OVER 400 ARRESTED AT NAVALNY MEMORIAL

OVER 400 DETAINED IN RUSSIA AT NAVALNY MEMORIAL

By: Derek Varsalona

Living in a Communist country must not be fun.  You have no freedom to express yourself.  400 people were detained at a makeshift memorial of Alexei Navalny.  They pinned hopes that Navalny would overthrow the Dictator Vladimir Putin in an election.  But would that election have been fair?  This is what happens in Communist countries.  There is no freedom of assembly and no free speech, even to mourn the dead.

Over the weekend, 400 people were detained at a makeshift memorial for Alexei Navalny.  This is the thing that happens in a Communist country.  I still see there are a lot of socialist Democrats who want the socialism lifestyle here in America.  These are the things that happen in socialist countries.  There is no freedom of speech or freedom of assembly.  If you go against the government you are targeted and eventually taken out.  My concern is now what happens to these protestors?  I highly doubt that they will be given a fair trial.   I am suspect to the thought that they are going to be put in a Russian Gulag and treated very harshly.  I think they are going to be treated just like Navalny. 

The mourners were at makeshift memorials for Alexei Navalny.  Making such memorials is a crime in Russia.  It is a crime since it goes against the establishment and against Putin.  It takes a lot of guts to stand up to Putin.  I am not sure what the gun laws are like in this Communist country.  But what I do know is there needs to be funding for Ukraine since the funding is not going to stop funding.  What I would like to see is the funding moved to the CIA and the CIA taking out Vladimir Putin.

A lot of people pinned their hopes on defeating Vladimir Putin.  They should not have gotten their hopes up.  The fact is that there are no free elections in Russia.  Hell, there are not even free elections in America.  

You see my friends this is what happens in a Communist nation.  The state rules as abuses its power.  If we are not careful the same thing can happen in America.  As always comments accepted.
