[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will it take for people to understand that when you go to a foreign country you are subject to their laws and penalties just as foreigners who come to the US are subject to our laws and penalties?

You can argue until the cows come home about shake downs and the minimal nature of the offenses but it is irrelevant. These guys and especially the douche bag Lochte violated the law there and that is the end of it.

The arrogance of Americans in thinking that they can get away with any kind of b-s in a foreign country is just amazing. In most countries, there is no right against self-incrimination, right to counsel, Miranda warnings, etc. If you don't like the way the legal system works abroad then stay in the US but it is ludicrous to go to a foreign country and expect that US standards of jurisprudence will be in effect.

If you go to countries like Malaysia or Indonesia and are found to have drugs, you face the death penalty. In fact, there are large posters at immigration and customs warning you that possession of drugs leaves you vulnerable to the death penalty. What is more, there are foreigners, including westerners,  who have been executed in these countries for being in possession of drugs.

I personally am opposed to the death punishment - and not just for dealing in drugs - but that is neither here nor there. You cannot go to a foreign country and then expect they will not implement their laws.

Police in Rio de Janeiro Thursday indicted U.S. Olympic swimmers Ryan Lochte and James Feigen for falsely reporting a crime, the latest twist in a bizarre case that has overshadowed the final week of the Summer Games. [/i]

But, of course, this is an indictment in Brazil and therefore cannot possibly be taken seriously. If Lochte pays a fine, the suggestion will be that it was extortion.

Justice can only be done in the US according to some.[/quote]

He was held at gunpoint and was told to cough up money. Maybe in your godforsaken shithole of a country that is okay but in America that is called armed robbery.[/quote]

You fucking cretin. I am an American so if you can't live with people expressing a contrary view then you can get the hell out of my country.

Fortunately, you and your ilk are a dying breed and not a day too soon. People like you have no hesitation telling foreigners who come to this country to obey our laws but then you have no problem when an American goes to another country and breaks the law.

And you can't even argue coherently that lochte has committed any crime so you are the imbecile.[/quote]

No, any person who assumes that being critical of Lochte means that the individual belongs to some other country is a complete moron.

I provided a link from Fox News which I figured was the authority for nuts like you and it said that Lochte had been indicted. You may not like that information but it is FOX NEWS! What more can you want?

The good news is that an ignoramuses like you who are clueless about other countries will gradually be a non-factor in this country. In the meantime you can continue to believe that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim.[/quote]

Wrong. You are asserting that Lochte is a criminal deserving of being robbed at gunpoint. People who believe in the rule of law are disagreeing with you. The fact that  you bring up Obama and Muslims exposes you for the idiot that you are.[/quote]
