Russia Sentences Pussy Riot to Two Years

In Bahrain .. they probably would of been stoned to death in public..

 

JMT just knows how metal it is to have respect for religion.

 

This is wrong on so many levels.

 

I just saw some photos on Der Speigel. Pussy Riot and another organization have been doing this kind of thing for years. They're the real deal. Punker activists. Very courageous.imo

 

Before protests, russia would have done nothing.

After protests, russia will do nothing, while wishing they had originally done nothing.

Yes, inciting religious hatred is an interesting charge for singing a prayer and dancing, even if it was an anti-putin-prayer and a bawdy dance.

Still, russia has never been hesitant to criminalize religion before this, why should they worry now?

 

If this had happened in the US or most other Western countries, they would have probably been arrested for disorderly conduct, trespassing, things like that, and would have probably just been given a fine or short jail sentence. The fact that these chicks got 3 years is just proof that the whole trial and resulting sentence was politically motivated.

Putin is just another warmed-over Soviet dictator that allows more of the 'free market' than his predecessors. Personally, he scares the hell out of me

 

He's "ex-KGB"....... like that's even a thing.

When putin and co. got in control, they essentially set up soviet russia, only much more profitable and even more corrupt.

 

I did say that the verdict was today near the start of the thread but I guess nobody read it

 

They've just been given 2 years starting from when they were arrested.

 

Hahaha!

 

Skip. Did you mean FREE PUSSY RIOT!!!Or FREE PUSSY. Riot?





I guess either one works.

 

This is the last thing Im writing here because I am learning again how to live without internet... so no more writing here neither lol

so:


I wish all the light and love to your souls and that you will be able to spread some more peace in this world, have a nice life and good luck on your mission:sunny:

 

whats does metal have to do with religion?

 

that was my point it was that the government tortures poeople in general.

I never said its okay to disrespect religion.

 

I'd like to add a very poignant quote from Pussy Riot as was included in their closing statement.

"in this closing statement, I would like to describe my firsthand experience of running afoul of this system. Our schooling, which is where the personality begins to form in a social context, effectively ignores any particularities of the individual. There is no “individual approach,” no study of culture, of philosophy, of basic knowledge about civic society. Officially, these subjects do exist, but they are still taught according to the Soviet model. And as a result, we see the marginalization of contemporary art in the public consciousness, a lack of motivation for philosophical thought, and gender stereotyping. The concept of the human being as a citizen gets swept away into a distant corner."

Kind of scary when you think about it. This is where the U.S. is .. and where we're heading.

 

WOW!!! 3 yrs! That is a bit much & over the top. How ridiculous lame!
