Imagine your mother or grand-mother pepper sprayed! They may be carrying bombs or semi-automatic weapons. Mine carry lip-stick and sometimes gum; but you never know. Little old ladies these days are dangerous!!!!!
Rainey was among a group of Seattle protesters scattered by police on Tuesday. A pregnant 19-year-old woman was also reportedly hit by pepper spray Tuesday, The Associated Press reported, though police haven't confirmed the incident.
A priest was also among those pepper sprayed during the protesters' march from their camp at Seattle Central Community College to Westlake Park, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Police officers on bicycles attempted to block the protesters' way. After tensions mounted, the police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Good, let's clear the streets of priests and pregnant women and old ladies. More room for the Ferrari driving super rich to jet off to St. Barts.
Just Gross.

ReplyDeleteToo many people are only willing to defend rights that are personally important to them. It's selfish ignorance, and it's exactly why totalitarian governments are able to get away with trampling on people. Freedom does not mean freedom just for the things I think I should be able to do. Freedom is for all of us. If people will not speak up for other people's rights, there will come a day when they will lose their own.
