News to make you feel bad
Aug. 17th, 2012 09:30 pmYou know about this, I'm sure, but three members of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pussy_riot got two years in jail for a political protest. Isn't it great that there's no more Soviet Union and Russian citizens are free to express their beliefs?
Here's a letter from Billy Bragg to Pussy Riot:
There was a protest today, but I missed it. At least the world is outraged? That's something, I guess.
In South Africa, police murdered 34 striking miners, because apparently we've travelled back in time to that era of labour and race relations.
In Jerusalem, dozens of Israeli youth attacked three Palestinian kids, one of whom is now in intensive care.
It's a much smaller thing and no one got killed, but apparently it's a problem to have Asians on our money. Because Canada doesn't have a problem with racism at all.
