Garry Kasparov detained after Pussy Riot trial

[sje]

Perhaps Gary can bail himself out of jail with his appearance money left over from the last Deep Blue match.

While I have some sympathy for the Pussy Riot band and their freedom of speech, the actions of some of their supporters is rather less endearing.

Chopping down a public monument to the war dead just because it is a crucifix does not win many friends, even when done bare breasted.

There is an active thread about this in CTF
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44817

Both threads are growing, so it is better to have one, and I think it is better if we all continue in that thread.

I have to respectfully disagree! The fact that they did it bare breasted makes it very OK for me. Had they done it with their tops on I would have accepted throwing them to the wolves!

i Agree
the girl who was fully clothed during the act should get life with no hope for parole
the Bare breasted girl..just issued a warning and let go

well i'm not a lawyer, but he did resist arrest, that's obvious.

On the other hand you would expect from the police to tell
him why he was arrested, not in Russia apparently .

it obviously was politically motivated, mr gk was simply
giving an interview and apparently got too much attention.

well dragging him into a police bus certainly didnt diminish
the attention; so this isnt really helping Putins cause obviously

Yes, I sent a hint before, but the thread kept growing. I then lock the thread. There are discussions about it in CTF already, so everybody can join it there.
