I don't believe all were thrown in jail. Are they still playing? Is the group intact? I did not think so. I had heard some played at the Sochi Winter Olympics. But found that too hard to believe and did not hear any confirming information.

I suspect they are only in existence in Western press discussion. Do not even know how well they are known in Russia - or still exist.

Only three went to jail in August of 2012. One was pardoned in the October and the other two served 21 months. Pussy Riot said in those two were out, but they performed with the group at the olympics. The group is still active,

When was the last time you got the impression that tw liked you; or, valued your opinion and wasn't just feigning interest so you'd continue to listen to his rhetoric [rhetorical]? Tw is just a propagandist abusing this venue. Infantile tw is a riot.

I was perusing the MSN homepage for news stories and an article about the military organization I served in shows up. It originally comes from Business Insider. It looks like it could be a recruiting vehicle; but, doesn't say it's sponsored or a paid advertisement. The military has been complaining about being stretched too thin and I'm wondering if this article was somehow finagled.

Many articles about my old organization have been written before; but, the timing is awkward and writing suspicious on this one. It certainly struck me as weird to find it in with the news articles. See what you think:

It's certainly a complimentary fluff piece, possibly the Army wanted it because all the press the SEALs have been getting the last couple years.
But I doubt they had to pay him just ask a favor, with all his military connections through Duffel Blog and wtf,over.
On the other hand he may be a crook, you know, living in San Clemente and all.

Man Gets Home Confinement After Robbing Bank to Get Away from Wife

Lawrence John Ripple, who wanted to go to prison to get away from his wife, has instead been sentenced to six months home confinement and 50 hours of community service for bank robbery on Tuesday, said federal prosecutors.

The 71-year-old Ripple pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery in January, and originally faced 37 months in prison.

LawNewz.com readers might remember his name. We previously wrote about him and the Sept. 2., 2016, robbery. The FBI said he walked into a bank, and gave the teller a note: “I have a gun give me your cash.” Ripple got $2,924 for the effort, but instead of running, he stayed, and gave himself up to authorities.

Why did the would-be bank robber do it? FBI Special Agent Eric Beltz said that Ripple told investigators his motive: the Ripple marriage hit a rough spot.

“During the post Miranda interview, Ripple relayed that he and his wife had an argument at home and Ripple no longer wanted to be in the situation. Ripple wrote out his demand note in front of his wife Remedios Ripple and told her he’d rather be in jail than at home. Ripple then walked to the bank and robbed it.”

How do you thank the firefighters who saved eighteen of your piglets, and two sows, from the blaze?

Sausages. Made from the pigs you saved.
