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.

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.

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.

… 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.

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.

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 them in her ' Pussy Galore and her Abrocats ' circus act ! It wouldn't be such an oddjob for them.

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.

Wait, maybe I don't want your drugs - they make you paranoid. Christian persecution complex paranoid.
