    Here come some fucking insane takes by people who don’t leave their houses

    Shit must be terrifying.. I wonder if the inmates know anything about what’s happening with the war or the current state of the country.

  3. Oh51Melly

    I’m not saying we should exhaust all resources to free her but i do hope something happens soon

    It’s really terrible. No one should be in jail for marijuana. Unfortunately there is a war going on, and not a realistic avenue to get Brittney Griner out without supporting Russia’s war effort that’s actually killing civilians.

  5. Brittney Griner if anyone on this sub was locked up in russia: 🛌

    Trolls are out be careful. Let’s try:

    “She should have known better” >> this wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t geopolitical

    “Do the time do the crime” >> unjust laws exist

    “Other Americans are in the same/similar situations” >> that doesn’t make it better!

    And if you’re getting paid to astroturf >> no chance for advancement and you’re replaceable by cheap AI. 1.5/10 career at best. Do better for yourself!

    It’s sad but the longer it takes the less likely it is to happen. It’s the power of the 24 hour news cycle, she slowly gets pushed into the back of everyone’s mind

    I hope she’ll be freed. She should be freed. Her and many other people who were arrested for the same crime in Russia. And I really doubt she’ll be freed, unfortunately.

    Legend has it that if you post “Brittney Griner” anywhere on the internet, every Putin-loving conservative within a 50 mi. radius is automatically summoned.

    I really don’t care. She fucked up though it’s dumb af it’s for a cart, she belongs to Mother Russia now.

    Few people have facilitated more death as a private citizen than the man they want in return.

    As bad as I feel for Griner, I think we need to wait until Putin grows even more desperate for a win.

  12. TheWonderfulLife

    Yea.. I mean… you broke a law in an unfriendly foreign country. Kind of how that works.

  13. GuayabaTree

    Plenty of accounts showing they are some real dirtbags in this thread not feeling any sympathy for this woman being locked up. Y’all are fucking shitty people

  14. powerplay_22

    as a pothead, i feel for her. hope she comes home to the dankest kush life has to offer

  15. Soji_Juice

    I thought that it was confirmed that US is trading the one guy for her? Guess that fell through.

  16. _meestir_

    Can’t wait for the Locked Up Abroad episode

  17. AZMadmax

    So sad. Fuck Russia. Use some common sense. Did she break the law? Yes. It’s 10 years reasonable? Absolutely not. Screw the “respect their laws” bullshit this is terrible

  18. AutographedSnorkel

    Black person being sentenced more harshly than a white person for a similar crime. Looks like Russsia and America aren’t that different after all

    Seems like a shame on the lawyer for not making it abundantly clear they have no power in this situation. She should have grasped this the first week of detainment.
