Did Pussy Riot get off light?

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

On a roll here.

MOSCOW -- A judge sentenced three women who staged an anti-Kremlin protest on the altar of Moscow's main Russian Orthodox church to two years in jail each on Friday in a trial seen as test of President Vladimir Putin's tolerance of dissent.
The trio from punk bad Pussy Riot, handcuffed in a courtroom cage, reacted with giggles and one rolled her eyes when the judge issued the sentences after reading the guilty verdict for almost three hours.
A man in the courtroom shouted "Shame!" and hundreds of protesters outside the Moscow courthouse repeated that chant and whistled when news of the sentence came.

Two years for mocking the church. Shame? They will show you 'shame' Orthodox White Male Christian Guy™! When they get out of prison after writing 50 hit songs, they will go world wide and start a youth revolution that will finally result in the destruction of the Illuminati led reptilians make lots of money for the industry by selling angry pop music and MERCH!

Or not...

I talked to a bright 19 year old girl who attends our venue regularly about PR. She had never heard of either PR them or the 'partrichary', and was amazed I was 'so into what was going on around the globe'. I gave full credit to people like you contributors, btw.

My opinion is the world needs more pussy riot and less christian cock (TW: rerun). There is no shame in what they did or how they did it. The hatred showed by "the children of Christ" reinforces non-believers assertions that the patriarchial Holy Church is a joke, in the eyes of both their Dead god, and their fellow men.


Pussy. They like the word..."pussy"

Russia appears to be in the same social state that the US was in around the 50s and early 60s. Of course, sometimes it seems like the US is in that state too.

Without the decent jobs for the middle class, of course.

This is gross and disgusting. I feel shame about our broken judicial system.

Does Putin have any executive powers to legally pardon anyone in the constitution?

Two years for singing a one minute song. Clearly Putin was very afraid of women protestors singing in a church.

[pofigistiks.livejournal.com]

You have the president can influence the court? Surprised. In Russia, not so.

Is there a translation of the lyrics?

Nevermind.

Patriarch Gundyaev believes in Putin
Bitch, better believe in God instead

Truth to power, indeed.

It is the Russian version of American Idol. The losers get sent to the Gulag.

Red October memes never get old!


It's a pretty good Tom Clancy movie, as well.

They should be arrested for trespassing and for making shitty music.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

It's the State Church. How can it be trespassing? It's open to the public.

In other news, the killings at Kent State proved that people should not be allowed to vote.

I'm sure the verdict is considered "a compromise solution" in they eyes of the Russians.

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

Well I tend to agree (hence my comment). I thought they would get at least 15 years.

This is how you get 'creds' in the radical demographic. I would not be surprised if this was all calculated to launch an international career.

Maybe not. Maybe they believe all the things they said.

Moscow just banned gay parades for the next 100 YEARS!

Russia has a long way to go in the free speech and discrimination categories.

Do not lie. The gay community has submitted an idiotic request. Request on 100 years parades . Request was rejected.

The heavy handed abuse of the justice system is a sign that Russia has not freed itself from the legacy of its Communist past. Blaming this recent action on Christianity seems a bit ridiculous.

There you go.

Brave kids. I hope they don't pay too heavily for this, but they probably will.
