Choose the option:
A) Yes. The marijuanas is the devil's lettuce.
B) Yes, even though I support the devil's lettuce being legal, she knew the law. To the clink she shall go!
C) No big deal. Let her puff that good stuff.
C: Not at all considering that most people now in the U.S. don't even get arrested just for a little of weed.
shareThat's Russian law for you.
shareHey in Russia they dont play around. Watch what they did to this prodigy chess player...

Just imagine what they'd do to him if they found out he is gay.
sharePlease read the comments under the video I linked to you...some of them are just too funny xD
"Kid: Learns how to swim.
Russians: Release THE KRAKEN"!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's the hammer...hahahaha...the music with it! ☺☺☺
"As bent as the soviet sickle, and as hard as the hammer that runs across it".
shareNice saying! ☺...may use it on another occasion...ahem.
Followed your advice and did read the YT-comments.
Funny and informative!
Of course didn't read all of the more than 30,000 but this...:
SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER
For any of you who haven't seen the incredible and hilarious game, yet may still be interested. Misha doesn't cry when he meets Karpov. He says good afternoon and greets him, and only cries when he loses the match after 10 minutes. The funniest part of the entire spectacle is, when the host asked if you are holding back and Karpov replied "I never hold back" and the host responded with "I was talking to Misha".
Means, little Misha was tough and has nerves of steel.
And even Russians do NOT traumatize their youngest and best talents. 😉
The quote is from the movie by guy ritchie called Snatch, its what jason statham said to describe this dangerous russian criminal.
I read that comment too and its still funny. Also the music and the health bar under Anatoly Karpov are from the game Dark Souls : )

Its complicated. She's being held for political reasons at this point. Yes, its illegal there, but the amount in her possession doesn't warrant this kind punishment.
shareI'm surprised Russia didn't sentence her to death.
share
According to what I've read, the amount she brought into the country is commensurate with the sentence she received.
Now, I also believe that under other circumstances, as a "celebrity", they would have tossed her and her weed out of the country, but she's also clearly being used for political gain at this point.
Yeah, it was a really bad time for an American to be caught with weed in Russia.
A few years ago, another American was caught carrying 19 grams and only spent 2 months in prison. Griner on the other hand was given a 10 year sentence for a couple vape carts.
Why do you continue to spout falsehoods? The amount was residual and the punishment was outlandishly above the norm even for Russia.
shareCite sources please.
shareDo your own homework.
shareDismissed as falsehood.

Asking for sources is being dishonest now? BTW that's not a source FYI.
shareStop. You're embarrassing yourself. You may not trust it but that doesn't mean it's not a source. Since when is journalism not considered a source? 🙄
shareCool then here's a source that completely contradicts your source
https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2022/08/05/how-russian-drug-laws-citizens-compare-brittney-griner-sentence/
This sentence appears to be in accordance with an established Russian penal code outlining criminal punishments for people found guilty of violating the nation’s cannabis circulation laws. The code states that a person convicted of such a crime “may be sentenced to eight to twenty years of imprisonment, or even to a life sentence if the crime is committed on an especially large scale (for cannabis this means more than 10kg),” the international legal advisory service CMS observed in a recent article.
Did you even read what you posted?
shareYes I certainly did and it seems you also did but failed to understand the words in it.
may be sentenced to eight to twenty years of imprisonment for violating the circulation laws or even to a life sentence if the crime is committed on an especially large scale (for cannabis this means more than 10kg)
Let me guess, you skimmed it and saw the 10kg and thought
Ha gotcha
She had less than a gram, genius.
shareWow that means the Russian law changes, oh wait a minute no it doesn't you spastic.
As predicted, a moron who lacks reading comprehension.
I'm reminded of that quote attributed to Twain.
I never said the sentence was outside of the sentencing guidelines or law. I SAID IT WAS OUTSIDE THE NORM.
Comprehend that?
Define outside the norm. Everyone in this entire thread agreed the sentence was harsh, wtf have you even been posting for? Looks like Griner is coming home now anyway so you can dry your eyes finally.
shareI would say you're playing dumb but I suspect you aren't playing.
shareAnd I would say the norm is exactly what lay within the law and sentencing guidelines and outside the norm is anything that lays beyond that. I would say that instead of whatever ridiculous vague definitions you're trying to hide your flawed argument behind. I would also say you're an insufferable faggot who just got intellectually dismantled and blocked.
shareI don't live in Russia and am not privy to anything beyond what's available on the web (maybe you are?), but I've read nothing that suggests that Griner was sentenced outside the typical Russian guidelines.
This is typical of what web searching brings:
The sentencing of WNBA star Brittney Griner to nine years behind bars and a fine of 1 million rubles – between US$10,000 and $20,000 depending on the exchange rate – should come as no surprise to those familiar with Russian law.https://theconversation.com/brittney-griners-sentence-is-in-line-with-russias-strict-drug-penalties-but-how-long-she-serves-will-be-decided-outside-the-courtroom-188271
The country has long enforced strict drug laws and has a well-deserved reputation for zero-tolerance jurisdiction.
Indeed, the crime Griner was prosecuted of – smuggling narcotics in “significant amount” in violation of Article 229¹(2)(c) of the Russian criminal code – carries a minimum sentence of five to 10 years “deprivation of freedom” along with the fine, and the upper end of the spectrum seems to be common. The prosecutor in Griner’s case asked for 9 ½ years and, presumably, the maximum fine. He got most of what he wanted.
So empty vape cartridges that contained residue constitutes a significant amount? FOH
You just say shit to say shit.
So empty vape cartridges that contained residue constitutes a significant amount?
No. No. No.

