Russian opposition leader Navalny doused in green liquid
« on: March 20, 2017, 12:56:35 pm »
 MOSCOW -- Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been doused in bright green liquid by an unknown assailant in the Siberian city of Barnaul.

Navalny tweeted Monday: "I will be opening a headquarters in Barnaul as if I am from the film The Mask! Cool. Even my teeth are green!" He was referring to the Hollywood film that features a superhero who wears a green mask.

The green liquid, a common Russian antiseptic that remains on skin for days, was reportedly sprayed in Navalny's face as he went to shake a man's hand.

Navalny is currently travelling around Russia opening headquarters and campaigning to stand in the 2018 presidential elections. A criminal conviction for fraud officially bars him from running, but supporters say the charges are politically motivated.

I'm surprised he hasn't become dead yet

He was convicted of fraud or corruption a few months ago though, I'm sure the charges are bogus. Even if he won; they almost have a stopgap to keep him from taking office.

Whatever else it is, it is a remarkably clear message.

We used to use a purple antiseptic spray on the farm. We often marked cows with it too.
