		<description>Dude, man up and bust a cap in his ass. Getcherself a piece, stake out his crib, and pump two in his dome when he&#039;s getting into his ride. 

Now, if that street justice is too over the top, then man up in a lawful, law-abiding way.  You, your brother, and cousin should go down to the local police station and swear out a complaint against the thugs who unlawfully imprisoned you and roughed you up. The three of you will corroborate each other&#039;s story, and at the very least, the thugs will be inconvenienced by having to defend themselves, even if it never goes to trial.

Man up!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve searched everywhere... Wikipedia, The CIA fact book, etc and I can&#039;t find anywhere that says  that &quot;slavic people think that they are above the law and can go militia style on others without any consequences.&quot; This is an important piece of information and you need to make sure it gets to the proper authorities. I don&#039;t want to wander into any Slavs and get harassed!</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t help but laugh at that last comment about the projector.  We&#039;ll love you if you come to Church or if you cut service for a weekend event.  If you have to leave service early, so be it!  Your attendance is between you and God. (Well, your spiritual father might have a comment.)   :) 

I&#039;m so sorry that happened to you!  If you make it to Hawaii, please visit our little Russian Orthodox parish. We promise to let you lean on the walls!  Just don&#039;t knock the icons off the wall!  

Please try to find a parish to attend next weekend and sing with a loud voice, &quot;Kristos Vos Krece!&quot; (sp?)</description>

And that comment about the ushers being there &quot;to prevent people from rubbing up against these walls&quot; LAWL...that sounds perverted.</description>

		<description>How very unusual. Well, I haven&#039;t been to the USA. I know churches from South Africa, France, Portugal, Germany, Spain and Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Never, did I hear of ushers, who behave like that. To be honest, it is not even clear to me what ushers of churches are. I remember men or women doing little services during mass such as helping with money collections by walking past the rows of church goers who sit inside the church. 

Anyhow, perhaps, I am not clued up any more, as I seldom go to mass lately. It has nothing to do with being less believing or church friendly. There are other private reasons, I have for not being able to attend church. 

Those ushers described sound like body guards of clubs or disco outfits. 
Their job is often to control who may go inside or to kick out drunkards or other trouble stirrers. 

Anyway, a church who employs ushers like that can&#039;t be a real church in the true sense of it. I wouldn&#039;t go there.</description>

		<description>This is very sad! Most of the Slavic church that were started in the US were persecuted in the USSR. Now in the US, it seems that those that received a little &quot;power&quot; in the community (church) are abusing it and in a way persecuting other people (mainly younger generation).

I&#039;ve heard that in once church, the ushers deal drugs and help their friends start using drugs. The ushers usually do hear nothing of the services and spend each Sunday hounding others. 

I would want to be a member of a church where I would feel welcomed and not looked upon as the person that is going to run of with their video projector.</description>
