Because Turks and Caicos is just like that Arctic Circle prison camp where Navalny died while taking an ill-advised stroll.

You think they're putting prisoners in the tourist section of T&C? Where they get mai-tais and conch fritters? 1
The Frankish Reich Posted April 25 Posted April 25 11 minutes ago, Doc said: You think they're putting prisoners in the tourist section of T&C? Where they get mai-tais and conch fritters? Well it's not the same as being held by Russia as a bargaining chip, which we all know was the case with Griner even though she did apparently violate Russian law. And yes, the State Department is no doubt involved, and they will advocate for the detained American. That's one of the things they do, even for the idiot Americans who get arrested engaging in some high-spirited drunken revelry in someone else's country. Turks and Caicos will want to assert its right to control what comes into their country, but ultimately they have an interest in American tourism and this will likely be resolved quickly. Without the need for a T&C spy to be exchanged for him ...

Do you know what kind of sentence the average person gets for bringing drugs into Russia? It's a lot longer than what Griner served. As for T&C, I doubt this is their first rodeo with an American who unwittingly broke their law. So the tourism aspect doesn't factor into it.

If you don't get it I can explain it to you. And for the record, he shouldn't have brought ammo on a @#$%ing international flight. 12 years? No. Caning? Maybe.

That's how they used her to extract something they wanted. Russia could have held her for the entire time of her sentence. The Biden Admin traded a Russian arms dealer for her because they were pressured into it. Let's see what they trade for this guy. Edited April 25 by Doc

Should I have any sympathy for her?

B-Man Posted May 8 Posted May 8 WaPo Gushes for Brittany Griner As She Plays Victim And Plays Her "Donald Trump" Card By Jim Thompson The Washington Post is a champion of the oppressed and marginalized – which is why it published a 5,000-word excerpt of a ghost-written book by a celebrated black lesbian athlete millionaire. Brittany Griner holds three intersection titles that make her virtually invulnerable to criticism by legacy media. She is one of America’s least oppressed and most privileged citizens, but that doesn't pay, so she plays her "I'm a victim" card. Griner resides in the rarefied air of celebrity and wealth and favored race, that cancels out her stupidity and hubris. In reality, she is an admitted convicted felon who was swapped for a Russian "Merchant of Death" in the worst prisoner exchanges in decades, maybe ever. Nonetheless, Griner manages to cast herself as the victim. {snip} Maybe Griner gets around to admitting that she tried to smuggle drugs into Russia and got caught. Maybe she admits that it was a terrible, very bad deal for America to swap her for the “Merchant of Death” arms dealer. Maybe. Maybe pigs will fly. https://redstate.com/jimthompson/2024/05/08/wapo-gushes-for-brittany-griner-as-she-plays-victims-and-plays-her-donald-trump-card-n2173928
njbuff Posted May 8 Posted May 8 I heard a clip of "her" doing an interview with the biggest white hating racist named Joyless Reid. My God, if Griner isn't a man then no one knows what a man is. Griner's voice is deeper than the most manly of man, Holy chit.
