[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it’s Turks & Caicos, not Russia. It is against the law to have firearms or ammunition there. [/quote]

But the vape cartridge was against the law in Russia. Why respect one country’s laws but not another?

Oh are we taking Russia’s word for it? [/quote]

Sorry are you saying the cartridge is actually not unlawful in Russia? Or that it wasnt actually Griner’s?

If the latter, she has admitted repeatedly that it was hers.[b] Including when she was back here and able to speak freely [/b]

State Dept will ask her to maintain a consistent story with what she said in Russian courts in order to protect future American detainees who get arrested in Russia. Two Americans - including an active duty US military soldier - were detained this week.

So no, we will never know the truth about her detainment. I've always believed the Russian government planted it because they knew a wealthy black lesbian athlete would be the perfect foil for stoking the culture wars in the U.S. (and the Russians succeeded).

The guys in T&C will get to leave after a few months of detainment and a massive fine. T&C government is more reliable than Russia. [/quote]
