She probably expected the ACLU to save her up to the end. Good riddance.

No, she expected the bulldozer to stop.

This is somewhat akin the to the guy who laid down on a railroad track in front of a train pulling out from a California armory. The train severed his legs, a not unexpected result to a reasonable person. But the now legless guy's reaction was total outrage that the train didn't stop.

I could say I sympathized in a way, but I didn't.

We had an expression from high school days: "Well, cut off my legs and call me Shorty."

What did that mean? It was a joke. I don't remember any classmates laying down in front of a train and expecting it to stop.
