    Oh, you again hahahah.

    Anyways, you are putting out hyperbole. She's not facing 18 months. They are pressing some small charges against her and some other protestors, and the max prison time could be 18 months.

    Still bullshit, but they'd have to make the charges stick first, which will require video evidence.

    Every news article I’ve ever read that contained the phrase ‘facing [x] months in prison’ chose the maximum possible sentence for x. That’s just what that phrase is meant to convey, that the law allows for a punishment as high as [x] months.

    Example: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/congresswoman-8-months-pregnant-facing-120000922.html

    How sad do you have to be to say this about someone on trial for protesting against genocide. You are a terrible human being.

    I guess the Republicans have finally run out of uses for her.

    What a crazy comment to state someone should work 10 hours for free because they got assaulted while protesting genocide. All because you want to promote your pro genocide party.

    I think we should all do community service. I love doing trash pickups and Beach cleanups and community events and I try to do them every single week. I think if you want to maintain a healthy Community it's up to all of us to contribute communally.

    And I absolutely think Jill Stein of all people would be doing way better for everybody in the world by picking up some trash than anything she normally does, which is entirely to her own benefit. For someone who claims to care about gaza, she sure seems to be good friends with a lot of Benjamin netanyahu's friends.

    Doesn't seem like she is good friends with them if she's getting 18 months. Friends don't put friends in prison.

    She's not getting 18 months come on. The post I made up here that was removed for trolling (lol) was linking to an article and quoting that they had offered her 10 hours of community service and no admission to guilt as a plea. That the prosecutor on the case had already tried to dismiss the case. Funny how facts and context was trolling hmmm.

    The only reason this is still even a story because she wants it to be a story. It's a political stunt she's using to stay relevant. Because remember what's important is she stays relevant she didn't give a shit about the cause.

    Yeah everyone is out to get you. You are very oppressed by the evil mods. 🙄

    Let's assume she's a psychopath political operator and Russian plant and this is all a calculated move to improve her brand.

    Why won't any Democrats go out and get arrested like this? Are they stupid?
