The clouds of gas appeared to do little to discourage the crowd. Police earlier Thursday turned back an attempt by the crowd to storm the building, then pushed back another surge about two hours later.The unrest was sparked by the appearance Thursday of Russian legislator Sergei Gavrilov in the building as part of an assembly of legislators from Orthodox Christian countries.
Gavrilov has supported support for independence for the Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, over which Georgia lost control in a 2008 war with Russia. He is also a supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a figure despised by many Georgians. Georgia and Russia broke diplomatic relations after the war and although steps have been made to restore normal relations, animosity toward Russia is strong and many Georgians resent any sort of official visit by Russians.
The visit of the Russian delegation of the Orthodox assembly already had prompted complaints, but the anger turned into a street protest after Gavrilov sat in the chair of the Georgian parliament speaker during a session of the assembly.
So why can't we do that here? Feel it coming if we have no damn ImpeachmentInquiryNOW
Russian senator decided that he is allowed to sit at parliament speaker's chair..but he forgot that his country has occupied 20% of Georgia..Russia is not welcome at any neighbor country..
This is what happens time after time after time. maybe a sobering note for Putin, MBS and the Koch Brothers. People won't tolerate the growing reversals of their freedoms.
We have to realize that this human unrest is global. It’s a symptom of frustration at governments for being oppressive. It’s also a symptom of disparity of wealth. Hang on to your seats people, we are heading into a period of great unrest.
Darn...was hoping it said Georgia capital of Atlanta
Oh, it's not the state of Georgia. OK.

Police officer fired after failing to locate kidnapped girl, 8, in room he searchedOfficer Richardson Wolfe, of Forest Hill, Tex., was placed on indefinite suspension — the civil service equivalent of termination — for mishandling the case. Would be nice if you idiots actually posted whole stories. It seems like you just hear about something and immediately write an article without even looking into what the facts are. It’s really pathetic. Journalist just don’t know how to do their jobs anymore.
