Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So a punk rock band is found guilty of playing an anti-putin protest song in a church. What a shambles the Russian judicial system is. OK Russia, you're going to have to stop pretending you're anything even remotely resembling a modern democracy.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 What has been revealed through their protest that we were already not aware of.Protesting in such a way,in a church,deserves a prison sentence. Should have been longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADP 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Stupid doing it in a church - gives him the excuse to be stupid about it. They did it in the church becasue they were highlighting the Putin/Church overfriendly relationship. Edited August 17, 2012 by ADP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Could they not have done it outside the church . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No because that was the point they were making, perhaps they were symbolising that no one could get as close to the church as Putin? I dinar... In answer to your earlier question, nothing particularly new has been revealed. But it has been revealed to more people in different parts of different societies as the story has gone global. If you think that the prison sentence should have been longer you're mental. It is not simply a case of 'they broke the law, they should be reprimanded accordingly'. To suggest so validates Russia as a healthy honest democracy.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So nowhere is sacred when maximum publicity is sort.Maybe they should have waited until halfway through a funeral. It should never have taken place in a church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Interestingly, by way of contrast, in the great democracy that is Britain, an innocent, homeless, alcoholic newspaper vendor can be murdered by a policeman, who will not be required to atone for this act. As regards freedom of speech, 99.9% of people assume this means saying things they agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpneumonic 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Russia is officially still a secular state, so inside/outside of church should have no bearing. The fact that Putin and the Russian Othodox church are seemingly in alliance is exactly what the protest was about. Therefore it kinda doesn't work outside the church. Whilst I'm not a massive fan of the girls musically, to be imprisoned for 2 years for insulting someones imaginary friend in the 21st century is baffling.
