(RT) – A Russian politician who recently advocated the shooting of animal rights activists has now said that paratroopers should be sent to round up LGBT people and flog them in public squares.
Alexander Mikhaylov, a deputy in the Legislative Assembly of Zabaykalsky Krai, in Russia’s Far East, made the comments in an interview with news site Podyom on Tuesday. The lawmaker, who leads his statehouse’s Ethics Commission, said that he thinks the military should go after both gays and pedophiles to punish them.

“We need paratroopers to seize f**gots and pedophiles,” he stated. “So they can take the f**gots to the square to get whipped by Cossacks.” He claimed that “in Russia butts are made for educational purposes, not lovemaking. And pedophiles – just line them up and shoot them. I hate them.”
