The Borowitz Report: The Hero We Need Now

One of the great joys of publishing TBR is the time I spend each day in the comments section reading what you have to say. Last week, this comment from a subscriber named Patricia got my attention:

“Exciting day for old ladies, I was arrested in front of the ICE building in Portland Oregon. The charge was obstructing access to a federal facility. Great optics a 75 year old white woman, 5’2”, 120 lbs., being dragged off by armed DHS officers. I was handcuffed and held for almost an hour. Being a nasty woman, instead of cringing and crying, I made fun of them and bragged about my history as a serial murderer and how being arrested and handcuffed ticked off another bucket list item for me. We have it all on video, can’t wait to show it to the judge.”

If this is the first you’re hearing of this incident, there’s a good reason: the corporate media refused to cover it. So I decided to share Patricia’s story.

I posted Patricia’s comment on Facebook and it immediately went viral, reaching over half a million people in a matter of hours. Patricia’s defiance of Kristi Noem’s lackeys drew overwhelming praise from Facebook commenters.

I contacted Patricia and she generously offered to answer a few questions—and shared this video of her arrest:

There's a great story here, and it's much longer than Andy's usual 4 paragraphs. Also it's interesting that the DHS officers are not masked, so most likely they can be identified. (He doesn't seem to be a regular ICE goon though.)

Thanks Andy Borowitz and this bold, nasty woman named Patricia in Portland, Oregon.

2. If only the protesters who obstruct and harass patients at Planned Parenthood clinics were treated like that!

That'll never happen, of course. But this Grey Avenger is a hero. Let's spread this video.
