"Cindy Sheehan arrested at Calif. Wall St. protest"
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Police in the California state capital of Sacramento say that anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was among 19 demonstrators arrested during a demonstration of anti-Wall Street sentiment.

The Sacramento Bee reports that the 53-year-old Sheehan was booked early Sunday on suspicion of unlawful assembly and failing to follow police orders to disburse.

1. Disperse, good God, not disburse
The Sac Bee has laid off their proofreader?

2. You'd think the editors would catch that, wouldn't you?
HUGE difference in the meaning.

5. Spell check thought the word was just fine
what more proofreading does it need?

3. Maybe "disburse" was the right verb ?
I don't know, consider the possibility that the police arrested her because she was still in possession of some personal cash that she hadn't yet turned over to the top 1%. The police are there to help protesters give it all up for the 1%. Resisting that order might qualify as "failure to disburse" what little remaining cash we have.

:sarcasm:
