Russia’s judiciary is thoroughly corrupt. Anyone Vlad wants imprisoned will be convicted.
How the HECK can he have time to comment on a punk rock bank in Russia and not once mention 7 US service members killed in a helicopter (allegedly) shot down in Afghanistan?
Just when I think it is impossible for me to despise this guy any more than I do, he digs deeper into the Abyss. This guy cares nothing about life. Nothing about America.
Just musing....
As if 0bama, if he could get away with it, wouldn’t crush all dissent.
“I am disappointed. Now, that was distracting—which hole are we on?”
In any event, every society must determine for itself how it will protect what it deems sacred, within its own domain. Not being a "one-worlder," far be it from me to criticize Russia over this. Frankly, I give thanks to the same God to whom the Russians are now also free again to worship, that Russia & its former satelites are no longer part of the Marxist menace.

We let child killers and molesters walk free.
What the hell do we know about Justice!?!?!?!
We have become a nation of morally permissive wimps.
That's exactly what Pussy Riot did in Moscow. They interrupted chuch service, yelled Holly shit and called Patriarch Kiril a bitch. The church was chosen on purpose - it was destroyed by the communists in 1931 and built with the donations of ordinary people in 1992 when Russians lived in abject poverty.
Freedom of Speech?
They knew in advance such behavior is illegal in Russia, like anywhere else in civilized world. That's why they wore balaclavas to hide identity.
They knew that Russia will be under pressure not to enforce law. That's exactly how Department of Defense defines terrorism: “the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”
Only racists who hate Russians as people and bigots who hate Christians can not see this.
This case isn’t about free speech. The politics in the songs is just being used as a cover for the fact that they’re abusing the property of others to make their (profitable) internet music videos.
Believing in the narrative of this bunch’s “impromptu” performances is like believing that The Monkees TV show was a documentary of actual events. Each of their preplanned video escapades is a way of adding spice and popularity to their videos.
If they arranged with the property owners to stage an “impromptu” performance for the sake of their videos like responsible members of civilized society, their fans would be calling them fakes and sell outs. Instead, they violate property of others, profit off it, then try to hide behind the politics in their lyrics.
Abusing property rights in the name of “free speech”...sound familiar?
If they’d raised a fuss in an abortion clinic, he would have supported their immediate execution.
I thought Obama and Medvedev were best buddies. Obama promised to be more flexible after he got reelected.
Ironical... The pussy who tries to incite riots chiming in on the plight of the members of Pussy Riot.
Sure, dictator 0b0z0 expected at least a life sentence if not execution.
Very disappointing indeed.
Pussy riot is a feminist wing of a neo-bolshevik group “Vojna” aka “War”. Their activity is centered against a church and law-enforcement.
Another their acts are “Dick in the ass” punk performance in a courtroom, “mentopop” performance which was about robbing a supermarket wearing a mix of police uniform and a priest’s dress, burnind down one and turning upside down another police vehicle, a series of sexual assaults on police women in subways etc.
In fact some of their “comrades” were on trial for these things before, that is there this “Dick in the ass” performance from.

You can see all these faces.
“Mordovian hour” performance on May, 1 2008 (throwing stray cats into McDonald’s kitchen to feed animals with decadent food and make low-paid workforce celebrate Labor day as they claim it):

Note the song in Yiddish in background. It is a Jewish bolshevik song from October revolution, which is roughly about “!@#$ the police”. AFAIK one of performers was finally shot in process.

I’m not including public orgies, sex with a frozen chicken in store etc.
They need to get jailed forever.
This whole shtick sounds suspiciously like something an idiot community organizer would spend the CIA’s budget on...
