Jane Fonda returns to civil disobedience for climate change
AP News ^ | 19 Oct 19 | ELLEN KNICKMEYER

Inspired by the climate activism of a Swedish teenager, Jane Fonda says she’s returning to civil disobedience nearly a half-century after she was last arrested at a protest.

Fonda, known for her opposition to the Vietnam War, was one of 17 climate protesters arrested Friday at the U.S. Capitol on charges of unlawful demonstration by what she called “extremely nice and professional” police. Fellow actor Sam Waterston was also in the group, which included many older demonstrators.

Now 81, Fonda said she plans to get arrested every Friday to advocate for urgent reduction in the use of fossil fuels. She hopes to encourage other older people to protest as well.

Maybe we’ll get it right this time and put the b**ch up against a wall and shoot the traitor.

Getting arrested for what? For the sake of a precocious, 16 year old brat? For the sake of the Earth? What idiocy. Hanoi Jane still does not have her mind right, and you would think she would have it figured out by now— God knows He has given her enough time.

I just love getting sanctimonious environmental lectures from someone with the energy consumption of an Iowa class battleship.

Jane is rounding third and is looking for attention in the vein of Carol Burnett as Nora Desmond.

Lock her up and don’t let her out for a few months. See if that changes her attitude.

She should have been arrested by Viet vets. I can see it now...”Shot while trying to escape.”

Send her some super glue, with recommendations of what she can attach herself to in protest. Trains, planes, buses, excavators.
