Priests led the mob - Russia

Still mad about the Russian gays being attacked at their IDAHO march yesterday. Must say the video of that bus getting attacked like that was very dramatic and horrible. Can't imagine how the gay people on it must have felt. I'd have been absolutely terrified. I imagine many of them will have mental health issues after this.

It was bad enough seeing an enraged mob attacking defenceless people because of their sexuality, but perhaps even more disturbing is the sight of the crowd breaking through the police line lead by priests FFS.

   
They should be up on charges for that. If it was here they would be. Priests aren't fuckin god. They should obey the law of the land like everyone else is expected to.Yet here they are leading a violent mob of hate.

But heavy police cordons failed to contain furious anti-gay activists led by priests, who rushed to the new gay parade location. Upon breaking into the public garden, the agitated crowd engaged in a violent pursuit, beating and throwing stones at all the people who were thought to be representing and advocating for the minorities.

At least 28 people were injured in clashes, and 14 of them hospitalized, Georgian Minister of Health David Sergeenko said. A journalist suffering blunt force trauma to the head and a passer-by who had his leg broken were among the injured. more

I'd put my own morality up against theirs any day. To stir up such hatred to one particular group of people is immoral.

The several dozen brave souls who attempted their peaceful march had to be rescued by police and bused out of the city center for their safety. The mob decended on the bus with such ferocity that it's lucky they escaped with their lives. more

Russians may not realise the extent that they're hurting their relationship with the west. This from the same article. 

Georgia has expressed interest in joining the European Union, however, until substantial progress has been made on these human rights abuses, the EU would be better off without them. That sits just fine with many of the narrow-minded population. more
