Moscow, Derscon

People started forming up on main street. At high noon, there were fifty of them. At one, there were a hundred fifty. When three o' clock came around, there were five hundred people assembled on main street, looking down at the old Kremlin Fortress, now acting as the city government complex. Suddenly, they all formed up in a block and unraveled rainbow banners, signs with two male symbols interlocked, signs with two female symbols interlocked, and the rainbow triangles. A few signs with the words "equal rights" and "Christianity" with a big red circle around it and a red slash through it were also there. They were chanting something, but it couldn't be made out.


The mayor, in his office, looked down at the protestors in discust. He turned to his secretary. "Get me the local SS General."

"Yessir." A few minutes later, his phone rang.

"Afternoon, mayor," the SS General said. "What's up?"

"Turn on your television." By that time, INN, NBC, and MNC set up cameras to send the protest out across the nation and Greater Prussia -- possibly further -- live. The mayor heard the SS General click on his TV and a grunt.

"I see. Disband?"

"Arrest them all. It's an illegal in more than one way."

"Yessir."

Thirty minutes later, when they managed to get within one hundred meters of the City Hall, A battalion of SS soldiers formed a perimeter around the Old Kremlin, backed with M3 Bradley's. Empty APCs were there to carry away the protestors. A second Battalion was closing in around the protestors -- all on live TV. The Regimental Commander got on a loud speaker.

You are all under arrest! Put down your banners and signs and walk with
your hands up to the nearest Armored Personnel Carrier. Do not resist, and we
will not harm you.

In response, the protestors started throwing rocks at the SS soldiers. One rock hit a corporal in the eye, and in response, the SS soldier took his G36 and smacked the homosexual in the face with the butt of his rifle. Ten other protestors formed around the SS soldier and disarmed him taking the rifle, and beating the corporal down.

At that point, his Lieutenant ordered his platoon to open fire.

The first bursts of automatic fire from the G36 of the Lieutenant's rifle nailed the protestor with the gun in the head, turning it into mush. The other soldiers in the group were shooting at those that were beating down on the corporal. One lesbian picked up the G36 from the now dead corporal and fired at the Regimental Commander, hitting him in the shoulder.

When the Panzer Batallion saw that, they turned their guns on their Bradley's on the crowd and slaughtered at least one hundred protestors. Fifty homosexual protestors were arrested and thrown into APCs, which were hauled off to Lefortovo Prison, the Ministry of State Security-operated prison. The SS soldiers on the sides also opened fire on the protestors. When the last round of gunfire was shot, four hundred homosexual protestors lay dead in the streets, fifty seriously wounded, and fifty arrested.



All broadcasted live on international television.


The TV cameras were still on sight five hours later, when SS vans pulled up to the sight again. The fifty protestors that were arrested were thrown out, and under SS guard, were forced to clean up the mess.

We appauld the Dersconis for their stance against this most wretched act. We are glad that our fellow Prussians have not fallen to the hands of liberalism.

Spanigland are appaled and disgusted at this horrible, homophobic and brutish display of power by the authorities of Derscon and senior officials towards this peaceful, and realitively small, protest by the homosexual citizens of Derscon.
We are disgusted.
That is all.

We wish to remind you that the homosexuals attacked first, throwing rocks.

The Free Land of Wext, while a new nation, is appalled at the grotesque behavior of the rulers of Derscon for their vile treatment of homosexuals. Furthermore, we cordially invite all homosexual peoples facing oppression in Derscon to permanatly relocate to Wext, where civil liberties are many.

When did this happen?

Oh, and btw, Cherry Ridge, they may have started the physical violence, but if they hadn't, the troops would have opened fire anyway. If the troops hadn't been so actively aggressive, the homosexuals may never have reacted in a violent manner. I'm not saying it's the gay peoples' faults, far from it, as they were provoked by open hostility.

OOC: Actually, you are incorrect. The SS soldiers were mostly there for intimidation purposes, hopefully getting them to surrender without violence. It didn't work, though. The protestors were the first to start violence by throwing rocks at SS soldiers, and attacking one, which defended itself. Most of the SS soldiers were acually equipped with riot-control non-lethal weaponry, but they switched to lethal after the Regimental Commander was shot in the shoulder. THose fifty that were arrested were taken down with the non-lethal weaponry.

