In reply to the discussion: Occupy Wall Street Activist Found Guilty of Assaulting Police Officer [View all]90-percent
(6,953 posts)I haven't studied this case much, but I've had an awareness of Occupy for a while, as I see it as one hope to right this straight to full blown fascism ship.
And it is utterly remarkable how naked the actions of the PTB really are - open carry at an Obama speech - no problem. We must respect Second Amendment rights.
This young woman, just starting on her road as a responsible adult, was doing her duty as an American Citizen to peaceably assemble and protest. Notice I said it was her DUTY, and not merely exercising a formally protected constitutional Right. And the heinous PTB's are hanging SEVEN YEARS OF PRISON over her head! This is a young woman trying to do the right thing and my government is trying to ruin her life to make an example for anybody else that wants to exercise their former constitutional Rights
The injustice is staggering and it just shows you how much of a TOTALITARIAN FASCIST POLICE STATE our country has become.
For the state to threaten this young woman with a forfeiture of seven years of freedom, plus all the other crap they hang on felons for the rest of their lives, is simply medieval and draconian and cruel. Our Institutions are run by mean selfish corrupt cruel sociopaths.
I wouldn't even want this to happen to an ignorant gun toting tea bagger! And if there was some form of justice left in America, the 'bagger's should have been driven away in paddy wagons in droves for their behavior since they were co-opted by the Koch's. If they were to be held to the same legal measure as this poor unfortunate young woman.
