beatdown - Ukrainian Parliamentary Procedure

They do things just a little bit different there.

According to reports, Lyashko had just asked Martynyuk to let him make a speech, which Martinyuk refused to do on procedural grounds. Lyashko then apparently called his interlocutor a Pharisee, at which point it was on. Martynyuk's impassive, heartbeat-at-60 professionalism is to be admired. Vulcan nerve pinch and ninja movie pressure point manueover? Just imagine the world of hurt Lyashko would have been in if Martynyuk had three hands.

KGB trained no doubt. The guy doing the choking doesn't even drop his pen.

And here's some video of the beatdown...
