Anti-gay violence in Russia: Why the Second Amendment exists

[chenger]

I wrote the following piece to highlight some really bad stuff happening in Russia right now. Tyranny defined. If only the victims had 2A rights to protect themselves...

The 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia are already off to a rough start. However, the anti-gay violence that is taking place ratchets things up (VIDEO ABOVE- warning, graphic violence). The Human Rights Campaign has put together the above video to document and highlight how innocent people are getting beat up and abused, simply for being gay and for simply speaking out in defense of gay rights. The Russian police and government are taking no action to protect people from threats and physical abuse. With Russia's recent "gay propaganda" law and police inaction on this issue, the state is essentially endorsing anti-gay violence.

Watch the video and read the rest at https://www.topshotchris.com/1/post/...nt-exists.html

Russia's house, Russia's rules. I don't support the violence, but that's exactly the kind of thing that happens when you (as an extreme minority of the population) try and force your lifestyle to be recognized by everyone around you when they had no reason to care in the first place.

To that effect, I imagine Russians have as much a right to freely express themselves as they do to defend themselves with lethal force. Not my countrymen, so not my problem.

Russia's house, Russia's rules? Good thing you're not a spokesperson for the second amendment.

Russia seems like a wonderful place to live in.

Got to love these pet outrage topics. You fellas should get over your desire to mind other people's business or go over and help those poor bastards out with your own blood and guts.

does any of you read what exactly became a law in Russia? it's against pedofilia and has nothing to do with what US gay propaganda trying show here.
their choice, their laws .

Is everything already in order here in US that we push our noses to other countries? The Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iraq, Livia, Egypt, etc did not teach you anything? Do we have here everything as it is supposed to be? No one violates your rights? Don't we have people killed for their beliefs, sexual orientation? Don't we have people killed by insurance companies who declined covering treatment (In no country in the world such situation can happen, only in US and for sure not in Russia)? Don't we have people who cannot afford medication because drug companies charge at leas 20 times more than same medicine costs abroad.Don't we have people killed for the color of their skin ( the game changed though, now whites getting killed, remember the knock down game) and police does not do anything significant. People are getting prosecuted for reveling that government steps on your rights (remember Edward Snowden?) When here everything is 100% OK, than lets start judging others. But while you have mess at your own house, do not judge and do not teach others how to cleanup. The gay right in Russia as what worries you??? Think about your rights first!

funny how some skipped that first part and ran straight to the second.

I agree 100% by the way.

Did they force their views on people that disagree? If so, they got what they deserved. Some countries it's acceptable to get beatdown. Russia has said the Olympics are not about politics, including race & sexual orientation. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Jesus, did barrage say rape was the victim's fault? Pretty quick to crucify members in OT lately.

Yep. We don't want the UN telling us what we can do with our guns.. don't see why we need to tell Russia what gay people can do in that country.

Anti-gay violence in Russia: Why the Second Amendment exists

I am not gay, nor am an activist. But I don't see the need to torture other human beings as seen in the video.
