...on April 16th, Jill Nelson, a 67-year-old writer, left her apartment on Riverside Drive to run a few essential errands.(snip)... she passed a boarded-up storefront, and wrote Trump = Plague in pink chalk. Seconds later, she was in handcuffs, she told us.
Before I could step back and see my handiwork, two police SUVs roared up on either side of me, and blocked me in, Nelson told the Rag. Four officers jumped out: What are you doing? Why are you doing that? Do you own this building? Do you have a weapon?
They roughly cuffed me, took my purse, and shoved me into the back of an SUV. I was taken to the 33rd Precinct and put in a cell at about 1 p.m. I was never read my rights.(snip)
Nelson has been charged with graffiti, a misdemeanor, and was held at the 33rd Precinct for more than five hours.(snip)...they werent going to let me out because I didnt have a picture ID,(snip)
During a phone call that Nelson claims was cut short by an NYPD officer, she was unable to communicate her whereabouts to her husband, Flores A. Forbes,(snip)
Eventually, Forbes arrived, having given up on the squad car and determined his wife was almost certainly at the 33rd Precinct.
They had a plastic evidence bag and I saw my license, from my cell, Nelson said.(snip)
It wasnt until 6:37 p.m. that Nelson was able to leave the precinct, and not without a stern reminder as to her impending day in court, she said.
When I left, the desk sergeant, who was of African-American descent, said, you better show up, because if you dont were going to come to your house and arrest you.
On her way home, Nelson noticed that Trump = Plague had already been smudged away.

Exactly! And how many other essential errands, a.k.a. graffiti tags has she made?
Have you ever noticed how liberals are innocent victims when the rules they want to impose on everyone else somehow [GASP!] get applied to them? Yes, cry me a river!
She didn’t have any ID and was uncooperative. A long time activist. Bet you would have a different opinion if ishe chalked Obama equals plaque.
Bingo. Chalk or not, somebody had to clean up after her. I have no problem with her getting into a bit of trouble.
Dont use the chalk it you dont want to do the perp walk.
(Sorry. Best that I could do.)
Self-immolation to would truly prove your outrage.
Im not the graffiti type but people are getting taken away for bs. Part of me is laughing at the Libs getting oppressed by the people they put in power. However, we are ALL under the same boot.
Just look st the sheer sense of entitlement this far left lunatic has. Not only is she defacing someone else’ property which has been boarded up because of lockdowns, she was thinks she should be given time to admire her handiwork too.
Words fail me on this one.
“Trump = Plague”
Wow. What a literary genius.
She’ll probably win a Pulitzer.
Two things:
1)I think that today’s cops are criminal gang members.
2)I own a commercial building, and if some expletive was caught defacing it with grafitti, I’d want them arrested.
The story is a fart.
She made a mistake. She should have written “ Democrats=commies”.
then throw the old lady in prison for the rest of her life. That should solve the problem.........Sheesh!
“Really? Tyranny is a feel-good story?”
Don’t worry, Mr wasted...I smothered my smile.
What kind of 67 year old woman does that sh*t?
**********************************
The DemocRAT kind.
You’re crazy if you think she’s telling you the whole story. The police just magically showed up at that instance? When have you ever seen that happen?
We’ve all been having our liberties chipped away at lately.
Today was Jill’s turn. She’ll survive.
I wouldn’t care if it said hussein.
Huh? I realize I flunked English in high school but what you just wrote don't make any sense........
If you're going to criticize somebody in a post then the least you can do is make it understandable to whoever you are addressing.......
Crap is getting weirder and weirder around here and people are getting stupider and stupider...........Must be an unreported side effect of the Covid 19.....
