She broke the law and so did the old white man that took his medical marijuana with him and now he wants to be set free because he feels she's getting special treatment because she's a basketball player. His family wasn't trying to get him home until this happened!!!! He's serving 14 years and now wants to cry about it!!!! STFU! IF SHE STAYS, THEY ALL FUCKING STAY!!!!!!! PERIOD!
free maxwell
Treacherous turncoat!!! Max her out and give that traitor the most time possible!!!! Than revoke her U.S. citizenship
Let her go
25 second mark…That's a woman voice??
Leave her in a cell blasting the national anthem 23 hours a day. That ought to keep her woke all the time. 🇺🇸🎶ðŸâ€ÂŠðŸ˜µâ€ÂÂ💫
She should've known better
Well i guess this is what happens when people think because they are a celebrity or have alot of money. That they have special privileges maybe in america but not in russia. I don't think this will end well for brittney and i believe she will be doing time. I dont think russia is as diplomatic about stuff like this as we are in america. Good luck brittney. Stay strong.
She’s an anti American! Why come back! Pls take the view ! The most disgusting rude racist show!
So unfair. She's gay she's black.she'swoke hates America. The girl is perfect. Come on man. Let her go.
Russia should keep her and use her as a toilet
Good keep her their Americans don't want her back.
This will teach someone and those who make poor choices and believe they can play on the system. Rule is rule period and no drug smugglers has gotten away with it unless they are not caught. This man knew what she did and the risks he took.
Where’s the LGBT community😳😳…Oops I forgot she’s Black.ðŸ¤â€Â
Being real, that's their country their rules. Break rules you get penalized. Simple.
Is this woman transgender? . Her voice is very deep .
Not medicinal in RU. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. You knowingly broke the law 🙄
It is pathetic and gets what it deserves
How do you "prove leniency"??? You mean try and make a plead for it, lol.
Im in the mood to hug my pitbulls. Sweet doggos!!!
That's the difference with outlaws and the laws in other countries…So think twice when you think your gonna do things your way and nobody can tell you different…Here in America people should abide by our laws or face consequences too we have to stop being so soft on criminals…set examples and others will think twice about commiting a crime…Her incarceration has nothing to do with politics…She committed a crime now do the time…
A lot of white folks in the comments and it shows
That's why she's in trouble because she's a lesbian
If she gets out ,, it’s going to be chaos
It's not a "trial". it's a "scam". The same people who are trying her for cbd, that you can buy at any corner store in America is notorious for "drugging up" their Athletes for competition, the most recent (we know about) is the skater. This is BS.
So what happens if the President breaks the law in another country. First of all I'm not calling Brittany or anyone else the President.
I don't wish jail on anybody but she messed up so just like everybody else she gotta pay
after this hope to see her on locked up aboard
She broke the law…pure and simple. Don’t give her any special privileges. She hates the USA ansyway
Now she will be brought back to USA, still have an attitude of hate for this Country and make a million on TV shows and book deals. Leave her there.
Leave here there. We don’t want “herâ€ÂÂ
While I were in the Army, all soldiers were briefed on each Country we deployed to on their Code of Conduct. Get in trouble by breaking their law, you are on your own
How many Russians has she murdered?
Leave her in Russia.. she shouldn't be getting Hy.
Also don't we expect better from our basketball players 😜?
🫠Full o weed..I Wana play too then
It's time for this girl to return to the 🇺🇸, enough is enough!
Bye Felicia
I don't get why if she pled guilty to the charges then why are they having a trial
She farked up… her own fault 🇦🇺
Griner to receive 60 month sentence later today. Developing TMZ
6 years should be enough maybe this guy would learn his lesson and start appreciating his country more
How was she wrongfully arrested? If I was to cross into USA with marijuana, I would be arrested… Because it is not federally legal.
If Reagan was president she would've been home,. The man dreamt of leveling Moscow, sick and tired and Russia trying to steal our best athelets,
We trade the Russians Brittney Spears for Brittney Griner.
I feel that she should have to serve every day of her sentence she broke the law. Her activism don’t work outside americA. And these clowns need to learn that.
This woman is so stupid. Cause of her need to get high the US is releasing Lord of War for her. The world is going to get much worse cause of her. Thanks Britney
