High Dudgeon

I'm confused. A group of women tresspass in a Russian Orthodox cathedral, disrupt whatever might have been going on at the time and are arrested.

Or a group of political activists tresspass in a Russian Orthodox cathedral, disrupt whatever might have been going on at the time sing (I suppose) disparaging things about Vladimir Putin and are arrested.

And the entire Leftist world erupts in protest and defense of the hooligans.

But are quiet about the suppression of just about every other protest or suppression taking place elsewhere in Russia, China, the Dar Al-Salaam etc.

Are they posturing in defense of political speech from a dictatorial thug or are they supporting the desecration of a Christian holy place?

I suspect the latter.