Just an Out-of-Character clarification of what happened.

In an offical statement today, HRH "Screaming" Lord Sutch, King of Pablicosta has announced his dissaproval of the action taken to disperse the protestors. However, HRH did accept that The government of Derscon do have the right to do what they like within their own borders. Although the measures used were extreme from His viewpoint, others may have their own views on 'Crowd Control'.
So, it is with this in mind that HRH wishes to make a proposal to the Derscon Government. We are willing to provide transportation for all those Homosexuals (and any other group who the Derscon people do not want) who wish to relocate to the Land of Pablicosta, where they can enjoy a life beyond Persicution.
We await your responce eagerly.

HRH, Screaming Lord Sutch.

OOC: I understand that armed forces have every right to take arms against the group who attacked the Soldier, and the woman who fired a shot. However, that makes 12 people by my count, and your death toll stands at 400.

The Republic of Sethesh is HIGHLY appalled by this atrocity. It is the responsibility of the state to protect its citizens regardless of sexuality, which is not a voluntary lifestyle, be you straight or gay or bisexual. We view this as a breach of basic Social Contract on the part of Derscon's Government.

This is a breach of human rights and state genocide by almost all decent peoples measurements

Moscow, Derscon

Thirty closet-homosexuals, who were all ex-Marines before Derscon figured out a way to detect homosexuality through genetic testing, flew in from Bonn, Derscon, to Moscow, with M16s in their luggage (firearms are legal in Derscon). They were aware that they were on a suicide mission, but all the better.

They landed in Moscow National Airport, went through airport security, and took their luggage with them to the river. They took their gun cases in their left hand, and threw their luggage over the side of the bridge.

The thirty men came around to Main Street from different directions. When they came to the gates of the Old Kremlin, two SS guards stopped them.

"You are not allowed passed." They shrugged and turned around to where the fifty homosexuals were still cleaning up the mess, with the cameras still faced at them. Twenty SS soldiers were watching over them.

AT that time, they opened their gun case, pulled out their M16s, and fired at the SS soldiers. Ten dropped, and ten others went behind trees. Two of the terrorists turned around to shoot the guards at the gates, but were taken down by a sniper in one of the Kremlin bell towers. Twenty of the terrorists charged up to the ten SS soldiers overseeing the cleanup and killed them, but lost five of their own in the process.

At that point, alarms were going off all over the Kremlin. The front gates opened and a Company of SS soldiers rushed out, supported by two M3 Bradley's. (Reminder: Reporters are still on the scene) THe SS company opened fire on the terrorists, as did the Bradley's. Ten other SS soldiers went down in the firefight, but the terrorists were turned into mush and pulp by the 40mm fire from the Bradley.

Statement from the Moscow Mayor

As they were not Christian, they were not citizens, hence not subject to the protection of Dersconi Law. Also, these things are not people, they are degenerate SCUM -- a blemish on the human race -- that need to be wiped clean.

Statement from Allian Command

Initial reports have informed Allian command, that a Allian citizen has been injured from Derscon SS soldiers.

As far as we know, has still not been moved to a hospital by Derscon paramedics, and is turning to a critical state.

The Male Allian citizen was not in the terrorist faction, nor the Gay Pride March, he is a reported for the Wa Network in world wide allies.

Statement from the Mayor

In the Dersconi Law Code, one must be a Christian in order to be a citizen of Derscon. One may be a non-citizen and live in Derscon. We do not care what you think "citizen" means.

And I do not care what your twisted "logic" of humanity is. You have been corrupted by Satan; be gone with you.

Message from Pschycotic Pschycos Central Command Department:

While, as always, we do not approve of the way things were handled (we like the midnight dissapearance route), we do support the Dersconi government with its actions as it followed reactionary measures for self-defense. Also, our own shock troopers are on standby should you request and/or need them.

The Dragons Lair, Secret Hiding Place of The Saints of The 11th Hour

35 men, all ex-Spec ops, or Ex-Marines, and all devout Christians, borded the X-11 jet bound for Moscow form their secret runway at the Dragons Lair. The runway was mainly underground, and could only be seen at the very end in the minutes before take off. Exhaust fumes rose through the venting system behind the jet and it began to tear down the extended runway and out the spout, flying high into the air and tremendous Speed. The 11th Hour saints, had begun their mission and would arrive in Moscow within the hour.

