No Wonder Condi Looks Pissed

Via Hecate, I see my friend Des has some GREAT news!

Desiree Fairooz was initially charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of disorderly conduct for telling Condoleezza Rice,"The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands!"

Judge Ringell honored her actions by referring to Thoreau, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King, all models of resistance, and explained how they understood they would eventually spend time in jail for their acts. He told Desiree," Some day you'll have to accept the consequences of your acts, but not in this forum [his court]." He found her guilty of "disorderly conduct" and could have given her 90 days in jail, but instead he sentenced her to 5 days suspended sentence, 3 months of unsupervised probation, and $50 for a mandatory victim's fund.

Not only do such heroes understand they'll spend time in jail, often they actively court arrest and imprisonment as it can be a useful tactic.  Regardless, I'm so pleased that this "offense" was weighed and found not to be worthy of any time in the clink.

On a personal note, I will be starting a Bikeathon push very, very soon to raise monies that will help me pay for my next stay at the Code Pink DC House.  I'm extremely anxious to get back down there and work with Des, Liz, Ellen, Gael, Leslie, Jes, and all the other awesome Pinkers later this month!
