Anyone else surprised there is a law like this?

 

[ridetoofast]

fvck me, now we are agreeing in here.

doesn't sound like 1st amendment protection to me

 

[valve bouncer]

For f*cks sake. The retardometer just went off the scale.

Jeeze, fair enough to remove her from the crowd once she'd made her noise, but how is this an offence? "harassing a foreign official" - She didn't hurt him, she didn't even try to get near him, she just let her political opinion be known in a public space. It's lame that that is a crime.

Wait, do you guys really mean to tell me you think its cool when some retard gains a media credential and interrupts a press conference to harass someone, instead of actually ask questions? **** her. Give that ***** the chair.

The retard-in-question, a doctor with a legitmate press pass, started yelling at the foto op. No one was allowed to ask Hu questions.

Frankly, considering the limited access we have with our leaders, I definitely support guerilla protests.

This "doctor" has been known for this kind of behavior in the past, as I understand it. Are you saying that "guerilla protesting" should have no penalty? Should I be able to say, run on stage during the oscars or in the middle of the field during the superbowl and be free from and kind of legal penalty, so long as its political in nature? That's genius.

interesting, your choice of the oscars and the superbowl. i'll let those speak for themselves... ink:

anyway, sure, this lady should have been removed, but 5 years possible jail time? that's absolutely ridiculous.

Well, I dont actually watch the oscars, but I cited those two specifically because they've both been interrupted by "guerilla protests" in the past.
Considering the importance of a meeting between the two most powerful people on the planet, this lady's lost 5 doesnt bother me a bit.

 

[Tenchiro]

Good for her.

For sure turf her out on her ear and give her a kick in the arse but 5 years in the clink? Shirley you can't be serious.

 

[ridetoofast]

i never kid and dont call me shirley

toss her on her ear, jail time...um not, that'd be a nasty precedent for other 'confineable' offenses

I dont know if it works the same everywhere, but a "5 year sentence" means about 1.5 years in the states. Probably less for a crime of this nature.

Possibly a night in the cells for being a pain in the arse but anything more is ridiculous.
I'd be interested to know whether anyone has done time for this offence. I'd doubt it. She's had her 15 minutes, leave it at that.

they should have inoculated something to the woman, you know, russian style.. more stealthy and cool for the cameras...

Both of those events are "private" events. A political meeting of your countries leaders and potential trading partners should be anything BUT private.

How convenient of them to invite him to their country, and then attempt to sweep it all under the rug and just ignore it.

 

[MudGrrl]

I still think it's funny that Hu didn't know how to react when she started yelling.


what a dillhole.

P'r'aps he didn't want to embarrass George by showing some initiative?

To be fair, as a politician from China, on a state visit wanting to embarrass neither yourself, your country, or your host, what can you do? Not a lot. He was probably suprised the SS took so long to deal with her.