Statement from Schutzstaffel Command, Loire Valley, Derscon

Your allegations are baseless. Only Greater Prussian, Hattian, and Corneliuian citizens, plus employees of the supercorporation Northrop-Grumman, are allowed within Dersconi borders. As your nation is none of these are neither, none of your citizens could have legally entered Derscon, nevertheless been attacked by the domestic police. Unless, of course, the citizen entered the country illegally, in which case he will be arrested and executed come morning.

We do not want this incident to turn into an international affair, it is un-necessary. Although wwa does not condone what you are doing, in your borders you have a right to do so.

If the citizen is found, then we wish to have him transported to an airport, where we can pick him up in a medical plane.

Thank you for your co-operation.

- Fyodor Serraillier - Allian Command.

This alleged citizen of yours entered Derscon illegally, and is therefore subject to its alien laws. The fault lies on this citizen and your government for not posting warnings. Derscon has every right to follow through with its laws.

We are sickened by your attitude.

The group arrived in Derscon Airport, with only one thing on their minds. Janus had informed them of the attrocity which had occured in Dercson that day, and had given them the oportunity to serve their purpose.

As they passed through customs they flashed passes, showing them as dignitaries of the Northrop-Grunman. The group left the airport and went on their way to the prison where Janus had informed them the Homosexual Protestors were being kept...

OOC: IGNORED!

Your flight would have been checked en route -- you cannot enter Dersconi air space without permission, or you'll be shot down. Dersconi's are untrusting to foreigners. We would have checked your flight against the incoming air traffic at NMCC, and found that there was no scheduled inbound flight.

Nice try, though, I'll give you that much.

Statement from Schutzstaffel Command, Loire Valley, Derscon

As the citizen was an illegal, he will be subject to Dersconi laws covering this procedure. At the moment, he is in the Ministry of State Security custody at Lefortovo prison in Moscow.

He is being placed under arrest, and as he is an illegal, he is not subject to the right to trial by jury. If he checks out to be the citizen you claim he is, he will NOT be returned until he has been punished -- in most cases this is execution.

It was his own fault -- he should not have snuck in.

Commander of the Dersconi Schutzstaffel

We are sickened by your attitude.

Statement from the Mayor

I don't care what you think.

Lefortovo Prison

The fifty homosexuals, now back from cleaning up, were herded down into the sixth basement level. They were thrown into a small room, where the floor was made of grating.

Suddenly, the grating dropped out from underneath them, and they fell down a slippery tube about two stories into a second room. There was nothing special about it.

Until that is, the walls started closing in on them.

The homosexuals bunched together, to avoid the walls, but that obviously did nothing. It took five minutes for the walls to finally touch any of them. Another five minutes and all that was left of the fifty homosexuals was dust and blood.

At that point, the walls retracted (much faster than they closed), and sprinklers came out of the roof and rinsed the place down as the floor opened up again to dump the "remains" into the furnace, to be burned to ash along with all of the classified documents for the day.


On the first basement level, the World wide allies citizen was taken out of his cell, and brought up to the seventh floor, where he was greeted by the "warden," who was actually the Deputy Director of the Second Chief Directorate of the MSS.

"You have been sentenced to death for illegally entering Derscon," the Deputy Director said. He pushed over a pen, a piece of paper, and an envelope.

"Now, you may appeal directly to the Czar to turn this punishment over, if you wish. If you do, sit down, and write the letter." The World wide allies citizen did this, with shaky hands, and then signed and sealed the letter in the envelope. The DD-2CD nodded and took the envelope from him.

"I will deliver this letter to His Majesty. Take him back to his cell," he said, motioning to the guards. THey nodded and led the newly-cuffed World wide allies' citizen back down to the first basement level, entered his cell, and when he stepped in, the guard pulled out a pistol and shot the World wide allies citizen in the back of the head -- three times.

Up at the warden's office, the DD(2) took the letter and threw it into the memory hole, where it went into the furnace. He then called Reinhard.

Reinhard? This is Lefortovo. The spy is dead.

Oh? Excellent. Thank you.

Anytime.

OOC: World wide allies, you need to know this. There is no way you could know he's dead until we make a press release.

