You're going to try tell me that if your loved one was jailed in Russia for an 11 year term on what you knew was a trumped up charge, you'd be ok with it? Naah, I ain't buying what you're selling. Bet you'd be lobbying hard to get them back by nearly any means necessary and damn happy when they got released. But copycat is saying he'd tell his mom, "Sorry, mom. Vlad said you did the crime so ya gonna just have to do the time. Imma go back to enjoying my PBR now, call me next decade."

Lol, gonna have to call [BLEEP] on that one.

Trumped up?  It was an illegal substance flown into a foreign country.  Only an entitled, arrogant self-centred individual would feel themselves above the law as a guest of a foreign country.  You keep skipping over that simple fact.  As I stated before, I would fret, and yes I would do everything in my power to assist in getting them out, but in the end the fault is clearly on the individual regardless of relationship. It used to be called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
