There is even a T-shirt honoring the town’s signal event: “If the government can’t help people,” it reads, “It doesn’t have the right to forbid them from defending themselves — Sagra 2011.”
RKBA comes to Russia. Excellent news.

That along with some letters congratulating them actually does sound like a nice atta-boy for those fellas.

Post by: MicroBalrog on August 06, 2011, 04:42:18 PM: Ah, the story of Sagra reaches America.

Fact: there is one registered shotgun in Sagra.

Fact: At least three people were firing guns at the invaders.

Fact: The police are for some reason forgetting to investigate this fact. ;)

It's "no hablo". No habla means "he doesn't speak" which would mean you were talking about yourself in the third person....

She's still alive after that anticorruption work she was doing a couple years back? Very impressive. Figured she would be taking a dirt nap by now.

Didn't she and that other attorney do some investigative work on some of Putin's cronies?

"Hablo" is the first-person conjugate of the verb hablar, which means "to speak".
"Hablo" means "I speak".

"Habla" is the third-person conjugate of hablar, and means "he/she/it speaks."

If it's Russia, assume MB knows it.

Uhm, if there is an attractive Russian lady involved, I certainly hope I know about it in short order! =D
