residents in the small russian town of ryazan, apparently excited by the election of donald trump in the united states, have started a petition to have a street in their town renamed <u+201c>street of donald trump.<u+201d> the petition was started on <u+201c> change.org ,<u+201d> and, among other things, advocates for the name change because <u+201c>recently elected u.s. president donald trump is a big friend of russia and is a supporter of traditional values.<u+201d> 




per heatstreet , the petition has already gathered enough support to be officially reviewed by authorities which means residents are well on their way to <u+201c>making ryazan great again.<u+201d> 




the petition for a trump street has turned out to be quite popular. it<u+2019>s gathered enough signatures to be officially reviewed by the authorities. 




<u+201c>with a street named after donald trump we can make ryazan great again,<u+201d> said one of the supporters of the petition. 




<u+201c>i<u+2019>m signing because i was born in ryazan and trump is a great person and will change everything for the better,<u+201d> said another. 




here is a loosely translated version of the petition from google translate: 




despite the enthusiasm among many, some residents were slightly less supportive of the <u+201c>street of donald trump<u+201d> idea and suggested that the town would end up <u+201c>looking like idiots<u+201d> if trump imposed sanctions against russia. 




some commenters, however, expressed caution: <u+201c>you should have waited to see trump<u+2019>s first moves. what if he will support the sanctions against russia? you will look like idiots then.<u+201d> 




despite the petition<u+2019>s popularity, a city official thinks it<u+2019>s unlikely the street will actually be renamed. <u+201c>according to ryazan city regulations,<u+201d> the official said, <u+201c>the street can be named after a famous person, russian or foreign, only five years after the death of this person<u+201d>. 




meanwhile, here in the u.s., a 15-year-old student at richard montgomery high school in rockville, maryland had to be rushed to the hospital after being beaten up by 4 other students for wearing a <u+201c>make america great again<u+201d> hat. 




hundreds of students from richard montgomery high school were carrying signs reading, <u+201c>love trumps hate,<u+201d> and chanting near the rockville courthouse on maryland avenue in a protest that began at about 10 a.m. when a 15-year-old boy wearing one of the trump campaign<u+2019>s <u+201c>make american great again<u+201d> hats was attacked by about four students. 




the group surrounded the teen, punching him repeatedly, then threw him to the ground and kicked him repeatedly in the ribs. 




<u+201c>they jumped him and beat him up pretty bad,<u+201d> max stucky, a bystander who witnessed the attack, told wtop. 




the teen, who wasn<u+2019>t seriously hurt, was seen clutching the back of his head in pain. he was helped to his feet by medics and taken to a hospital in an ambulance. 




and still no word from obama and clinton on this senseless violence<u+2026>we<u+2019>re still waiting<u+2026> related
