CNN: Russian riot police tell protesters to disperse in Moscow

[Wicked Blue]

From CNN's Anna Chernova and Nic Robertson

Russian riot police are urging protesters to leave Pushkinskaya Square in Moscow, saying over loudspeakers that the “[protest] action is unauthorized.”

CNN’s Nic Robertson and team on the ground have witnessed people being detained by police. Some are carrying signs with messages, including multiple signs saying “no to war.”

Russian authorities on Thursday warned citizens that participating in anti-war protests could lead to prosecution and criminal charges.

1. Amazing that they're out there protesting, at all.

I hope our reasonable, sane, slim majority can somehow bolster the Russian pacifists.

Activist Dmitry Skurikhin staged a single-person picket against the war with Ukraine in St. Petersburg on February 24. His sign reads: Stop, Fascist Bastard, Go Back. The sign in the back says: Peace To Ukraine, Freedom To Russia.

3. But, but, their 1st Amendment Rights? And they're White and Christian, per MAGAs...

if I need to add.
So, will the same people screaming about how much of a tyrant Trudeau is concerning conservative truckers messing with the regional economy during their "protest" scream as loudly about Putin cracking down on people just holding signs in a public square, not blocking businesses, homes, or government structures?
