Late Thursday, the SKP reported on its website that cops arrested seven participants of this month’s nationalist Russian March on suspicion of brutally murdering an Uzbek man in St Petersburg after the rally. The group comprised six teenagers led by a 30-year-old local man, Andrei Kosnikov. Fontanka.ru posted that Kosnikov… who’d changed his first name to Andrei from Jemal… confessed to leading the vicious attack on the migrant. The thugs stabbed and beat the 50-year-old Uzbek construction worker to death on a street in the city’s southeast.
The gang members, who Fontanka.ru said identified themselves by white shoelaces on their canvas shoes… a common symbol among skinhead groups… were returning from the Russian March, an annual gathering of the extreme right held across dozens of cities on 4 November. According to the organizers, about 1,000 nationalists rallied in St Petersburg this year. Media sources said that a separate group of rally-goers beat up Asian-looking metro passengers in the city that night, a type of attack known as the “white carriage”. Currently, the “white shoelaces” gang members are under investigation for murder, which could land the two over-18 perps in prison for up to 20 years. Attacks and killings like those attributed to the youth gang were common in Russia… especially, in St Petersburg, Russia’s second city… in the mid-2000s, but police cracked down on skinhead gangs in recent years.

Here’s a colloquy between a Native American and me:
******
I don’t know which form of Liberal I despise more, “conservative” Liberals or “liberal” Liberals. There are no REAL down n’ dirty CONSERVATIVES in the USA… all major American political trends today are just different takes on Classical Liberalism (actually, “conservatism” is MORE Liberal than “liberalism”… go figure). Liberalism rejects all forms of hierarchy and tradition, and “conservatives” despise traditional order MORE than “liberals” do (as one sees in the countless towns devastated by “conservative” investors pulling out for “greener pastures”). Don’t forget, single-payer healthcare was the brainchild of Otto von Bismarck… a conservative Conservative, if there ever was such.
Leftists are NOT Liberals. Thank God for that!
