This is the same person who will go on to procreate and teach her children to be just as stupidly dangerous.

don't know where offhand, but I recall reading something about her rubbing her eyes with an onion hidden in the towel. either way, I'm sure we'll see more tears of despair once she's arraigned.

Onions take out the sting of tear gas. So she knew enough to bring the onion.

I wondered why her eyes weren't red and bloodshot like most people when they get maced. So not only is she a seditionist, she is a kabuki seditionist.

I blame Youth Soccer and the "everyone is a winner" ... "a trophy for everyone" mentality. People like Elizabeth from Knoxville are the sad results of that failed experiment.

I doubt that Ms. Entitled ever kicked a soccer ball in her life. My best guess is very few kids in rec soccer learned insurrection and rioting from their participation trophies.

"I only regret that I have but a few tears to lose for my country."

She is one of the first casualties of Civil War Part Two. Tear gas will do that to you. Next time it might be 5.56 mm rounds.

Apparently she's been somehow led to believe that 'stormin' the capital while white is completely normal and acceptable.

I know, right?! Her incredulous reaction is one that I'd expect from disappointed brides who stumbled and were knocked over at the Filene's Basement wedding gown sale.

Prosecutor: Elizabeth from Knoxville, tell the court what you told the reporter as you were stumbling around outside the Capitol Building

Elizabeth: I told him I was Elizabeth from Knoxville and that we were storming the Capitol and that it was a revolution.

Lawyer: Oops. I guess I’ll be changing that plea now, from “not guilty” to “fruit loopy crazy”.

I guess she didn’t realize that the “revolution” had failed and the government she attacked wasn’t going to be very sympathetic to what she and her cro-magnon compadres had tried to do -- almost accomplished doing -- to its legislature and the historic building in which they work.

Would the judge in a sedition trial have discretion in sentencing? 10 years may be a bit stiff for Elizabeth from Knoxville, although 10 years with all but 3 suspended might be fair.
