As I remember, she was armed with a can of spray paint. Slogans and all, ya' know.
Here is one of her contemporaries, Frank Cordaro:

He's another one you'd say got off without being shot dead. He's an eight time felon(trespass) who only did a year or two in prison for protests at SAC and Yankton.
Being a pretend sorta' sciencey internet scholar you may not realize that the "Ban the Bomb" peaceniks were founding members of the early environment movement (there was that unfortunate period of radiation releases), or the Frank Cordaro also was active in the family farm movement in the Midwest, with protests against Monsanto and the environmental damage of corn monoculture, Occupy the Caucuses in Iowa in 2012, and even recently arrested for rushing the stage at a P. Ryan rally. And a hundred other progressive causes. He's always been a busy guy.
But you'd have these non-violent, disobedient protestors dead, and don't think you're hiding your glee at the thought of it with a bit of bold emphasis.
In fact, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts there are more than a few people posting regularly here who have walked, talked, and protested with these two. Fire away.
