I just had a horrible thought: they'll arrest Cindy in the middle of the |
|
night
No cameras
We are living in a police state
Wasn't killing her son enough George?
What are you going to do- send her to Gitmo?
I actually feel ill
I want my country back

5. Too many people there not to get the full |
|
story of what they might do to her. She has a lot of guts. I understand her pain, she has nothing to lose now, she has lost it already....

6. Im sure some of her friends will have cameras |

Just hope they arent confiscated.One should stay at far enough of a distance not to get arrested.

7. I'd expect it to be covered live under bright lights. |
|
I'm hoping she'll do something really impressive, like scream "he killed my son!" over and over while being dragged away in cuffs.

8. Nope, a quick, brutal statement delivered calmly would be better |
|
that way no one can use it to discredit her (hysterical woman threat to national security, could harm Georgie in her state of mind)

Only by being loud and painful to hear will people take notice.
Remember the quiet and peaceful protest at the Republican National Convention? Neither does anybody else.

that as of Thursday, she will be a national security risk. Ridiculous. G.W. Bush & Crew are THE national security risk. Somehow I feel there will be cameras. Wishful thinking?

19. They might not be, as they are as you know |
|
spokespeople for Bushco.
But we'll make sure that they get pressured to be all over it...

Excellent question.
Email this question to the white house and msm. MSM should ask this question as they drag a grieving mom away in cuffs.
I'd like an answer.

14. That will make Cindy not only a heroine, but a recognized heroine. |
|
Cindy is doing what is right, what comes from her heart. She can't go wrong. Bush feigns conviction and sincerity. Cindy lives it. Bush has wretched Cindy's greatest love, her son, from Cindy forever, and for nothing. He claims he feels remorse, but his claim is not believable. Cindy lives in reality; Bush lives in a foggy illusion. Cindy is living the truth. Bush is living a lie. Cindy will prevail although it may take time.

15. What are the odds that * is bluffing? |
|
Does he really want to arrest a non-violent protester - who has not broken a single law - on national television? That would be a stupid move, even for *.

16. Shoot, look at all the other stupid stuff he has done and gotten away with |
|
and the worst part is, I think even he will get away with this.
Until MASSIVE amounts of people camp out on his lawn, MASSIVE, it makes me cringe to say this, but I just don't think he gives a rat's ass.

18. I have no illusions about what Bushco can do... |

We need to make sure of 2 things, in order to help Cindy:
1 - Make sure that somebody (anybody) is with her at all times, with a camera in hand, to take pics of her being arrested even if they do it in the stealth of night when the press is not there.
2 - Make sure that she cannot be "disappeared", and that if she gets arrested, people are demonstrating everywhere possible to know where she is and what her status is.
What she is doing is extremely important to all of us, I think. Willing to get arrested is a very brave, and very powerful thing.
And I hope someone always keeps us posted on what we can do to help!
