“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.
That's wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.
EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don't think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It's easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it's naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.
“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share.”
Uh... sorry to tell you that, but a little over one third of America doesn't share those values and the other two thirds don't care enough to get off their couches.
Well when you're abducted without reason and imprisoned for 6 weeks, and the president is pushing for approval to deport anyone who "hates America" I imagine she is hesitant to saying anything other than I love America at this time. Even, I love America but this was wrong is probably something she's worried about saying
