Police Arrest Grandmothers for Peace

[jacoby1682]

Hippies that missed their chance in the 60's

[berkelandmccarrell]

Pathetic old bags trying to relive the 60's. Let me guess, now that Obozo is president, the old bags aren't protesting anymore....even though the wars are still going on and he's starting a new one with Libya.

[Masterkruizer]

They think because they are older they cant get arrested!

[ikie18]

and by bigger protest then they little bitches that are scared.

mother fucking cunt police

[Airportris]

finally real justice, the real criminals getting put behind bars, good job officers!!! congratulations

[cockshe]

Look,I don't like to see elderly women sent to jail,but the fact is they broke the law, were fairly warned and then arrested!If they were protesting at your property, you would demand the same,and don't say that you would not,simply because they are grandmothers!A simple question would be to ask them how their children voted in the 04' election,we all know that it was a Bush majority,and likely so would the answers given.Perhaps even of a few of these grandmas!Lets get real people!BUSH in 2012!

[Tetzukai]

I hate war, but these woman have my respect.

[angeldustxiii]

WOW there moms must be real proud of them. What a bunch of cowards. arresting those ladies. we should start arranging sit ins all around the world. Many blessings of peace,love and light to all. even thoughs PIGS that arrests them. i guess they dont care about there Karma. oxxo

[treon123456]

1st amendment......the right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress!!!!! the largest group of armed people in history vvont take this for very long! i pray i live to see the evil get vvhats comin to them!

[420991]

@treon123456 their right to protest ends when the recruiters rights to operate are infringed. these women were trespassing and unwelcome at the office, therefore they were asked to leave. they couldve simply gone across the street and continued their protest without any interference but noooo they had to make a scene

[treon123456]

@420991 ...FUCK YOU FACIST COCKROACH....FK U AND YOU IRON FIST LITTLE DICK OVERCOMPENSATING PUSSY COPS FRIENDS RIGHT UP YOUR POWER TRIPIN ASSES! ppPppPpPpPPtH!!!!!!! THE TIMES COMIN WHEN WHEN BADGE PUSSIES LIKE YOU ARE GONNA BURY YOUR UNIFORMS AND 'SHIELDS' AND SWEAR YOU WERE NEVER THE FREEDOM KILLIN ROBO SCUM YOU ARE.....SISSY PUSS!

[FusionHalo]

Bravo to those ladies for standing up for what they believed in!

Much respect!

[bettyboop65340]

can someone tell me what adobe flash player is . it wont let me view any videos

[pacononame]

man...i feel bad about this video. who the heck arrest an old lady...

[420991]

old or not they still broke the law

[treon123456]

@420991......AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! you freakin Hitler Youth punk........DEATH TO ALL TYRANTS!!!!

[Airportris]

@420991 they never broke any law

[420991]

@Airportris umm, you need to brush up on your laws. yes they did. they failed to obey a lawful order to disperse and were trespassing on private property.

[Airportris]

@420991 lol a lawful order? what law says you cant protest? private property? did the owner of the property ask them to leave? you dont have to obey any orders from police, all acts and statutes are only applicable to those who consent, so go ahead keep consenting to facism and keep thinking you know the law

[420991]

@Airportris you can protest all you want, on public property. that shopping plaza is privately owned. the recruiters asked for them to leave, so there fore if they refuse to leave they are violating a law and subject to police action, when police ask them to leave and they refuse they are then disobeying a lawful order and subject to arrest. simple concept

[Airportris]

@420991 the recruiters dont own the property, they have no lawful right to ask anyone to leave. and no its not a simple concept because laws are only applicable to those who consent, these people are concenting but there rights stilll being violated,

[420991]

@Airportris youre right. the recruiters dont own the property, but the are the ones on the lease, therefore they retain the property rights, and they reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone they damn well please. these women were unwelcome and were asked to leave, they refused and were subsequently arrested for trespassing. If you dont like our laws, then you dont have to live here

[Airportris]

@420991 this is obviously a plaza and there is multiple units leased so there for they would all have to agree to have the people removed and file a formal written complaint. and all written law is not applicable once it violates the rights of the constitution. the police cannot charge anyone with trespassing without written form from the property owner, not the lease holder. once you give your consent all written law applies

[treon123456]

@420991 MY ASS AWAITS YOUR LIPS ....FACIST PIGGY!

[pacononame]

wow im a cop and i think this is wrong...i hope they cut them loose somewhere else.

[jerni2786]

@pacononame This is so wrong! Im a Police recruit in Georgia and they went overboard!

[balubaluba]

Arrested for what?

