As Brenda Walker noted for us yesterday, Russians in Moscow, exasperated by yet another violent crime apparently committed by a Muslim immigrant, staged a full scale riot this weekend.

Today the Russian Government responded

Police in Russia have arrested more than 1,200 people in a raid targeting migrants after major riots in Moscow.

The "preventative raid" targeted workers at a vegetable warehouse, which was attacked by demonstrators on Sunday…

Rosenberg comments

These figures are astonishing…It shows how worried the Russian authorities are by Sunday’s explosion of anger on the streets of Moscow; the police clearly want to convince Muscovites they take the grievances of local residents seriously and will crack down hard on illegal migrant workers.

Underlining the contrast with America

Ethnic Russian Yegor Shcherbakov, 25, was killed in front of his girlfriend…Police have released a security camera photo of the suspect, but have not identified him.

Media said the image suggested the man was of "non-Slavic appearance", leading nationalists to conclude the killer was a Muslim migrant from the Russian North Caucasus.

Not following the US MSM’s style book!

Steve Sailer likes to say of Israeli immigration policy

Generally speaking, much can be learned from Israel about how an intelligent people govern themselves.

Perhaps we should add much can be learned from Russia about how a morally courageous people govern themselves.
