A woman was arrested live on camera in Grand Rapids, Michigan, while talking to a local newscast about protesting the U.S. government’s sudden takeover of Venezuela.
Jessica Plichta helped Grand Rapids Opponents of War organize the turnout Saturday, which inspired dozens of locals to march through snowy city streets. But in a bizarre turn of events, Plichta’s decision to exercise her First Amendment rights ended when local authorities handcuffed her on the sidewalk while she was live on air.
“We have to apply pressure at all points that we can, this is not just a foreign issue,” Plichta said before she was arrested. “It’s our tax dollars that are also being used to commit these war crimes.”
She was reportedly arrested for obstructing a roadway and failure to obey a lawful command from an officer, according to 13 ON YOUR SIDE.
Plichta had visited Venezuela just three weeks before the Trump administration kidnapped the Latin American nation’s leader, Nicolás Maduro. While there, she attended an international summit, the People’s Assembly for Peace and Sovereignty of Our America, during which she said she saw Maduro “in person.”
“People loved him,” Plichta told the ABC News affiliate before her arrest. “Maduro was elected by the people. He is for the people, and the people want to see his return. Free Maduro.”

Arrested for illegally blocking roadway, and refusing to obey commands of police officers.
Peacefull assembly does not include blocking roadways.
I was hoping to read “and thrown to the ground on her face”
Da ho doesn’t even know what a war is. She’s just a Trump/America hating commie slob. A worthless human bean. And her butt boy, Manduro stroke of bad luck was getting arrested. It wasn’t a “war”. Look it up retard!
Another Gretel Thunderbutt wannabe. She needs to stick with bowling. Not a lot of thinking required.
Arrested.
Not kidnapped.
she seems nice
Well, bye, Jessica.
Another fool
Stupid is as stupid does.
She is not like the usual 70% of protesters who could block a SWAT vehicle by sitting on the road as the driver spun the wheels, burning rubber but not moving when she refused to get up.
Apparently she couldn't get her woke mind out of the gutter.
