I figure Putin to step in and do the "macho chivalrous" thing at the end... he loves that stuff, especially when he can look good releasing women who were protesting about him.
But also... it will depend on what kind of judge handles the appeal. This judge's ruling pretty well outed him as an altar boy of the Church if you read his remarks. The incident warranted a fine for disturbing the peace, at most.

As for the gay parades - yeah, unfortunately you can't stop it. Good thing we have ОМОН for this(ironicaly reads as HOMO from right to left)

I know I'm not the most understanding person in the world but even I can see how this is a major step back in human rights.

South African miners protest violence leaves 30 dead
There's a video of the moment when South African cops opened up on the miners and mowed down a bunch of them. Some say the miners, armed with machetes and spears were charging the cops, others say that the miners were running from tear gas fired by the cops and moved in the direction of a line of police. Keep in mind, 2 cops were hacked to death several days earlier so I can imagine the cops were jumpy.

Well, the man DOES look like he could stare down a grizzly bear to death, not to mention probably has metric tons of blood on his hands from KGB days. That's one world leader I would NOT mess with.

Of course, there may have been initial shots fired prior to that piece of video from either side.

Recognise what? A mental disease*? An awful mistake of nature? Step back in human rights? Where? As I already said - nobody is trying to make them be straight or something. Not to mention that many people find the very fact of homosexual relations disgusting. *Homosexuality was officially removed from the Russian list of mental illnesses in 1999 (after endorsing ICD-10).

They aren't doing gay parade for the fun, they do it to show people they exist and as such laws should evolve to make them enter in our society.
for example mariage here is considered as the vow between a man and a woman, it's the law, as such homosexual can't marry. Morality and ethnicity evolves by far faster than laws, if they simply wait nobody's going to give them a single care. And to say ti's socially wrong is quite arguable, just watch the evolution of homoseuxality between 60' and today, it passed from "an illness/deviance" to "is tolerable". I personally don't see in what way trying to have the same rights as the others is BAD. But the only valable reason I can see is you disgusting them? |
