True Feminists Should Find this Incredibly Horrifying........Can We Unite in Support?

47. Well, then again it is...this young woman will have a Felony Assault on her record...

that will follow her around for the rest of her life. Not an easy thing to get around, in the long run. Which is exactly why she was charged with it in the first place. Now those corporate kings and fat-cat overlords have the case of this poor girl to wave around...see what happens when anybody tries to stand up to them. So you're correct, but demonstrating peacefully in this country shouldn't ever even be considered "getting out of line".

Castigating a woman like this for exercising her right to protest free of harassment, sets us back to the days before we had the right to vote, sweat shops, chattel. The treatment of Occupy protesters the night that Ms. McMillan was arrested in Zuccotti Park, the lies upheld in the courtroom where she was tried, and the ridiculous sentence handed down by a prejudiced judge for a non-crime, a totally victimless offense, tells me that they are more than prepared to punish any dissent. That they singled out a fearless, vocal woman comes as no surprise.

It's the same as it ever was.
