As of Monday Morning, all arrested activists except for Rich Paul and Ian are out of custody with pending charges. It is unclear why either is still in, or what they are charged with, but the most updated information will be found on our forum thread about this subject at http://forum.freekeene.com/index.php?topic=3564

    Was that old lady cheering on the violence? She would be better off being a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championships were two consenting adults fight for entertainment.

    The old lady will change her mind about state violence once the cops break in her house and tase her in bed.

    I thought she was cheering on the protesters.

    Either way, the whole thing nauseated me.

    Ian,

    Was the situation before the cops arrived out of control or wild? Their anger or frustration level seems very heightened for something so silly. I give you a lot of credit for standing in front of the cruiser and taking one for all of us. I will be sure to donate to the civil disobedience fund.

    The elderly lady was cheering on the state's usual routine of kidnapping peaceful people (which the state happened to NOT be leaving alone), while yelling "leave me alone".

    Would she also cheer and clap her hands when she gets the bill (i.e. tax notice) for arresting and caging these same people she so eagerly delighted in being removed from her sight?

    Does "Live Free or Die" mean anything to her other than what she reads off the license plates?

    I thought for a moment Ian was going to cry….. now that would have been entertainment!

    So the old bag was actually applauding the pigs?!

  • Sam A. Robrin

    Yeah, and I'd always thought Eva Braun died in that bunker . . .

  • outs

    How wonderful it must feel to the twisted-minded busybody to be enjoying the freakshow put on by the pigs, without actually funding it!

    Movie tickets cost money you know.

    But getting a bunch of sadists to perform is free !!! Wheee!!!

    She could be offered a free chest painting as well. That ought to put the kibosh on her jealousy that she didn't get a turn.
