Police dismiss charges against woman who interrupted first lady

I grieve for the loss of her son, however, considering her comments here, I wonder if letting her go was a good idea. I guess the USSS is keeping tabs on her.

[EggsAckley]

I'm glad they let her off, but I'm SURE they're watching her every action.

[Guenevere]

#1..Agree....her remarks go beyond grieving....
...she's threatening the President, and I hope they keep a close eye on her.....I think she's dangerous!

[OldFriend]

How many days is this story going to be discussed in the media?

Notice there is no mention of the union thugs who tore the Bush/Cheney sign from the hands of a little girl.

[LadyPilgrim]

I also grieve for her son.

She diminishes her own son's memory by this kind of talk.
She needs to be locked up for a long time. This is not just grief talking.
The woman is a nut! A liberal nut!

[mylife]

I dont think she is all there

[freeplancer]

NO Sympathy. Just another bull$hit idiot. If you join the military for college money and/or some other self-serving B.S., then deal with it. Nobody makes you volunteer, and if you think your son or daughter was duped, then you are really to blame for passing on the faulty gene pool.

It's a generous thing to do... however, some background will give a clearer picture:

 Woman wearing 'President Bush You Killed My Son' T-Shirt disrupts first lady's rally  This woman, Sue Niederer, is the same person who confronted Rr. Raoul on one of his Freeps.

 Sorry. If America is going to suceed in the War on Terror then we need to be as resolved as we were in the Civil War or WWII, perhaps more so.

This kind of disgusting public display is unacceptable. I don't care if it makes her feel better, or helps her deal with her grief or whatever other kind of psychobabble we can associate with it.

The War on Terror is not about assuaging her feelings - it's about saving our country from savages trying to destroy it.

 This woman has been doing this type of thing in connection with various left wing groups since at least March, when I saw her (and fellow freeper Dr. Raoul confronted her) at a March in Dover, DE sponsored by Military Families Speak Out, Sept 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, and ANSWER.

Politically it is. After learning about her arrest, the left was all prepared to make a martyr out of her and dropping the charges deflates that. The Administration would have had more to lose if they followed through for conviction over a tiny little trespassing charge.

I guess the USSS is keeping tabs on her.

Probably. I hope so.

[rawhide]

We do not have a military draft, this woman's son enlisted on his own free will. This woman is grieving, but to blame Bush is ridiculous.

[Brian Mosely]

I wasn't aware of that. Since March, huh? I'm still sorry for her loss, but this woman has got a lot of very unhealthy anger. Why am I not surprised that Meida's Code Pink bunch is exploiting this? I would bet that they scan the casualty lists and try to recruit the grieving.

[the Deejay]

We do not have a military draft, this woman's son enlisted on his own free will. This woman is grieving, but to blame Bush is ridiculous.

Exactly. This was a 24 yr. old man. Not a 12 yr. old boy, as she makes it sound.

[LowOiL]

This is the woman that wanted to shoot Bush in the groin over and over and over.

Doesn't seem like any Christian lady I know.

[Bonaparte]

Not too hard to figure out this woman's past (and present) political persuasion, is it?

From reading the interview, this appears to be a combination of grief displaced as rage against the Commander-in-Chief and partisan rancor, with perhaps a little mental instability tossed into the mix. I guess she thought her son's death would have been entirely in vain if she couldn't at least use it to promote her political opposition to the war in Iraq.

[backhoe]

Any decent person will feel sympathy for her loss- death is an Iron Curtain, forever shutting off hopes and dreams.

That said, she is a professional malcontent joined with other professional agitators who are no friends of America, or Americans.

[genefromjersey]

There are 2 sides to every issue. As someone who still grieves the loss of a grandchild, I can sympathize with the mother-and I think, if she had had the chance to do so, Laura Bush would have taken the time to sit down and listen.

It would have been more seemly if she had been removed VERY quietly..AND,if some of the insensitive jerks in the audience had not started chanting "Four More Years!" in an effort to drown her out.It was tasteless and unneccessary.

Now, let me look at the OTHER side. There were people-and I know some of them-who didn't give a rat's fanny about this woman,but decided it would be a great idea to egg her on.
If she had come to serious harm, or had managed to harm Mrs. Bush, they would have danced for joy.

One of these "wise counsellors" is an area lawyer,noted for his devotion to left-wing ( and I don't mean Democrat) causes. He is HARD CORE : the kind of guy who sneaks down to Cuba-via Mexico-every so often to visit with Joanne Chesimard: a Black Panther,who murdered a NJ state trooper in cold blood,got broken out of prison, and lives in Cuba under the protection of Fidel.

This lawyer was up to the same crap during the Vietnam war,and could virtually sign his work.

I hope some day the mother is able to work through her grief,but am not optimistic.

Her son-regardless of why he enlisted-was a good officer,who died trying to protect his troops.

"None of us can truly understand what she is going through,"

We are all going to die. Everyone we know is going to die. People are dying all around us, fathers, mothers, sisters brothers, childeren. Some die horribly. Many die before their time--but none of us truly knows what this woman is going through.

Got it.

[vpintheak]

I have no patience, nor do I have any sympathy for a person of this womans' low character. She is grieving for a loss I could not imagine, but that has nothing to do with her violent, hateful, idiotic comments so long after her son died. This woman needs to be put away for a very long time.

[HalleysFifth]

I couldn't help thinking of the five Sullivan brothers who were all killed together in WWII - another American death struggle against unmitigated evil. For those who don't know the story, start here:

[AmericanMade1776]

Sue Sapir-Niederer's son Seth, was an American Hero, he died trying to save others, too bad Sue can not appreciate the sacrifice her Son made, not just for our Country, but for Freedom in Iraq.

Sue Sapir-Niederer, your son, your baby, became a man, and he died defending Freedom. God Bless Seth's mother, thru this difficult time.
