  • Cindy Sheehan arrested

    link: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1160430

    WASHINGTON Sep 26, 2005 — Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.

    Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.

    Sheehan was the first taken into custody. She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching."

    BFD. She wanted to get arrested, so she was arrested. Nothing to discuss.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      Can't find anything to discuss. The police has the right to ask people to move on and arrest them if they don't.
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        I'm just wondering what she got arrested for... too close to the White House or something? And how long before someone will scream 'fasictism'.

        plus, after years of lurking in the OT, I've decied to add something to it

          Looks like it was loitering, according to the article.

              isn't it fascism and decided?

              besides, you're operating under false pretences. it's impossible to add to the OT.

                      Thank God!

                      When I was in Washington last year, people sitting on the sidewalks were SUCH a problem. Good thing they're finally cleaning up.

                            sigh...

                            I don't like Cindy Sheehan.

                            She hasn't added anything to the Iraq war debate. She was against the war before her son went. Her son died. She is still against the war. She hasn't revealed any ground-breaking information about the Bush administration. She just camped outside his ranch at Crawford Texas and created a media circus.

                            Big deal.

                            IMO, she does more to hurt the debate than help it. Because instead of discussing the Iraq war, the media discusses her.

                            I don't know if she wanted to get arrested or not. I don't know if this was a PR stunt or not. One wonders if it was.

                            I just want her to go away. Get off my TV.
                            To us, it is the BEAST.

                              Well, the media has a fixation with white women. Cindy Sheehan, that white woman who got lost in one of those Caribbean islands...
