The US (and a lot of the west) has a two-track justice system. People who are on the good track, so to speak, don't have to take laws seriously. In effect, they don't have to take of anything seriously - especially when they play children's games well. No f**ks given.

Reading that linked article about the events in Turkey took my breath away. Even with all of the connections and money, it was still a nightmare. And the stupid sword was nothing special. What story!

Interesting that most of the buzzfeed comments think that mrs. griner is a victim. Is 9 years too much? Probably. But if you're stupid enough to bring pot to Russia, especially while the country is at war, then you probably deserve what you get. In her luggage by mistake, ha. She's been bringing it there many times prior, and got caught this time.
