    Reading the comments on this video reveals why I think people are SH!T! There is so much racisn, sexism, and unnecessary meanness here. BG made a mistake.

    Interesting that many of the comments in the comments section are written by people who have never travel outside of the US. In Canada, you can be fined for putting your foot on a seat when riding public transportation. Nobody jailed Pamela Anderson Lee when she overstayed her visa. Hypocrites! So many people unknowingly break the law when they travel.

    Brittney never left the airport. When people enter a country thats not their own they might be ignorant of the laws. She wasn't in Russia selling drugs. She should have been turned around and sent back to the US, ban her from ever enteting again. And her original sentence was way too harsh even for a local.

    This is about a human being. Who made a mistake. A really big mistake. And she made it in a communist country run by a VERY EVIL man, Putin. There’s no comparison between Russia’s communist court system & America’s. The punishment was extreme & I’m beyond happy for her that she’s home. Refusing to have compassion for someone’s suffering, in this situation, is both mean-spirited & arrogant. Britney owned her mistake & seems genuinely humbled by the experience. There are many, also in the public eye, who could learn from her.
