In reply to the discussion: Femen member Amina Tyler on trial in Tunisia [View all]bettyellen
(47,209 posts)59. you wrote more about DUers in posts 6 and 7 than you had about her.
you didn't even bother to Google up her fate. Instead, you whined about people here for paragraphs after giving her two sentences, LOL. That's pretty transparent.
Of course, like most who pull this whining about DU bullshit these days- you were wise enough to keep it out of the OP. Good for you.

Glad the authorities banned those ultra-conservative Muslims from having a conference there.

I just have to point out that Femen was the topic du jour a month ago. Amina was hot.

I don't think you'd be charged with carrying an incendiary object for pepper spray.

I thought I read they were being easy on her for not going after her for desecration of a tomb?

so it could actually be for the desecration but in order to make the sentence not as harsh

It wasn't 'on the mosque'; it was on the top of a low modern wall of a cemetary

She wrote on wall, that looks damn modern and had graffiti on it before. Never mind it's so

that's probably why there were no charges. Could have been 6 months in jail.
