Pussy Riot Free Speech vs. Free Religion
February of 2012 members of Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist
punk-rock group in Moscow disrupted services at a Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Four members of the group performed at the
Cathedral of Christ the Saviour disrupting services.
They did this to protest Russia’s President Vladimir Putin (supposedly
a “former” communist and KGB). The four
were arrested and this past week sentenced to two years in prison for their
disrespectful stupidity and charged with hooliganism.
Two years for public stupidity where no damage was done, nor
was anyone hurt is rather excessive. They
should have been given “time served” and assessed monetary restitution.
Fellow YouTuber and good friend “ColonelRichardHunter”
posted videos defending these punk-rock girls their freedom of speech. Yes freedom of speech is an issue here,
however so is the issue of freedom to worship, religion.
When these ladies exercised their freedom of speech they deprived
others their religious freedom, freedom to worship. These are freedoms not given by governments,
but as American Republican Vice President Paul Ryan said,
“Our rights come from nature and God, not from government.”
Here is what the punk rock group did in the church:
