Arrest in SC at protest

We had one arrest at the No Kings rally in Myrtle Beach. A lady rode by in her Trump-adorned car and — pointed a handgun at two people from her car window.
She now says that she had 18 hours to reflect on how ignorant and wrong her action was. That time was of course the period she spent in jail last night waiting for the judge to give her a $100,000 cash bond this morning. Her picture in her Trump Tshirt was at the top of the article.

During Sunday’s bond hearing, Moriarty expressed regret over the situation.

“I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on a very ignorant move,” Moriarty said, adding that the weapon was not loaded. “...It was an impulsive, very ignorant thing to do; something I totally regret, given the 18 hours that I’ve had to reflect on it.”

She also claimed during the hearing that she’s not a flight risk, and has a full-time job and family here.

The judge said there is a concern for public safety, and ordered that if released, Moriarty can’t have contact with the two victims.

She's 59 years old, FFS. And it delights me that the only recorded arrest among 7 million participants was a Trumper.

Make that HAD a job. If I were her employer, she would be canned first thing Monday morning.

7 million protesters, no documented arrests. One Trumper, one arrest. She ought to petition to her cult leader, maybe he’ll pay her bond.

She can't afford her Obama-Care, rent or groceries because... Trump... and she needs a place to stay. She looks crazy. Like a psychopath. Proud of herself.

Lock her up!

Chances are now she's going to lose her job, possibility of being convicted of a crime and all for what?
For a man who doesn't give 2 shits about her.
Nice job there MAGAt.

I learned long before my 50s that if you really hate something you see along the side of the road, wave your finger guns at it, not real guns. That's perfectly legal and just as satisfying.

these are state charges, therefore Been A Dick Donald has zero authority to pardon or commute her sentence if she's convicted and/or sentenced to prison.

if they didn't release Tina Peters, he couldn't pardon or commute her sentence so he resorted to his usual crap but CO. basically told him to fuck off.

In this case she said that she had 18 hours to reflect on how ignorant and wrong her action was.
I am tempted to wonder if she is reflecting on choosing a different gun next time? Next time bringing a loaded gun? Wearing a mask? Having someone else drive while she crouches in the back? It's a certainty that like all republicans her thoughts are not about changing her behavior, but about how not to get caught the next time.
