Police arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan Monday during a protest outside the White House.
Sheehan and several dozen other protesters had sat down on the sidewalk after marching along a pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue.Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along. Then, officers began making arrests.
Really? Did they get all 29?
Yes, I'm aware she managed to gather a crowd of 500, including communists, anarchists, undercover officers, confused tourists and members of the media, but can anyone tell me why a misdemeanor loitoring ticket furthers "the cause?"
The Anchoress goes further, and comes up with a disturbing prediction of where Mother Sheehan might end up next.
Update: Now they are saying that hundreds were arrested in front of the White House. These numbers are sure to tribble into thousands by lunch time today, I'm sure.
