Pussy Riot sentenced to two years for "hooliganism"

Heh, could have been worse. In Stalin's time they probably would have been sent to the firing range. Still, two years seems absurd.

It is absurd!

I thought things were more open and freer in Russia.

They'd even embraced Capitalism.

I guess not!

Mark my words, this is coming to the USA.

They'd already silently passed laws making the right to assembly a crime!

If someone we know gets another 4 years, this is coming!

Good thing this didn't happen in the U.S. They would certainly be sent to the FEMA Camps.
