Cindy Sheehan: Why I Want to Shut Down Rikers (OpEd)
Eurasia Review ^ | October 17, 2015 | Cindy Sheehan

Posted on 10/20/2015 9:00:21 AM PDT by simpson96

Before my son was killed in Iraq, I wouldn’t say that I “respected” or “feared” authority—that’s never been in my nature. However, looking back, I think I was terrified of crossing the proverbial line. Relating my rude awakening and experiences since then, I know that the line is drawn by the violent empire and arbitrarily re-drawn whenever it suits the needs of the Police State.

Since my son Casey was killed in another US imperial war based on lies and waged for profit and I have become an anti-Empire activist, I have now been arrested too many times to keep track: I stopped counting at 20.

Besides the frustration of being “popped” for exercising my so-called constitutional rights, the many, many hours I have spent in jail have been ultra eye opening to me.

I have been in holding cells with fellow activists (of course), accused sex-workers, drug addicts, petty thieves, embezzlers, drug dealers, and once with a woman who had stabbed her common law husband (after years of abuse). 100% of the others arrested have been “crimes” of economic deprivation. I have NEVER once been in jail with a War or Wall Street Criminal.

It is an antiquated hellhole

I would not want my kid in there for long

But you have to have somewhere to sweep the trash

Her 15 minutes are long done. Despite her “motherly” claim, she had nothing to do with Casey’s life. He disassociated himself from her long before he Army’d up.

War criminals are held elsewhere, Cindy, as are “white collar” criminals.
You got yourself into the general riffraff holding pen.

You gotta admit it’s impressive when somebody becomes a complete parody of themselves.

"I have NEVER once been in jail with a War or Wall Street Criminal."

When you spend all your time with garbage, it stands to reason that's who you end up with.

As an aside, I wonder if she has yet to put two and two together, as to why she has gotten virtually ZERO press from the MSM since 2009.

I take a resurrected Cindy as a good sign that a Republican will soon re-occupy the White House.

Ah, “Mother” Sheehan.

Desperate to be relevant again.

RIP Casey. Too bad you didn’t have the mother you deserved.

Those people, many of them, have poor character-—no morality-—no Virtue embedded in early childhood, Cindy dear.

I have known moral people who are dirt poor and would never end up in jail. This connection between “jail” and “poverty”——is a socialist joke-—irrational and dumb.

People without Virtue are NOT moral and will be evil and do evil, vile things to others and destroy or steal private property.

It is why Common Core destroys Virtue in children——they want puerile, immature Minds so they have happy slaves-—like the obamaphone lady and Cindy.

Without Virtue, there is no Freedom possible. Vice makes slaves.

Cindy was one of the ones brainwashed in our Prussian system of “group think”-—which destroys the ability to “Know” the Truth and think as an individual. She is programmed into a sick, warped collective mindset. She is just a puppet.

Did you know her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq? Her and Lurch Kerry should get together for a pity party.

Question for the nut job: Are you going to vote for SWMNBN? The one who voted to send your son to die?

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin’ on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it’s dangerous,
But it sure beats Riker’s
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers
