Sheehan was HANDCUFFED and taken away.

[Zen Democrat]

The t-shirt, which she had been wearing all day, said "2245 Dead .. How Many More"

1. That just sucks.

Don't those SS dudes just -look- fascist?

Where's a picture with the caption on her shirt?

[Mike Nelson]

2. Bush needed to get rid of her

Bad image for Herr Bush

3. Wearing a t-shirt is unlawful conduct?

"Sheehan, who had been invited to attend the speech by Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., was charged with unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor, Capitol Police told NBC News. Sheehan was taken in handcuffs to police headquarters a few blocks away and her case was processed as Bush spoke."

4. In Rueters photo, she's not wearing a t-shirt.

11. She had a jacket over the t-shirt and opened it when she sat down.

Capitol police rushed to her to tell her to close her jacket and she refused.

The shirt didn't have obscene words or pictures. Just the facts. Free speech is dead.

5. I feel safer already and now believe * is doing the right thing...

6. Rate the story up.

Cindy Sheehan is a true American.

[doublethink]

7. Hey know what ....

"Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said." -snip- ...... took that from the article you posted. Well another person who stood up for the truth and didn't say shit at one time was a guy named Jesus. Something about when he was accused, questioned and such that he opened not his mouth. I think it's a good sign .... there should be quite a bit of publicity out of this arrest of Cindy. And look how popular Jesus became after he didn't say shit!!!! Gotta love it. Peace. :)

8. Kick.

[doublethink]

10. But did you kick and Recommend it?

Peace. :)

[buddysmellgood]

Of course they did! She's a huge threat to the nation. She's scary and

dangerous. I'm surprised they let her in. What could be more dangerous than a grieving mother of fallen soldier. :sarcasm:

[SPKrazy]

9. They Said They'd Release Her In An Hour

I guess wearing a T Shirt that is opposed to B* is illegal?

So much for first amendment

Arresting her?

How about telling her to leave, or asking her to change shirts (both of which I disagree with as well) But arresting her?????

Something is terribly wrong.

[sandnsea]

14. They did

They gave her an opportunity to put her black jacket back on. She refused, and refused to move. I don't think they should have said anything over a statement on her shirt anyway, but they did give her a chance to avoid arrest.

20. Huh?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x287495

This shows differently.

peace.

[fed-up]

12. But military uniforms/judges robes are ok- cuz they don't make a statement

She was just wearing the uniform of an anti-war protestor

our men are dying for what again???

[Twist_U_Up]

16. great point n/t

[bob4460]

13. as a great american once said

we are the strongest country in the world because we are the freest country in the world and when we lose sight of that all is lost

[Swamp Rat]

15. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[fooj]

17. Freedom is on the march...unless you have a dissenting opinion.

Welcome to DU! We will rebuild the strength of this country. We have to.

Arresting Cindy was an incredibly bad move. Little Lord Pissypants crossed the line.

Peace.

[Left Is Write]

18. THAT'S the t-shirt I see all this talk of here? THAT'S what she was cuffed

and removed for?

That's insane.

[PVK]

19. Do the poll.

It's at the middle of the page (Live Vote--in red).
