Absolutely stupid decision. He better hope agents/manager/team owners can help work something out. He won’t get the death penalty but he is gonna be looking at some years if no one intervenes.

Edit:
Tangerang Hawks’ manager, Tikky Suwantikno, told reporters on Thursday that they regretted what had been done by Shaw and the club had immediately fired him as he has breached the contract.
The Indonesian Basketball League banned Shaw from playing for life, said its chair, Budisatrio Djiwandono.

Never mind, he better get a good lawyer :francis:

That’s the Indonesian embassy in DC, FBA you know what to do.
No. Weed was just decriminalized in Thailand (where he was smuggling it from).

However, he is living in INDONESIA, where weed is illegal and NOT decriminalized. In Indonesia, you can face severe penalties for possession or smuggling of weed.

Of course not.

But as a Black American who has traveled extensively, people are really naive thinking that the shyt that flies in the states won't get you hemmed up or worse in other countries. Especially these lesser developed joints.
I’ve traveled extensively as well.

Nobody’s perfect.

Way more get away with it than get caught.

But when you do get caught...especially in these lesser westernized countries.....as a nikka. :francis:

Yeah but we can’t show nothing but strength and solidarity in front these tethers and crackers.

Me too and it’s going to stay that way unless the poles switch.

And since he squealed to the cops that he intended to distribute to team mates, he's fukked them over as well :snoop:

The cops will assume he may have had previous more successful consignments..so if any teammates have been smoking, even if not from breh they better make a run for it now:ufdup:
