Her frail self managed to travel to DC to protest. Actions have consequences.

What a poor, delicate little flower!
If she's that bloody fragile, maybe she should stay home next time.

Baker, a mother of four and grandmother of two, suffers from myoclonic epilepsy, a degenerative muscle condition that causes her voice to quiver and hands to shake. As she signed in to begin her community service, she struggled to write her name. Oh gee whiz. My heart bleeds just for you granny Baker. They should have given her a couple of weeks of it.

A Judge with a brain in DC? What are we coming to?

methinks there's more to the story.... Like maybe the judge was underwhelmed by the serious nature of her physical condition.

Boo-friggin-hoo. She was well enough to get arrested, she's well enough to sweep streets. Sorry it's not for 8 weeks instead of 8 hours. Probably the only useful work the minister has ever done.

A Judge with a brain in DC? Truly amazing.

She broke the law willfully and wantonly... now the press wants us to feel guilty because she has to face the music for it? Sorry, I don't care if you are 100.. you broke the law, you did so voluntarily... not stop whining and do your punishment.
Actions have consequences... when did this country get so screwed up that people have forgotten that?
To: darkness78
I'm sure here hands were steady enough to hold a sign. Exercise is good granny, push that broom!

I'm a rather fragile, small woman," said Baker,
a hospice chaplain at United Church of Christ in Dallas.
"Being a minister, I offered to do counseling, but this is what they gave me."She needs to quit serving haSatan
with her political action and seek and accept Yah'shua,
L-rd ands Savior of the universe.
b'shem Yah'shua

Lots of fragile women travel from Texas to DC so they can cross a police line.

As my Pops always said...."Cant do the time, don't do the crime.......and don't come whining to me for help."
To: darkness78
Remember when protesters who broke the law to prove a point accepted the consequences for their actions without whining?
Had to be before the 60's and the Vietnam protesting hippies.
