Sheehan: I Felt 'Humiliated'

Capitol Police may have dropped charges against antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and apologized, but that apparently hasn't made her any less angry over her arrest, or how she was treated as it happened.

Sheehan was one of two people kicked out of the audience of President Bush's State of the Union address in t-shirt-related incidents Tuesday night, but she was the only one arrested, on unlawful conduct counts.

She was wearing a t-shirt that alluded to the number of soldiers killed in Iraq: "2245 Dead. How many more?"

Also removed was Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young, R-Fla., whose t-shirt had the opposite message: "Support the Troops — Defending Our Freedom."

Sheehan was taken away in handcuffs before Mr. Bush's arrival at the Capitol and charged with a misdemeanor, while Young left the gallery and therefore was not arrested, said Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer in a statement.

Gainer apologized, saying, "The officers made a good faith, but mistaken effort to enforce an old unwritten interpretation of the prohibitions about demonstrating in the Capitol.

"The policy and procedures were too vague," he added. "The failure to adequately prepare the officers is mine."

But, back home in Los Angeles Wednesday, Sheehan told Linda Alvarez of CBS station KCBS-TV, "They violated my civil rights they humiliated me. They treated me like, instead of having just a t-shirt on, I had a weapon."

Sheehan was a guest of California Democratic Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey.

The picture of her "spread eagle" on her son's markerless grave has got to be the most humiliating thing I ever saw!

[LRS]

She should have been cavity searched and blood tested. This traitor has been hanging around with enemies of the nation. She could have been carrying anything into the Capitol Building...

Humiliated? I suspect that either now or at some time in the future, she actually could be a security threat to our president. This woman is unstable enough to go over the edge at any time.

a t-shirt that alluded to the number of soldiers killed in Iraq: "2245 Dead. How many more?" Alluded? It was blunt.

What goes around comes around. She's been trying to humiliate the veterans who secure her right to try and do so.

Humiliated? One must have some class and dignity to feel humiliated.

[massgopguy]

She has no brain.

[yobid]

My friend has a theory that she's actually glad, in a sick narcissistic way, that her son died so that she can trot around the world and get this kind of attention that she would, for obvious reasons, never have gotten before.
