Capitol Police took Sheehan, invited as a guest of Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., away in handcuffs and charged her with unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor. She later was released on her own recognizance.

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said police warned her that such displays were not allowed in the House chamber, but Sheehan did not respond.

....

"I was never told that I couldn't wear that shirt into the Congress," Sheehan wrote. "I was never asked to take it off or zip my jacket back up. If I had been asked to do any of those things...I would have, and written about the suppression of my freedom of speech later."

6. not the 1st time in history

what i think of, how friendly was the military and police to Latin Americans when they were fighting for their rights! Who did the police defend when people were trying to stop international corps from raping and pillaging their land and resources!
know who your Friends are...

7. Good point

3. Yeah, Cindy was warned just like the WCW lady

who was told to take down posters by Cleveland Hts. police. She was complying when they tackled her, threatening to kill her because of her anti-Bush views. There's a thread about it here at DU-but don't read it if your blood pressure is already high.

4. Was she alone at the time he supposedly said that? I hope she wasn't.

I HOPE she had a WITNESS to what actually happened. These thugs need to be exposed.

8. We need to find out who the young man in the tan suit

sitting on the aisle and in those pictures is. We need to speak to him and see what he saw. If he was close enough to be in both the pictures of her entering and the pictures of her beind removed, there is no way he didn't see what was happening in front of him.

Who is that kid?
