"Two members of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot were attacked by a group of men who poured rubbish and bright green paint over them and shouted obscenities at them at a McDonald's restaurant.
A video, uploaded by the group on Thursday, shows at least three men attacking Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, shouting "[Go] to America!" and shooting paint into their faces from syringes in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
"It hurts! Why are you doing this?" Tolokonnikova says, with green stains on her face and hands. "You don't have the right to hurt me. Please don't do that to anyone anymore.""* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

(44 posts)Nadezhda and Maria are in my opinion some of the most strong minded women in the world. Both of these beautiful women have my respect. These children attacking them need to have their butts kicked for even thinking of doing anything like this. They would fit in well with the right wing conservatives and tea party. It appears that the conservatives and tea party have become communist after what they have said about President Obama and putin these past weeks. They would rather have putin as the President of the United States and President Obama as the leader of the Russian Republic. The Russian administration and the conservatives seem to have the same agenda going at the same time.

(8,821 posts)The continued public persecution of Pussy Riot members is disgusting, brutal and disgusting. What have they done anyway: Sing some humorously sarcastic songs critical of powerful men. That is all.
These young women are already martyrs to free speech, this only makes them greater ones.

(140 posts)what the reaction would be in the USA, if a band desecrated a place of worship. Lets say a Synagog.
Would there be this kind of backlash against them?
