White House ‘disappointed’ by Pussy Riot verdict

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

At his daily briefing, White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the administration is “disappointed by the verdict. While we understand the group’s behavior was offensive for some, we have concerns about the way these young women were treated by the Russian judicial system.”

Three Russian feminist punk rockers were sentenced to two years in prison today for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” after protesting President Valdimir Putin in a cathedral.

4. How barbaric.

Why can't they just be kettled, beaten and shot in the face with sporadically lethal projectiles like in America.


Stupid little people not keeping subservient.
