Today, the Deputies of the LNR Peoples Soviet approved a new Criminal Code that excludes the death penalty. During discussion of the bill, deputies passed an amendment that excludes using the death penalty in the LNR. Konstantin Matsyurak, Chairman of the LNR Peoples Soviet Committee on State Security and Defence, Law Enforcement, Judicial System, Rule of Law, and Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, told us, “The Criminal Code provides for the total confiscation of property and life imprisonment. Today, enough people die in the war. In addition, we’re moving towards entering the Eurasian Economic Union, so we need to be as close as possible to norms found in Russian legislation and codes”. The new LNR Criminal Code states, “Life imprisonment is possible for the most serious crimes encroaching on life itself, as well as for especially serious crimes against public health and morality, public security, and sexual abuse of minors under 14-years-old. Women, juvenile criminals (under 18-years-old), and men over 65-years-old are exempt from life sentences”.

The Genprokuratura reclassified the Kerch terakt from terrorism to murder. That is, it views it more as a criminal matter than a terrorist incident. Trust me, it doesn’t mean that the incident wasn’t momentous or that there wasn’t a serious loss of life. It simply means that the preponderance of the evidence points to a criminal rather than a terrorist action. It doesn’t lessen the tragedy one little bit, however, it does change the complexion of the response. I’ll say this, though… the security at the Kerch Bridge just went up a notch. NATO is boasting that it’s going to hold exercises in the Sea of Azov. To do so means crossing the Kerch Strait, which is in Russian territorial waters. I do hope that the boastful and feral Anglos rethink this one…
Just one last thing… the Galician Uniates and schismos are all agog with glee on the web over this tragic event. It tells you much about them and their American paymasters, doesn’t it?
