Thread: Sochi Olympics and the Law against Gays in Russia +

According to the media, these notices were placed on numerous buildings across the city of Rostov-Na-Donu by prankers and contain random numbers of deviants found. The phone numbers mentioned in the notice belong to the police and one of the city goverment officials.
The city's administration has claimed that they have never issued such notices, which is believable because the goverment notices would at least have the city herald on them. To those who have found such notices on their houses it was recommended to report it to the police.

So, I presume this arrogant provocation was done by the prankers who intended to worsen the reputation of our country (not for the first time, actually) and maybe even belonged to an LGBT organization themselves.

I am relieved to hear it is not a government initiative. It's still a terrible thing, and extremely malicious, but at least it's only an isolated group of troublemakers and not the police themselves. )))

There have certainly been some cases of that in the US -- self-described "LGBT activists" who write graffiti like Kill the faggots! on their own cars, then call the police to report a homophobic crime.

Maybe they got irritated with HD bikers at some point?
