"New York Irish bars join LGBT community in boycotting Russian vodka"
http://media.irishcentral.com/images/419*279/Russian_Vodka_NYC_Protest_SWIFF.jpg
New York's Irish bars have a message for President Vladimir Putin: target Russia's gay community with draconian new laws and we'll target your vodka in payback.
On Monday some of the city's most prominent Irish bar owners freely poured bottles of Russian vodka into the Manhattan drains in protest over shocking scenes of violence and abuse that have been captured on video since the passing of the controversial 'gay propaganda' law.
According to SFGate, Paul Hurley, the well known president of the United Restaurant and Tavern Owners Association, held up a bottle of the popular Russian brand Stolichnaya, then shook his head and called for a city-wide boycott of all Russian spirits and liquor.
'All these vodkas here, we're going to throw them out,' Hurley told the press. 'We feel enough is enough.'
