reason to throw that person in jail. They haven't harmed anyone.
This is only verifiable if the possessor grew/produced the drug themselves. If they were procured on the black market, it is almost guaranteed that someone was harmed along the supply chain between grower/producer and the end user.


So because someone may have been harmed by someone, we should just punish whoever we can catch, whether they did anything wrong or not?
Yes! Because they are CONTRIBUTING to people being harmed if they are purchasing that product!!!!!! They are participating in ILLEGAL acts whether you think they should be illegal or not. They are funding the jack wagons that are doing greater harm. Do you understand that very basic and simple concept?

In Yellerjacket's mind, I guess viewing child porn is a victimless crime, too.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? I think this certainly qualifies.

Check out 3 Strike Laws in our own country if you feel her punishment was harsh.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

I guess I should have expected a thread about a WNBA star being locked up in Russia to devolve into a thread where people just vent about covid vaccines.

Well, it has to do with coercion by the government, maybe.

We are afraid that they will mandate watching the games.

https://nypost.com/2022/10/25/russian-court-rejects-brittney-griners-appeal/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app&utm_source=reddit.com

Quote:
A Russian court on Tuesday rejected Brittney Griner's appeal after the jailed WNBA star begged for forgiveness for her "mistake" upholding her nine-year sentence on drug charges.

Griner and her lawyers had asked for acquittal or at least a more lenient sentence, which they said was disproportionate to the offense and at odds with Russian judicial practice.

The presiding judge said the verdict was upheld "without changes" except for the counting of time served in pre-trial detention as part of the sentence. Griner is now expected to be moved to a penal colony.

They should start having NFL games in Russia.

Also, cry me a river.

This administration will say that Bart is "wrongfully detained", yet completely ignore the people in the DC gulags that are being wrongfully detained.

I couldn't care less about someone in Russia. Our own government are hypocrites.

If Russia wanted to make a point, they would agree to release Griner only after Biden admin releases the J6ers. One of which was sentenced to 4 years for climbing a fence.

You will have no idea why, but that is a very poorly constructed/worded sentence.

But to answer the question: Few are the celebrants but fewer still, likely, are the tears. There is a certain sense of everyman satisfaction in arrogance being called to order. No matter where it occurs.

I do as well, but can certainly understand schadenfreude when that person, a gay hermaphrodite multi-millionaire, calls her home country and everyone in it evil and racist despite the fact that it's the only country in the history of the world where someone like her can become not only insanely wealthy but also a celebrity.

You really don't understand the derision? Seriously?
