The Green Party presidential candidate just got arrested for one of the dumbest crimes
BizPack Review ^ | 09/08/16 | Michael Dorstewitz

The Green Party’s presidential and vice presidential candidates were charged for pulling a stunt usually committed by juvenile delinquents — they spray painted graffiti on a bulldozer.

As a result, the Morton County Sheriff Department in North Dakota issued arrest warrants against Jill Stein and her running mate, Ajamu Baraka.

They’ve each been charged with criminal trespass and criminal mischief — both misdemeanors.

 

The incident happened Tuesday when both Stein and Baraka participated in a protest staged by environmentalists and a local Native American tribe against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

 

Evidence includes a photo of Stein spray-painting the word the word “decolonization” as part of the sentence “we need decolonization.”

Her campaign office admits to the act, and Stein remains unapologetic.

Did she tag it with classified information?

This is a bad optic for Hillary. Stein is already pouncing on it.

Dunce? Well, yes, her positions are looney.

But, this is a street-cred building activity. Jill got right down with the demonstrators, spray-painting that dozer. At least she didn’t do a full Rachel Corrie.

You are right that is all she needed to do, and I am sure they would have let her go.

This is absolutely no surprise at all. It is completely in line with the childish Left and their fetishization of protest. Have a sit in. Stick it to the man. Deface the property of big corporations. It was childish when 20-somethings did it. Its downright embarrassing when a 60-something trying to re-live her 20-something days does it.

She just did it for publicity and attention. Getting arrested for stuff like this is a badge of honor for that crowd.

I think this is the moron who wanted to disarm the police.

I don’t know anything about this woman, BUT, what she did wasn’t to bright, and I certainly wouldn’t do it, but look at the difference between what Jill did and what Hillary has done her whole life...

I rest my case...

“I don’t know anything about this woman”

We’ve known Jill for a long time here in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts. Think of her as the moonbat party’s Harold Stassen. Perennial candidate for whatever is open.

She got more free press from this than her entire campaign budget.

Everyone is learning from Trump!
