Exactly. It's funny when some rich entitled white boy does it. I don't think what happened to Griner is funny but lets be real. This is a person who has been accused of domestic violence multiple times. Beat up the mother of her child. I'm supposed to feel bad that this piece of shyt knowingly violated another country's laws so she could smoke?
Not at all. I just think people are framing the sentencing with being excessive due to race and how in our own country our gov. Has handed down harsher punishments on black defendants. The problem is, she is not a citizen of Russia so it doesn't fly. You don't get afford the right or consideration for leniency. You won't see me goto Singapore and start dabbling with weed or coke. I'm a visitor , respect the rules or get out. This is that American privilege people talk about, think you can just goto a country and do whatever you want and think US embassy is gonna help.
I got a boy who was in the navy and "got caught selling weed" in the fukking middle east. You know what they did, the weight the weed with the glass jar and inflated the weight. They tried to sentence him to like 40 years or some shyt. He had to do some time but us embassy stepped in and he got released. But this is Russia.
Dozens of military contractors, most of them Black, have been jailed in the emirate — some on trumped-up drug charges. Why has the American government failed to help them?

This is my boy, I won't go into the exact details of the weed charges and what I know exactly but if you overseas do not fukk with or even be around shyt that can expose you. Don't even associate with people who move like that in those countries.
I know my boy won't even smoke a spliff in those type of countries ever again.
