I don’t mind someone who can hoop jumping the line to get a free sandwich or shirt that someone else doesn’t get. That’s life. But someone who can hoop shouldn’t get to jump the line and get their freedom back over someone in the same predicament because, well, they can hoop.
@KimTirik Kim- isn’t my lane an American citizen? You were a wonderful basketball player, one of the best guards (men’s or women’s) to ever come out of this area. That said, I’d never look at you as just a basketball player. You are a human. You don’t have a lane. Nor do I.
@colin_dunlap She didn’t jump the line. As a negotiator, you can only negotiate with the other party who they are willing to set free. Obviously, they aren’t ready to release Paul, yet. It’s unfortunate, but until Putin says he can be freed, he stays.
