For all I care, she can pay the price for her arrogance. Other Country, their laws. Follow their laws or pay the price.

The problem is - we will likely 'exchange' her for a Russian prisoner, and give them someone back who is a real danger so they can give us Griner back...
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

We went to Canada for years fishing. last trip was 2009 when on the way home I had my fuzz buster on the dash of My jeep. never gave it a thought until the OPP pulled Me over. I honestly didn't think they were illegal in Canada but was made to feel like a criminal . they took the unit and I had to pay a hefty fine. I got lucky as I thought they were going to impound My jeep and trailer full of camping gear. the officer put on quite a show and no doubt was very proud of himself. know the laws before you travel.
Years ago they did a movie “Midnight Express”. Guy tries to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. Gets caught and sent to prison. The movie makes him out to bet the victim. He murders a guard to escape. The US should have sent him back.

They are making Griner out to be a victim/hero. He/she/it was warned from what I heard.

Folks do squeal when they don't think the laws apply to them......and then they do.
I think the government would leave me in jail in another country, I don't see why she should be treated any differently.
I know they'd leave me. I regularly fly the Betsy Ross, Gadsen and Bonnie Blue flags. Just found out the FBI considers me (and anyone else displaying these) as right-wing extremists.
If she has so little regard for her birth country, let her serve her full sentence! Reminds me of the Revolutionary war guy that said he did not want to set foot on USA territory ever again, he lived the rest of his life being transfered from one navy ship to the next till he died and was burried at sea.
