Senior Woman Protesting War Faces Jail Time (Part 3)

[3ngLishLioN]

dont know about you guys....but i love this woman and i never met her,its disgusting how she was treated

[kingamin77]

its so wierd that presidents can get away with war crimes but an elderly woman can get arrested for peacefully protesting...

[slydogtom]

Sorry for the steam, all. I got a bad temper I guess. Anyway, she wasn't hurting anyone. Sorry for my poor manners etc...

[slydogtom]

How quickley they forget! The swat guy looked like he was ready to pop the lady checking on her. Boy, he's tough... Why doesn't he go right down the street from the capitol and arrest some of the pimps from his old hood--cause they'd kick his balls in. It so much easier being a tuffy on the news and taking out granny, aint it?

[63champ]

great job, arresting and handcuffing grandma, cops should be proud.

[Thegrammie1]

What ever happened to freedom of speach and the freedom to assemble. Looks to me she was in front of the White house. . ummmm. She has a right to express herself peacefully. Looked very peaceful to me. Shame on those officers. I wonder who complained.. duh.

[DorothyDandrich]

Well the fine will be about $150.00

[nico772005]

It's amazing how are government wastes tax dollars money by prosecuting people like her ...yet the allow child molesters ,rapists, people who commit violent crimes to roam free...

[moosen27]

seriously...i don't want to waste my money on somebody who is trying to benefit other people..well you know what i mean. She really has balls to do this, and i hope that more people will hear about this (although its kinda old). What an inspiration

[skiracer454]

their bastards

[VERONICARARA]

Just proves that you don`t have to be young to be stupid.

[alamoro]

Throw her in jail.

[JusticeLeague9]

Why weren't those pigs, arrested, tried and prosecuted right there on the street like the good ol' days? Our government is a class of murderers and liars. Hand them all! Go Ron Paul!

[travkeyes]

yes GO RON PAUL i cannot see why she was taken away O.o seems like she was a enemy combatant.

[saadasim]

If Bush was 1/100 as brave as this woman instead of being a total coward...

[TheMadChild]

An incredibly brave woman, like the protesters for women's suffrage before her in front of the white house, burning their speeches so they couldn't be taken from them.

[hk531971]

What a waste of time this crap is. Some old bag sitting down in the street. WTF garbage stunt.

[garouHH]

The end does not justify the means. Maybe the world was a better place when there were no limitations of the circumstances under which war may be started, in your view?

[73carolandme]

Reality in our daily lives proves constantly that Macchiavelli was right. All politicians justify their acts by the purpose they want to achieve. Some get away with corrupt procedures and even end up admired as great statesmen, others weren't half as bad as the propaganda of their time had pictured them.

[73carolandme]

In any case, the United States do NOT mass murder innocent people. Those backward countries full of dictators, so-called "revolutionaries", ayatollas and other real criminals carry out mass executions based only on political reasons. Even China, with all its attempt to become a modern country, kills dozens of people every week, accusing them of treason. The death penalty in the U.S. is only applied in aggravated cases of first-degree murder.

[73carolandme]

The only ones killing hundreds of innocent citizens in Irak right now are the terrorists who hide there, sympathetic followers of the same "martyrs" that have mass murdered people in America, Europe, Africa, etc. These "nice guys" are not imaginary, they are really there, ready to massacre the entire population because of their stupid, and truely criminal, ideas.

[73carolandme]

YES, the world IS a better place without animals like those terrorists, and I will always be in favor of anyone willing to try and wipe them out, not waiting for them to come around and attack again, but going out their after them, tracking them down, hunting them like the dirty animals they are, and capturing them, dead or alive.

[73carolandme]

Oh, by the way, maybe we are using different dictionaries, but I always thought that a war criminal was the one using or taking advantage of a state of war in his behalf to commit crimes. Excuse my ignorance.

[73carolandme]

You and I will never agree to anything, pal. We are not equal in that sense. We are not the same type of person. I choose my heroes among those who fight for a humane cause, trying to make the world a better, and safer, place, although they might make mistakes.

[garouHH]

Most of all we will not agree because you have no interest of staying on course of the argument, but rather try having the argument you want to have. I never justified the crimes you accuse me of justifying or preferring, but rather pointed out other crimes that happened too. Also you cling to the textbook version of history, which, as the saying goes, is written by the winners, not trying to take the perspective of posteriority, which'll point out the flaws of all sides.

[73carolandme]

While some of us want to see the world clear of tyrants, absolutists, genocidists, terrorists, etc. and are willing to trust in our leaders to reach that goal, others go stooging around to the demonstrations, thinking they are cool and modern and liberal, later acting like the cowards that ran from the World Trade Center when the 2nd plane crashed, while the true heroes still entered the buildings to save lives.

[Rockdrigo0]

Thats called brainwash.

[dwimmerlaik]

No matter how old and mentally ill you are you can't break the law and get away with it.

[73carolandme]

These people live in an imaginary world, where everybody is supposed to be nice and kind, and understanding. Wake up you fools, we are all under the target scope of the real murderers. The thing is these jerks would gladly turn us all in to the enemy. Bunch of lousy cowards.

[KyleCoppola]

Absolutely. Amen 73.

[garouHH]

You seem to live in an imaginary world where Saddam Hussein, a (genocidal tyrantish) secularist, colluded with Islamists and where G.W. Bush didn't incite a war by lying about non-existent weapons of mass destruction, thus not being the war criminal that he is.

[73carolandme]

I didn't imagine the dead bodies of fellow Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. Neither were the victims in London, Marrocco or Madrid imaginary. Maybe you imagine that Hitler just never existed, or simply that he walked away one fine day and allowed you folks to be free. Or perhaps your fellow Germans in the East just imagined they were oppressed for more than forty years?

[garouHH]

Godwins Law!

But for the sake of flamewarring: None of those incidences has been believably linked to the former iraqian government; neither has that invasion led to a decreasing motivation or power base for terrorist groups, quite the opposite.

[garouHH]

Also, maybe you think that the accumulation of power at a single governmental position and invasions under false pretext are historically unprecedented, but in that case reread your own posting. I know quite well about the Third Reich and also about how it came about, which is a historical lesson you seem to have forgotten.

[73carolandme]

It's easy to call Bush a murderer, tyrant, etc. You can do it in his face, and although it could be a false accusation, nothing will happen to you. That's called democracy. Try stating publicly in Venezuela that Hugo Chaves is a tyrant, try calling Castro a murderer in a Cuban street, try opposing the policies of Bevo Morales in public demonstration. You would get lynched by the police, or possibly killed in jail. In the least of cases, you would spend half your life in prison.

[garouHH]

I didn't call him a murderer or a tyrant, I called him a war criminal, for giving false pretext to justify a war makes you exactly that. The fact that it isn't a crime to say so doesn't change anything about that. (And I'm quite sure I'd still end up pretty roughed up, but that too has nothing to do with it).

[73carolandme]

Sure I know how Hitler came into power. The majority of Germans, under the pressure of economic distress, believed in his ideas. But it had to take the guts of the Commonwealth and the United States to boot him out. Until the U.S. responded to being ATTACKED, he was as harmless to America as Saddam Hussein was to you. Maybe the world was a better place when Saddam was around, in your view?

[panthers909]

You go get 'em!

IMPEACH BUSH!
