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.

(131,227 posts)Ive 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 Ive had to reflect on it.
She also claimed during the hearing that shes 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 cant 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.

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

(34,355 posts)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!

(18,181 posts)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.

(18,181 posts)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.

(2,754 posts)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.
