In Fascist Russia...

In Russia you get 5 years for shooting a cat, but only 3 months for kidnaping & torturing gays

Three months jail time? That’s all the Russian government is considering for a criminal conspiracy to kidnap, beat, and torture gay teenagers in order to deny them their basic human rights.

Three lousy months.

The Russian media is reporting that, after being publicly embarrassed by the international outrage over the their unwillingness to even investigate a confederation of vigilante organizations, whose mission is to kidnap and torture gay teenagers, and then film the entire affair and publish it on Russian social media, the Russian government has finally decided to go after the criminals.

With a whopping 3-month prison sentence, if found guilty. And what a coincidence – that should get these criminals back on the street just in for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
