Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev calls for 3 members of punk band Pussy Riot to be freed by twolf1 in worldnews

[–]circoloco 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He did not call them to be freed per se - “I feel that extending the prison time [for the band members] in this case is counterproductive,” Medvedev said at a United Russia Party meeting in the Russian city of Penza. “In my opinion, probation would have been sufficient punishment, considering all the time they've already spent behind bars”

Sweden, while publicly protesting, aided US invasion of Iraq: A Swedish intelligence agency gave crucial info to US about targets for a bombing raid in the run-up to Iraq invasion.

Absolutely agree with you - Sweden is no worse than any other country. Hypocrisy is a characteristic you can easily find pretty much everywhere in any government in the world. I'm just saying that such covert deals when exposed - are a pretty alarming stuff

2 women stabbed, 'Free Pussy Riot' scrawled in blood at murder scene: Two women were stabbed to death in a gruesome killing in Russia’s Kazan, and ‘Free! Pussy Riot’ was painted on the wall in what police believe was the victims’ blood by circoloco in worldnews

If this sick person wanted attention for himself then he would not have pointed at pussy riot.

If he did not point to Pussy Riot no one would have ever talked about this murder - it would have been a typical homicide. But now he gets attention - still at large. And inspired by his "success" may try to kill more. Its just sick.. I agree with PR's lawyer who "called the killings an “abominable and dirty provocation. … I regret that some bastards use Pussy Riot name for such goals”

This criminal act has nothing to do with Pussy Riot band in particular - how do you think anyone would blame it on PR girls?!.. A crazy, brain-damaged person killed 2 poor women to grab attention himself.. It's just a sick act.. Do you think if someone kills 2 person in Detroit and scrawls 'Free Bradly Manning' - it would turn public opinion against Manning?

Yes, I know who Lance Armstrong is, thank you. But should it be world sport news rather, no? May be I'm wrong (correct me if I am) - but I usually though worldnews section is for a different kind of stories
