Pussy Riot galore at Cambridge PD as anti-Putin protester arrested at Harvard again
By adamg on Tue, 09/16/2014 - 1:13pm
Wicked Local Cambridge reports on the second arrest of Roman Torgovitsky for trespassing related to his protests against Vladimir Putin, but mostly on how two Pussy Riot members at Harvard for a discussion on Russian politics went down to CPD with some other protesters to insist on his release - they actually got to the station before Torgovitsky.

Why was he arrested?
Let me know so that I may frame my rhetoric around either "bored suburban pigs" or "go back to Russia, you foreign criminal scumbag."
He
literally asked to be arrested. He told the campus police he was trespassing, as he was bared from being on school grounds because of a prior arrest.
Banned by Harvard
... due to a previous protest.
So a violinist came to play
So a violinist came to play and this guy seriously thought he would be receptive in engaging in a political dialogue by jumping on stage and interrupting his performance. Class act.
Its
In your face progressive activism. Scream the loudest, and call people who disagree with you names.
poor tactic, but
… I can't blame him for wanting to do anything he can to tip the scales against Putin. He just needs to come up with better ways of doing it.
oh please
CriMeA river...
Without mentioning any names...
I've seen that tactic work here many a time.
We don't want him and his
We don't want him and his friends in Russia. You can keep him!
Really?
Why in the world would Harvard invite those worthless attention whores? Simmons or Emerson, maybe, but Harvard? Thea's like having Peaches over to discuss American politics, except that one actually has some talent, unlike those clowns.
thank you for not referring
thank you for not referring to them as a band
[insert pussy pun here]
Actually they're no longer members of Pussy Riot, the musical-collective-whatever-they-want-to-call-it, as I understand it. I think I read that the remaining members of that group have sort of disowned them.
Maybe Pussy Galore can use
Maybe Pussy Galore can use them in her ' Pussy Galore and her Abrocats ' circus act ! It wouldn't be such an oddjob for them.
I love you.
I love you.
Give you a thumbs up!
...or maybe a gold FINGAAAHHHHH!
It's like Russia is Boston in the early 70s
..when people were wondering about the Plasmatics. Band or Shtick?
Or maybe Shtick Band like Kiss or Band Shtick like Spinal Tap only with creepy Putin scowling at it all while bare chested on a horse to wow the rubes.
Feel good story
Pussy Riot, Harvard, protests, arrest....Occupy Cambridge PD .... there's a bad comedy in there somewhere.
It's called "the school year.
It's called "the school year." Enjoy retread sequels annually
More anti Christian bs from Harvard
If they broke into a mosque or a Jewish temp,e it would not be as well recieved but they broke into an Orthodox Christian church so they are special
You are right.
This is all about Christianity vs. liberals.
Not quite
That was more along the lines of a bunch of occutards pissing on the Vietnam wall or the Lincoln memorial. No real message, just vandalism, disrespect and attention whoring.
Can I haz your drugs too?
Seriously - arresting someone = welcome?
What kind of crack you got?
Wait, maybe I don't want your drugs - they make you paranoid. Christian persecution complex paranoid.
Try Belladonna if you have no fears
..about talking to people who've been dead for years.
Bonus points if you know the reference.