Just keep making shit up.
It's hilarious that you think posting some article from Reason is some kinda gotcha.
shareJust keep making shit up
If you've got something that says otherwise, then by all means correct me
It doesn't matter what the amount is, she was charged with smuggling which is a 10 year penalty. If she wasnt so cheap and just paid a Russian drug dealer for her weed instead if smuggling it in herself she wouldnt be in this mess. She did the crime and now has to do the time. Being gay, black, and a famous libturded speaking piece might make you above the law here in McMurica but not in Russia!
share
That is true. Everything I've read says the amount she had in her possession was typically a fine and a couple of weeks in a Russian gulag - then probably deportation. The 9 years is about the importation of drugs, which they've been very consistent about when it comes to time in the pokey.
Why didn't Audrey Lorber get a 10 year sentence? She was arrested at a Russian airport a few years ago with 19 grams of weed and released after 2 months.
You would need to ask the Russian authorities that question. I am sure no one on MovieChat can answer that question.
Audrey Lorber had some gargantuan titties tho, if Brittney had the same caliber chest she would have been out by now
share"It doesn't matter what the amount is, she was charged with smuggling which is a 10 year penalty."
My whole point is Griner was used as a pawn because Russia is pissed off with our support towards Ukraine. She wasn't sentenced to ten years for a couple half used vape cartridges. If she was arrested for this a few years ago, she would have gotten a slap on the wrist, like Audrey Lorber did.
And for the record, I'm glad she's home, but I doubt agree with trading an arms dealer for her. It was a bullshit deal.
What is the political advantage of holding her?
shareSee today's news. We are now trading partners with Russia!
shareSo the US traded an arms dealer for Griner, what is the advantage of that?
shareTo the country: zero net gain, in fact quite a loss to put an Anti-American terrorist back on the street.
To Biden: Seals the LGBTQ+ACDEF vote, not that he didn't already have them in his back pocket (AKA Depends Underwear.)
Thanks for the take. I legit didn't know. I think democrats probably already had the LGBT vote regardless of whatever happened with this since republicans are not the LGBT party.
shareYeah the country is a mess because every "issue" has to be either Pro or Anti Republican. We can't just have common sense. The democrats are FOR every issue below, so by definition, Republicans have to be against it, or at least that's the perception by the LSM (Lame Stream Media).
Gun Control
Minorities
LGBTQ
More COVID mandates
Abortion
Environment
Anti-Corporate
Anti-Capitalism
Higher Taxes
Welfare
Two examples where "common sense" would be to just find middle ground, are Abortion and Gun Control. I wish both sides could simply agree that Late Term abortions are BAD, and so are AK 47s.
D) (S)he's an America hating cunt that broke Russian law and deserves to serve her/his full sentence seeing as (s)he thinks America, the country that gave her/him all the opportunities to become what (s)he is, is oppressive to her/him. (S)he needs to experience what REAL OPPRESSION is. (S)he deserves every bit of it. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
sharewhat a childish comment
shareWhere's the lie? You can cry that it's childish but I don't see you disproving any of it.
shareI got a stalker already. this is adorable. I found the mentally ill person on movie chat already
shareA reply? Are you like stalking me? Grow tf up.
shareIt's an open forum genius..
sharewho follows me to a different thread trying to continue the conversation from that one here? that's stalking.
shareIn this thread https://moviechat.org/nm3305952/Volodymyr-Zelenskyy/628959f76180c510d1a838b9/He-got-dollar40-Billion-What-did-you-get?reply=638f646d1f2c474b98a5236b you posted this to AmeriGirl26. In a thread about Zelenskyy receiving billion of dollars -
you also claimed French police are completely unarmed and that's why the Charlie Hebdo attack resulted in so many deaths.
so you are a proven liar and should not be taken seriously.

police and gendarme with fully auto weapons at French monuments. but nah regular French police def don't at least carry the Sig Sauer SP 2022 9mm
you stalked through pages and pages of my comments to find that.
are you off your medication today??
Are you mentally retarded? That was the post I first replied to you on, I didn't exactly need to search for it. You're a fucking hypocrite idiot zoomer.
https://media.tenor.com/842OL8w8qOoAAAAC/zoomer-tide-pods.gif
That question is irrelevant.
The world is full of unjust laws, and unjustly applied laws, and only a complete fucking idiot would break the laws of an unfriendly nation during a time of political tension. And if anyone here is willing to stake their freedom on the principle that it's okay to break unjust laws, I dare you to go to a Muslim theocracy and blaspheme against the prophet!
Perhaps yes because that's the law over there, but a decade sounds EXCESSIVE.
I would have thought months at most.
I agree.
shareRussia doesnt mess around with foreigners corrupting their country with illegal drugs. Its their laws and they have every right of making an example out of her. Her sentence will probably make many other stoners think twice about international drug smuggling and save more important people potentially the same outcome. Good riddance!
