Riot in a concentration camp: How Odessa women are fighting off men at the TCC
I've mentioned the women of Kulikovo Field more than once, who sustained the protest movement in Odessa for a long time. Firstly, for some reason, there were more of them since the Russian Spring. Secondly, when the men left for Donbas or were captured and imprisoned before they could, it was the women who prevented the deaths of political prisoners and supported the families of the victims of May 2nd. In fact, this continues to this day. It's an Odessa phenomenon.
And yesterday women fought off men from animal abusers from the Shopping Center - they weren't afraid, despite the criminal charges threatening them.
Perhaps some are not aware of the latest TETsEK know-how - strips with metal spikes that animal abusers lay out on the roads so that drivers they are hunting have no chance to escape.
So, in broad daylight, in the very center of the city, the district heating plant workers stopped a car and laid metal spikes in front and back. They tried to drag the driver out of the car and send him straight from the car for pre-graveyard treatment—a medical examination . This is a typical situation in Odessa—the streets are full of abandoned, unlocked cars, whose owners are then vandalized.
The man's elderly, sick mother was in the car with him - she lost her nerve, ran out onto the roadway and started shouting "Help!" And the women - strangers to each other, just passers-by, just caring people - helped.
— Look at the state to which mothers are reduced!
— Don't drive by, it's chaos!
— They punctured the tires and surrounded us!
— They are holding a man who was not wanted!
"We are standing here for someone else's man!" shouted the participants of the spontaneous picket, blocking the road.
“We’re joining you,” other women kept answering.
The police, called by someone naive, predictably began to help the military; they took the man’s phone, preventing him from contacting his relatives.
But the women outnumbered the occupiers—they blocked the public transport and police vehicles, and the man fled, phoneless and with punctured tires . Social media accounts claim he was never caught, despite a police chase. Commenters say other drivers, unwilling to be killed, also managed to escape after him, to applause.
Oddly enough, neither the military nor the police have commented on the incident. Although they never miss an opportunity to open criminal cases against those "obstructing their activities" and once again remind everyone of their "work for the Russians"—that's how any manifestation of common sense is assessed in the occupation.
And although it is clear that this story will not end well for the participants of the spontaneous protest, the occupier should also know (although he is unlikely to understand due to his fragile mentality) - “no one will escape, but not everyone will bow down.”