Old Kremlin Fortress: Moscow, Derscon

Mayor Alexandr Ivanovich Gogol was getting a little frusterated with all the foreign responses to the legal action that was taken.

"For God's sake," Alexandr said to the SS General in charge of the defense of Moscow. "These people are ignorant. They are blinded by their feel-good liberalism and paganism. They think the whole damn world should be in their view. Well FUCK them!" He shouted. But then he chuckled.

"I find it amusing though," he continued. "That they think mere expressions of 'outrage' are going to to anything. Look at this one!" he said, pointing to a dispach. "Claiming we have a right to do what we want. That is fear speaking," the mayor said, smirking. The SS general nodded.

"You are correct, mayor. Not a single action has been taken against us -- as if they think mere words will make us fall in line with their pagan 'beliefs'."

Written Letter to Fyodor Serraillier

Fyodor Serraillier,

The citizen in question has been found by MSS counterintelligence personnel. After being interrogated, it was confirmed that he entered the nation illegally. He was executed at noon yesterday for espionage. The body will be shipped back via cargo plane to your nation upon your confirmation and permission to enter your airspace. If this is not given within forty-eight hours, the body will be cremated and the ashes discarded into the ocean.

I wish to make a few things clear. First off, no WWA aircraft will enter Dersconi airspace without permission, or it will be shot down. This is normal procedure for all aircraft, except those that are property of Dersconi allies. Also, if another citizen enters Derscon illegally, he will also be executed, but you will not recieve the body back.

Warn your citizens of our laws, next time.

Kremlin Palace: Rekjyavich Andropov Military City, Derscon

"God, this is not something I'd like to see the day before my wedding," Czar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV said to himself. Reinhard nodded.

"I understand, Your Majesty, but this could have global reprecussions." Sergey Nikolayevich Golovko, the Minister of State Security, scoffed.

"Reinhard, you are too cautious. These people have not threatened us in any way. There is no reprecussions to speak of." The Czar nodded.

"That is correct, Golovko, but it is still not something I'd like to see the day before my wedding." Sergey nodded.

"Understandable." Reinhard then spoke up.

"Of course, sir, this is not something anyone wants to see, unless you are Hitler, or that goddamned Christonazi mayor in Moscow. But," he continued. "Everything that happened was actually in full accordance of the law. They are not Christian, hence not subject to any of the protections given to the people by Dersconi law.

"Second, they were homosexuals. As homosexuality is a crime under the Apostic/Heresey laws, it is punishable by death, which is what they all recieved."

"What about trial by jury?" the Czar asked. The Reichsfürher dismissed it with a wave of the hand.

"They are not citizens, hence not granted that right." THe Czar nodded and pressed a button on his speaker phone.

"Yes, Alexei?" Foreign Minister Count Franz von Papen was in the Czar's Inner Circle, hence could address him by his first name.

"Franz, prepare a statement about this."

"What do you want me to say?"

"Say that everything that happened is okay'd by the Federal Government, and say that we ain't apologizing. Reichsfürher Heydrich can brief you on legal matters, if need be."

"I'll get to that, Alexei. Send the Reichsfürher over, will ya?" The Czar looked up at Reinhard and the Reichsfürher nodded.

"I'll be right over, sir."
=================================
Official Statement from the Dersconi Foreign Ministry

As you know, two days ago there was a gay pride protest on Moscow's main street, and throughout the events, the SS soldiers opened fire on them, killing the most of them. I would like to explain exactly what happened, and clear a few things up.

First off, the protest was illegal, as permission to protest was not granted by the city council, so all were to be arrested and housed in the city prison. When the SS Regimental Commander told them of this, they began throwing rocks at the SS soldiers assigned to that duty. A group of five protestors began focusing their rock-throwing on a young corporal, who defended himself. When this occured, five homosexuals began assaulting the SS soldier, stripping him of his rifle.

At that point, there was imminent danger to the SS soldiers, so the lieutenant, following proper procedure, opened fire with lethal force on the five attackers. That was all that was supposed to happen, but one took a rifle and shot at the regimental commander, who eventually died in the hospital. That is when the SS opened fire on the crowd, and had every right to do so, as it was now a violent uprising, and no longer a peaceful protest. Fifty were arrested, and the rest died at the scene. These fifty were sent to Lefortovo Prison, where they were eventually executed.

