Opinion by Guy Reschenthaler • Wednesday, December 14, 2022I agree. It does not matter her color, creed, gender, or sexual preference.
What matters is that the US wasted time on securing the release of someone who was rightfully arrested for smuggling drugs simply because they are an athlete. Idiotic.
Was American teacher left behind in Russian prison camp because he wasn't woke enough for Team Biden?
Russians imprisoned American teacher for drug offense similar to Griner’s but he’s still in custody.
In August 2021, Marc Fogel was detained at the Sheremetyevo Airport with a small amount of medical marijuana prescribed for his chronic back pain – similar to Griner’s situation. (I never received clarification on whether griner has a valid medical prescription.) Does any one know? Less than a year later, Fogel was sentenced to 14 years of hard labor in a Russian prison, a sentence usually reserved for large-scale drug smugglers. He has been in custody ever since.What makes Marc Fogel, an American educator's case different from griner's? The same things that should not matter. To the point, they did matter in Fogel's case.