[hannarye]

Most likely Criminal trespass. The officers had no choice, these ladies were on private property and the property owner called police. They were asked to leave and refused. The property owner has rights too and is entitled to police protection. All the ladies had to do is get a permit to protest and they could demonstrate on city property all they want.

[10qpalzmxncbv]

I love these ladies! Keep doing what you are doing and peace for everyone!

[hbcrazyman]

i just wanna know what they think they are accomplishing by getting arrested like this. absolutely nothing. the cops are goin to pick them up and go on to the next call. pointless

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

The cut off age to enlist in the Army is 42 and I am sure they were all aware of this- They just wanted to get some attention and arrested to "further" their cause. If you want to enlist do it while you meet the requirements - and dont go into the Army - Join the Marines!

[jendrixhendrix]

Hmmm, they didnt get arrested for protesting did they? It was for trespassing. All they had to do was take the protest a foot or so ahead and they could have carried on...The laws the law, no matter how old you are.

[vsboy25]

hell yes

[Y2KHorny]

you are brave warriors...hoooahh OIF 06-07, pirates for life arrrrrrgghhhs

atleast someone thinks this war is a total bullcrap that can be smelled miles away...why the fuck people just close their eyes to this illegal war? why?

[zapataoffshore]

The problem was the private property issue. If they went across the street to CITY HALL EAST, (The buildings steps are visible when the APD officer is talking about private property) They could have raised hell within earshot and vision of the army recruiting site, being city property, owned by the public, I think they would have been able to keep going without getting removed. The APD would have simply placed an officer there to watch them.

[xandrox]

This is stupid, why the fuck they enlishted if they dont want to go :s.

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

Thats just it - they dont want to go anywhere - they want attention.

[PriaNorm]

USA has become like 3rd Reich they to silenced those that spoke out they to used the word "patriotic" to cover up wars and horrors based on lies.

 When will your turn come to be arrested by "your" nazi police for trying to end a war based on lies?

[Escuderoam]

what happened to freedom of speach?

[4ezMoney]

I'm surprized these women weren't beaten down by the police, handcuffed, then tasered too. If they aren't being filmed, Homoland Insecurity trained police in the USA today invariably elect to use violence, intimidation, physical injury and even murder to satisfy their lust for power and control over other human beings. The US economic collapse & martial law coming fall 2008 ought to shake things up a bit.

[KimmoKuopio]

Hippies just get dumber and uglier as they age. LOL!

[rogerrodd]

I suggest this gem from the 60's protest genre. "Suppose they gave a war and no one came?" Why do people continue to join the military? Are they illiterate or blinded by false patriotism? Do they notice that we are still in Afghanistan guarding an oil pipeline and Bin Laden has been out of the news for 3 years? Do they notice that our military is based only in the small section of Iraq that involves oil production, while the rest of Iraq is void of ANY US troops and is rampant with civil war?

[flavour54]

That's awesome. Good on you all. Its a shame we have to rely on Nanna for courage.

Go ahead

Hats off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oldprof68]

These grandmothers have more courage than Bush & Cheney. May the wisdom and activism of our elders prevail!

[DivineMoments]

Hippies just get dumber and uglier as they age.

[nd017]

That was very good, I espesially liked the old woman almost getting into the wrong prisson van and having to be redirected!  Well done for following through with your convictions.

[mikeymochan]

omg yamks lmao

(stop sending our kids to iraq ) lmao stop um singing up for the army ??? he he yanks crake me up

[CanadianBeaver]

Peace and Love!

[xsleef]

WTG ladies.Speak out every chance you get,Stop this bs corporate run lies.

[billsarebullyesyes]

GO GRANNIES!! they have more courage than most people in the U.S., and other countries for that matter. WAKE UP!! "FREEWILL" IS OUR SAVIOR. you can't fight a war if no one goes - UNITY

[MikeHawkins]

Many people are corrupted for a paycheck, they don't care if what they do is right or wrong as long as they get paid! Like the Iraqi's getting slaughtered fighting for our Puppet Government we elected or at least our Nazi rulers elected over there! Get ready for Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran with 4 years of McCain, you watch and see!!!

[zezt]

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Grandmothers!!­!

See them cops. the lackies 'we're jest DOIN our jobs'

well fuckinCHANGE them, and fuckin SHAME ON YOU!

[DataMSS]

How could these cops bring these grannies back to the precinct to be booked.. I bet these brave ladies weren't quiet in there either..

[Bizziboy]

The truth is always a threat...

[RexNunc]

My god.

What possible threat could these brave grannies pose?

I mean, what're they gonna do? Make the cops a sandwich?

For the love of Pete(whoever he is), this country is circling the drain.

