So half the Deputies, not "some", where not in fear of the firebomb throwing mobs surrounding the parliament building and running loose in the city? The same mobs were burning cops alive. Do you think the would hesitate to kill a few hated Deputies.
Nice to see a fellow FReeper standing-up for constitutional law, the cops, and order.

While the Yanukovych administration used Russian agents in its Berkut police force as snipers to murder unarmed protestors, the protestors seized and arrested these Yanukovych security men and handed them over to higher authorities for detention, investigation, and potential prosecutions for mass urder. So, contrary to your efforts at false propaganda demeaning the Ukrainian protestors, the Yanukovych suspects were in far less danger from the protestors than the protestors were in danger of abductions, assassinations, and outright murder by some of the Yanukovych security forces. It should also be noted how many of the Ukrainian and local police and security forces concluded the Yanukovych goverment was committing crimes in its deadly attacks upon the protestors that provoked the protestors to pursue more violent responses in their defense of the presence and their free speech. In response to those crimes, the police and securit forces joined in the defense of the protestors and the parliament. The Deputies who abandoned their offices despite not being suspects in the criminal investigations did so for theor own political purposes, as evidenced by the return to the parliament of one Deputy who was a former KGB officer and is accused of being a current agent of the foreign Russian FSB secret police. Despite this alleged treason against the Ukraine, the othe rmembers of parliament called for his expulsion and investigation of his alleged crimes, but did not threaten him physically. So, your alarmist rhetoric appears to be nothing more than propaganda amounting to a false incitement to riot and insurrection against the remaining Deputies elected by the Ukrainian citizens.
