    "Hooliganism": Apparently in Russia you go to jail

    Sorry, I know you were expecting the bike version, heh. Feel sorry for these girls. In America they might get a slap on the wrist for possibly trespass or disorderly conduct, etc., while excercising their free speech. But in Russia they get two years in jail, ugh.

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/17/world/...html?hpt=hp_t1

    Moscow (CNN) -- Three members of Russian female punk rock band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison Friday after they were found guilty of hooliganism for performing a song critical of President Vladimir Putin in a church.

    The five months they have spent in detention since their arrests in March count toward the sentence, Judge Marina Sirovaya said.
    The judge said the charges against the three women -- Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich -- had been proved by witnesses and the facts.

    The Pussy Riot members were charged after screaming, "Mother Mary, please drive Putin away," in a protest act in February inside Christ Savior Cathedral, one of Moscow's grandest houses of worship.

    Well, go buy their album and support freedom of hooliganism.

    The news on this was amusing this morning. BBC had no problem plastering 'PUSSY RIOT' in big letters on the title bar below the video, whereas NBC went nowhere near it.

    It's amazing just how much free speech a socialist government owned network has compared to a capitalist privately owned one...