[RexNunc]

So what did you do today Officer Johnson?

-I, uh...I....arrested.....some grwnwmmmas...so what's on t.v. tonight?

Wait, who did you arrest?

-Arrest? Oh yeah, I, uh...grwnmmamns.

I can't understand what youre sa...

-Grandmothers, OK!?! I arrested a bunch of grannies for getting, jeesus help me, for getting too loud. Oh God, plz kill me.

[jpurry]

I am a grandmother for peace but my message is "Muck With Me--Please. MAKE MY DAY!!!!!

I am through with passive asking!!!

[dnHooligan]

Oh My God.

If we do not see a revolution, we WILL see world war 3. You all realize that, don't you?

[idasputem]

As TFHL says in comments below,- IT'S PUBLIC property, paid for (SUPPOSEDLY) with taxes.

They CANT just say ITS PRIVATE when it suits them, (they DO, but they CANT legally).

GRAN POWER!

[CognitiveDisonance]

Very brave and heartening. I admire their conviction.

[CognitiveDisonance]

Shame the'll probably be convicted in court.

What are the criminal charges, trespassing? Disorderly conduct? Disturbing (promoting) the peace?

[CognitiveDisonance]

Tell you what, you gutless thumbs down person, these woman have more integrity than you could ever hope to have. People like you disgust me. Wait and watch. Your campaign of negativity will soon be diminished.

[realnewsdm]

You Sir are RIGHT!

[StineControl]

This is what Guantánamo Bay is for, ruthless grandmothers must be dealt with b4 they take over the world, help the police fight them, soon it will be to late. ;)

[Tinfoilhatlady]

Private ?

Right.

They say that when you are in public space all the time. I had similar experience in front of my city hall. I said 'no you are wrong this is public.' The security could not argue once I showed them I knew the truth. The city property is MINE and the public side walk is the GRANNIES :)

xo

tfhl

[idasputem]

TinFoilHatLady - RIGHT!

[IanKay6]

Public Speech is based on Time, Place, and Manner Restrictions. The speech must be on a public space, and some communities are permitted to require permits for demonstrations, or protests. Examples of public spaces: Sidewalks, Post office, Court, City Streets, Schools, and Meeting Halls. The speech is required to not infringe with the business on the premises. It appeared that the lady's where on private property, such as a shopping complex, which is not a public place.

[IanKay6]

In conclusion you where most likely on public property, so you where right, but those cops are not stupid. They knew the law and the situation, and trust me they were not arresting them for fun! This sort of action can and obviously did bring a negative attention to the police department. This brings the chief or whoever permitted the arrests under intense scrutiny from the press and concerned citizens. If they where on the sidewalk in front of the complex they wouldn't have been arrested.

[IanKay6]

Well unfortunately the grandmothers refused to leave private property. They do have a 1st amendment right to free speech, as long as it is on public property. They should have just moved to the front of the business complex, they where given many chances to move by obviously calm caring officers. The officers gave them every opportunity to move, they just chose to stay and get arrested for the cause. By the way if they cant afford an attorney a public defender will be appointed free of charge.

[Tinfoilhatlady]

BAH BAH

[DivineMoments]

lankay6.. Please don't confuse the libs with facts.. to them all authority is evil!

[mugshotesp]

A new low for the police, arresting protestors doing it peacefully. What crime did they commit?!

If the police are meant to serve as justice, here's a recommendation ARREST CRACK DEALING CHENEY!

[grannypeacebrigade]

Bravo! A 21 non-gun, non-violent and thoroughly heart-felt salute from the NYC Granny Peace Brigade. As always, we draw strength from our sisters. Please know, you all were part of our thoughts on March 19 as we - in New York City and Washington - staged our knit-ins for peace. We shall follow your trial and subsequent actions with interest. In solidarity, the New York City/Granny Peace Brigade.

[boworl]

Another chip off the old rights of Bill. What a sham damn.... Damn shame sham shit same sold sovernty sux segments so sorely sorry sonofabitch.

I have sent this to all the people I know. And they should send it to all they know and this seed grows. I know the bloom will be a wonderful fragrant blossom of PEACE!!!!

[ThemisForJustice]

The US spent 12 year disarming Iraq. The weapons inspectors said there was nothing of significant left in Iraq. Bush & Cheney launched an illegal,immoral pre-emptive attract on Iraq. Bush did not go after the terrorist instead he made a power grab for Iraq's oil. Iraq is destroyed, over 1 million Iraqis are dead, millions more are wounded and 4.5 million are refugees. Over 4,000 of our troops are dead and tens of thousands are wounded and disabled physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
