If Trump were President she’d be home now.
You may not like her, I’m no fan, but she doesn’t deserve to rot in a russian jail for 10 years for what she did.
Have some humanity.
Like I said, Trump would have made sure she was back by now.
He should have known better after having visited many countries in his lifetime and knowing that different countries have different laws regarding the use of drugs. Went to college did ya? Did you major in gender studies or something of use?
Eh I disagree with you.
No one should be in jail for 10 years for doing what she did.
Again, have some humanity or you sound like the evil people you claim to be against.
When you are a guest in another country, you obey their rules. When you leave the USA, you leave our laws and our way of life behind.
Russia doesn't care whether you're a common person or a superstar. And you, as a guest, don't get to decide whether Russia's laws are fair or not. They are what they are and you travel at your own risk.
Everyone with half of a brain knows that some countries have draconian drug laws. You find out what they are before you enter their country, not after.
Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
Nah you’re being too harsh
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the length of the sentence either, but he went to another country and disrespected their laws, not ours. I used to watch "Locked Up Abroad" frequently, and the people who were locked up were violators of another country's drug laws, and those penalties are way worse that penalties in the US. The moral of the story is, "Don't violate the laws of a country you are visiting."