Now, after extensive legal examination, the Czar has come to the conclusion, with the help of his Ministers, that this was entirely within the law. First off, none of the protestors were Dersconi citizens as they were not Christian, hence they are not subject to the rights of a citizen, one of these being trial by jury. Also, homosexuality is a capital crime under the Apostic/Heresey laws put in place by the late Czar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov I, and was and still is punishable by death. The protestors suffered a fate they would have gotten anyway.

To conclude, the Czar, nor the mayor, nor the Schutzstaffel does not offer any apology for the action taken two days ago.

Good day.

Statement from the Office of the Vice Chairman of the Northrop-Grumman Corporation

The Corporation supports the actions of the Dersconi government in dealing with this matter.

After careful examination of the live news report, we have concluded this: The protesters were given the option to surrender peacefully and not be harmed. They instead chose to lash out against the soldiers and faced the consequences of their actions. Had the soldiers not taken the necessary steps to defend themselves, the protesters, now turned terrorists, might have taken the lives of countless innocent citizens nearby. Therefore, we believe that the use of force was in fact imperative to ensure the protection of the citizens and soldiers.

We also extend our sympathies to the families of the brave soldiers who had died in the line of duty. They made the greatest sacrifice to ensure the protection of their fellow soldiers, the populace, the laws, and their country.

Romanovsgrad, Derscon

Nicholas Romanov, the mayor of Romanovsgrad, just got off the phone with the mayor of Moscow when he turned to the SS General commanding the SS in this city.

"That was Moscow. They say their SS Investigative Divisions found lists of addresses of fellow homosexuals in Romanovsgrad. Looks like a 'Gay Pride' Rally is going to be held here, too." Nicholas' fax machine started whirling, and thirty seconds later, a five page list of all of the homosexuals on the list found in Moscow was in the mayors -- and now the SS General's -- hands.

"You know what to do," the Romanov said. "Get rid of them. Quitely or not, I do not care, but get rid of them." The SS General stood up and saluted.

"Yessir."
===================
635 Iesus Drive

The apartment building at 635 Iesus Drive was listed as a homosexual safehouse. It was owned by a homosexual, evidentally, and weapons are stored there -- illegally. Derscon has the most lax gun laws in Greater Prussia, but if you are not a citizen, you may not touch a gun. As homosexuals are not citizens, they can't own them. Too bad.

The SS officers of the Third Shock Troopers blew the main door down with a breaching charged and rushed inside after tossing two concussion grenades inside, stunning the desk clerk, who was arrested.

First Platoon rushed down into the basement to the hidden arms cashe. Four armed men were there, and after hearing the explosions upstairs, were rushing up when they ran into First Platoon. The following could only be described from the Shock Trooper's point of view as shooting fish in a barrel.

After the four now disarmed homosexuals were killed, First Platoon kicked down the door to the cellar and found crates and crates and crates and crates ... etc, etc ... full of weapons, ammunition, and explosives. Stinger missiles and RPGs -- which were illegal to own without previous military experience -- were also present. They tagged the location for eventual pickup -- no point in destroying brand new weapons if you can confiscate them.

Meanawhile, Second Platoon of the Third Shock Troopers rushed up the stairs to the second floor, which was occupied by innocents, so they bypassed them.

On the third floor, though, was the majority of their targets. Four men to a room, ten rooms. Each one kicked in the door to find two men in the same bed together -- which was appalling to all of the soldiers. In each room the men were dragged out of bed and cuffed. Those who resisted were beat down with the butts of the Steyr AUGs, and those who resisted heavilly were shot in the groin and the stomach and left to die.

Delta Squad of Second PLatoon headed up to the Fourth Floor, where the owner lived. Delta One kicked down the door to be shot from a guard. Delta Two tossed in two fragmentary grenades and then charged in with Delta Three, Four, and Five.

Three dead guards were laying around, and the door to the bedroom was knocked off its hinges. That was also kicked in, and the owner was arrested, along with his gender-confused lover.

All-in-all, it was a good raid. One casualty for the Shock Troopers, ten casualties for the homosexuals, one arms cashe secured, and thirty sodomites/heretics/enemies of the state were arrested and shipped of to Lubyanka Prison in Romanovsgrad to be interrogated by the SS.
