Reply to comment by missingmytowel in Russia detains WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich on espionage charges by jack_lafouine

Wow what a gymnastic take here.

A gymnastics take is thinking somebody doesn't need to be released from prison because they are a black person who smokes weed. But we got a ton of those guys locked up over here for that so it makes sense.

Cause let's be realistic here. If she was a white girl that got arrested for public intoxication in Russia it would have been a completely different reaction from conservatives. They would have been just fine with it.

No she was a person who got arrested with illegal drugs. Again another weird take by you

Clutch those pearls boomer.

She received longest sentence ever received by somebody in Russia for possession of a small amount of marijuana. She was a political prisoner. Thrown in a kangaroo court and handed many many more years than any citizen would have received for the exact same charge.

You are now basically advocating for the Russian judicial system and long-term imprisonment of foreigners for political gain.

Wtf.... You went from being a racist and a self declared homophobe to now being a Russian troll. This has been one heck of a roller coaster

I’m so confused about when I was racist and a self-declared homophobe in my previous 2 comments? You are not only jumping through hoops but setting them up for yourself.
