Comments on: Serb Authorities Cancel Belgrade Pride http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2011/10/01/37541 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sat, 25 May 2013 18:14:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Tom in Lazybrook http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2011/10/01/37541/comment-page-1#comment-107605 Tom in Lazybrook Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:29:16 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=37541#comment-107605 The police aligned themselves with Dveri, an anti-Gay organization dedicated to the banning of all human rights for Gay Serbians. The Interior Minister is a Milosevic supporter (remember Srebrenica and Kosovo) who appears to be unwilling to do their jobs. The justice ministry appears to also be involved with nullification as no extremists have been jailed for violence or threats of violence against Gay people. The only person convicted of extremism after last year's violence, Obradovic, is somehow still outside of prison (he was sentenced to 2 years in jail, but he hasn't seen the inside of a jail cell yet, I doubt he ever will) and able to claim the SUPPORT for his anti-Gay protests from Serbian Orthodox Priests. Anti-Gay protesters are on the streets of Belgrade today. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to get jail terms. The ban is only for Gay people. It isn't for Orthodox anti-Gays or Partizan football thugs. Or for Dveri. Or for Nasi 1389. Or for Obraz. Serbia. 1) No freedom of speech 2) No freedom of petition 3) No freedom of assembly 4) No freedom of association 5) No freedom of expression 6) A captial overrun with violent thugs who the police either will not or cannot control. In short, a failed state. And a state where the Orthodox Church is claimed as a supporter by violent thugs (Obradovic) without correction/sanction by Patriarch Irinij.

The only person convicted of extremism after last year’s violence, Obradovic, is somehow still outside of prison (he was sentenced to 2 years in jail, but he hasn’t seen the inside of a jail cell yet, I doubt he ever will) and able to claim the SUPPORT for his anti-Gay protests from Serbian Orthodox Priests.

Anti-Gay protesters are on the streets of Belgrade today. Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to get jail terms. The ban is only for Gay people. It isn’t for Orthodox anti-Gays or Partizan football thugs. Or for Dveri. Or for Nasi 1389. Or for Obraz.

Serbia.

1) No freedom of speech
2) No freedom of petition
3) No freedom of assembly
4) No freedom of association
5) No freedom of expression
6) A captial overrun with violent thugs who the police either will not or cannot control.

In short, a failed state. And a state where the Orthodox Church is claimed as a supporter by violent thugs (Obradovic) without correction/sanction by Patriarch Irinij.

Then again, chicken pox is more pleasant than the Serbian skinheads (then again syphilis probably is too).
