More Moonbat News - 4 Convicted In Bloody US Flag Case
Naturally they're not called liberal peace activists.BINGHAMTON, N.Y. --Four peace activists who spilled human blood on an American flag to protest the war in Iraq were convicted Monday of damaging governmental property, but escaped the most serious charge against them. Too bad... The four members of Catholic Worker, a social justice organization, were acquitted of conspiracy to impede an officer of the United States, said group spokesman Tarik Abdelazim. They also were convicted of entering a military recruiting station for unlawful purposes. Looks like they'll get some justice now! The defendants -- Daniel Burns, 45; Peter DeMott, 58; and sisters Teresa Grady, 39; and Clare Grady, 46 -- splattered their blood on the windows and walls, posters, pictures and an American flag at an Army and Marine Corps recruiting station near Ithaca, about 65 miles south of Syracuse. Real class acts... The Ithaca residents were arrested March 17, 2003. Dubbed "the St. Patrick's Four," the group said that under international law they were not guilty of a crime, and compared their actions to those of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Susan B. Anthony. Talk about an overinflated sense of self worth! "That blood was already on the flag," Clare Grady testified. "We just made it visible." I'm not Perry Mason, but I don't see that being a statement my lawyer would advise me to make... A previous trial in Tompkins County Court ended when the jury deadlocked. The U.S. District Court jury deliberated about eight hours over two days. Nice knowing y'all... Posted by: Raj 2005-09-26 |
