[lies and propaganda]

9. do you know why they have been arrested? n/t

[az chela]

11. protesting by bush's mansion ,they all sat down in the road

and the cops hauled them all off to jail

[lies and propaganda]

17. Ahhh... the ole Sitting in Front of an Asshole's Home charge.

Ridiculous. An aberration on so many levels.

[femrap]

10. Hope Cindy and her friends are out of

jail very soon. Sending them all positive thoughts.

[az chela]

13. Her son was told it would be tomorrow

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. If Not Getting Arrested Further Was Part Of The Probation (Which I'm Sure It Was), Then She Could Be

found in violation of probation and immediately placed in jail after the judge determines that. He may just admonish her, however.

What was she arrested for?

[az chela]

15. Would the court ruling in new york apply to Texas???

They were protesting the meeting at bush's with cheney and baker and kindasleezy,they were protesting against any surge in troops being sent to Iraq

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. If She Has A Probation Officer Assigned To Her In NYC, Then She Must Notify Them Of This Arrest.

And they would have the choice of issuing her a summons to appear in court for a violation of probation. Maybe they wouldn't. I don't know. But yes, generally any arrest in any state needs to be reported to a probation officer.

[az chela]

19. We cant find that out.Her son will call as soon as he hears anything

[Greg Helmsley]

36. If my guess is correct

If she doesn't, she would be facing up to 5 years in prison.

[midnight]

42. A grieving mother who wants to question the lies of this war

given five years in prison. Now that does take the cake.

[Greg Helmsley]

44. Thats only for not reporting her arrest to her NY parole officer.

[tammywammy]

24. Here's a link on the arrest

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/28/sheehan.arrest/index.html?section=cnn_latest

Sheehan, who in the past has camped out for weeks in protest outside the ranch in Crawford, Texas, was arrested for blocking the road leading to the property, Texas Department of Public Safety's Tela Mange told CNN.

Four others were also arrested after law enforcement officials asked the group to move and they refused, Mange said.

" told us if you want us to get out of the road, you're going to have to arrest us," Mange said. "So we did."

The protesters lay in the road about 20 minutes before being taken into custody, she said.

[Hissyspit]

21. Thank you for keeping us posted, AZ.

Cindy continues to be the conscience of the nation, despite the naysayers.

[az chela]

23. I am just worried about the probation thing in new york and

I am worried about Cindy's son,he is in Waco and doesnt know what to do.They told him she would be held overnight

[Hissyspit]

28. Here is a link to AP article. It says that her lawyer doesn't think there will be a problem

with New York charges.

Iraq War Critic Arrested Near Bush Ranch

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and four other protesters were arrested Thursday for blocking a road near President Bush's ranch, authorities said, snagging Vice President Dick Cheney's motorcade in a traffic jam.

Sheehan and the others lay or sat in the road about 20 minutes and didn't heed requests to move, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. R.T. King said.

"They weren't going unless they were arrested," King told The Associated Press. He said Cheney's motorcade was among the vehicles delayed by the demonstration.

- snip -

Earlier this month in New York, Sheehan was convicted of trespassing for leading a protest across the street from the United Nations.

A judge sentenced her to conditional discharge. Sheehan's attorney, Robert Gottlieb, said Thursday that meant she will not face any punishment as long as they lead a "law-abiding life" for the next year.

"There is nothing to say that what she was arrested for today means that she is not living a law-abiding life," Gottlieb told the AP. "She may in fact be innocent."

He said he didn't think Thursday's arrest would result in any problems in New York.

22. I wouldn't have blamed her if she took a six-month vacation. n/t

[AnotherMother4Peace]

25. K&R - She's so brave. She helped expose bush for who he is - a coward.

Afraid to meet with her outside his Crawford home. She had him holed up with her presence.

27. Cindy deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and...

...hopefully the next President will award her work...

Go Cindy!!!

[shireen]

29. should we start a collection in DU to help with bail and court expenses?

We've done fund-raising before. What's the procedure to have it allowed on DU? Would Cindy and Andy accept our help?

[az chela]

30. I have never been prouder to be a part of DU than I am right

now.We really are family.Shireen I thank you from the bottom of my heart for offering to help Cindy and the other protestors.If they are given bail in the morning they have the money to get out,they just have to wait for the judge.

[Tsiyu]

31. Where are the other parents who have lost a child in this war?

This really does seem like overkill on the part of the Cabal in Crawdad. They are getting desperate, no?

People are going to get sick of them harrassing her, even if TPTB have manipulated the media into submission on the story. Hers is a name that people pay attention to, for better or worse, and given the current sentiment against this war, she'll come out the better.

Strong-arming her is only going to hurt them, but they lack the judgement to see this.





Which is why her son died.





Kicking and keep us posted. :kick:

[midnight]

32. The sad part is you are right about the leaders in the White House

lacking judgement. Cindy we are thinking of you. My hope is that you and the others that were arrested remain unharmed.

[NoSheep]

38. Lying to themselves.

[malaise]

33. Go Cindy

You are a real hero not like that fugging coward Bush.

[Dinger]

34. Kick For Exposure

Cuz we sure ain't hearing about it anywhere else. This is sickening. When will this stop? When????

[AngryAmish]

35. Crush them, Cindy!

[byronius]

37. She carries the weight for all of us. n/t

[Bobbie Jo]

39. Hang tough Cindy!!!...n/t

[ooglymoogly]

41. k&r this now will occupy my mind untill i know she and her group

[onecent]

43. I love Cindy. Stay strong, we are with you. K & R
