From the New York Daily News:
Cossack militia men lashed members of Pussy Riot with whips Wednesday as they attempted to perform a song under a sign advertising the Sochi Olympics.
Six members of the feminist collective — five women and one man — were about to perform their protest song “Putin will teach you to love the motherland” about 21 miles from the site of the Winter Games when the 10 Cossacks and other security officials closed in.
One used pepper spray on the punk rockers, another whipped several members while other government thugs ripped off their signature balaclavas and tossed a guitar in the trash.
Police arrived on the scene and questioned witnesses, but no one was arrested — an apparent example of the lawlessness in President Vladimir Putin’s Russia that the band rails against.
The brazen beatdown took place in front of numerous journalists and witnesses.
GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThose Cossacks are absolute barbarians. Imagine treating a guitar like that! I mean, they don't know three chords between them but that's no reason to take it out the Strat.
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you can take a whip to a pussy riot.
