I'll say it again because somehow we still have people trying to argue that she shouldn't be punished for breaking clear laws of another country, but fuck her and anyone who somehow thinks that she deserves better. This is exactly why so many places want Americans banned from entry, huge parts of America have decided that covid isn't a big deal while it runs rapid through their communities and yet somehow they also think because they don't care as much about their own citizens dying that other places shouldn't care either, fuck that noise. This woman knew the situation, she knew it was the law there, she decided that she was above that law, which I assume is due to the fact that in the usa she probably would be, but she didn't stay in the usa, she left and went to another country and risked the lives of the citizens of that country.
This wasn't a mistake or children being silly, this was willfully deciding that she would rather see a stupid jetski competition than take the steps required by the law of the country to protect the very people who live there. The fact Americans are somehow acting like prison is too harsh says it all, I'm sorry but this is the real world, take a look around at how generally people in the usa reacted to rules put in places for covid, this is literally why she assumed she could act the same way elsewhere, now this American girl has learned that other countries aren't going to let her selfish American privileged mindset destroy their people.
Oh and to anyone who wants to say that somehow her being in prison for 4 months isn't fair, well again fuck you because there are people like my mum and disabled sister who haven't been able to go outside for 10 months now because people like this woman and her bf who decided that their needs are more important than the wellbeing of others. I don't care how the prison system is there, if I go to another country and break the laws I don't get to request that I'm sent to a hotel to serve my sentence, and I sure as shit don't care for her when as I've said my mum and sister have been stuck at home for 10 months while my mum takes care of my sister in end of life stages of care and worried that anytime she may need medical attention could be the time she gets covid from the outside world on the way there. This is not a game, you don't get to just act like because you don't care about covid restrictions and issues that no one else should hold you to account for that willful neglect, and you sure as shit don't get to go to another country as a tourist and then outright ignore and violate rules they put in place to protect their country and then cry when they hold you to account and you don't like the prison you may end up in.
