"Taser, taser.... use the TASER!"
They tend to resist arrest by violently hitting the fists and the boots of areesting LEOs with different parts of their bodies. The more vicious ones even cause serious damage to police batons, I've heard.

Sheehan was attending an "alternative state of the union" press conference by CODEPINK, a group pushing for an end to the Iraq war.

That should read, "...CODEPINK, a group pushing for the defeat of America in Iraq."

"The t-shirt story is a lie." ?

That is the story in the article which started this thread. Why do you claim it's a lie?

im suprised they let her in, and the person that gave her a ticket has very poor judgement.

areesting=arresting

[Gordongekko909]

Representative Woolsey, D-Cali, invited her. They couldn't give her the boot until she did something stupid.

From the article-"Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said."

[Gordongekko909]

Of course she has poor judgment. She's Rep. Woolsey, D-Cali. What were you expecting from someone with a D in front of her name?

[Fielding]

It gives me a warm feeling to know that some part of our government is working. The Secret Service does yeoman work.

[ozoneliar]

If it gives her more "fodder" (no pun intended?) that will be helpful in the hoped for challenge to DiFi.

Would you really want Cindy instead of Difi? And if you think Cindy would for sure lose, I would never underestimate the stupidity of voters. And Cindy is the person I want to see in Congress.

this is just classic!

Both of these twits should have been thrown over the railing.

[Echo Talon]

She allowed in a fruitcake, maybe she should be punished somehow?
