Do we know what the legal situation is with this woman, any comments from ACLU or other groups? Because I would donate just to this case to get appealed, this is nonsense.

"'Why do men feel threatened by women?' I asked a male friend of mine. [...] 'I mean,' I said, 'men are bigger, most of the time, they can run faster, strangle better, and they have on the average a lot more money and power.' 'They're afraid women will laugh at them,' he said.' 'Undercut their world view.' Then I asked some women students in a quickie poetry seminar I was giving, 'Why do women feel threatened by men?" 'They're afraid of being killed,' they said."

Maybe I should edit the image to remove the quotes and just post that.

Just cut out the interesting parts, sounds better too:

'Why do men feel threatened by women?' [...] 'They're afraid women will laugh at them.'
[...]'Why do women feel threatened by men?' 'They're afraid of being killed,'

Preserves the actual wording.

 

[cheezcake]

What the actual fuck

 

[BrutishMrFish]

Jesus. Not even Russia convicted Pussy Riot for just fucking laughing.

Jeff Sessions is absolutely vile. Fuck every Republican who helped confirm him.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Completely fucked up.

 

[IrishNinja]

Fuck Jeff "KKKeebler Klansman" Sessions.

all day, god i hate this dude
in the correct timeline sessions wouldn't be in charge of anything larger than a rural arby's

 

[Violence Jack]

If she is actually put in jail for this (I don't feel like she will be), I would be all for starting a group that just goes around pointing and laughing at Sessions wherever he goes. Maybe we could even get his mistress in on it.

 

[shawnbuddy]

We're living in a tinpot dictatorship.

 

[Not]

Yup.

 

[Psychoward]

The saving grace of this is that even if our fucked justice department ends up following through with any charges, Sessions is closer than most of us to death. Amen.

 

[broncobuster]

Guilty.

NYT: "Code Pink Protesters at Sessions Hearing Could Face Year in Prison"

On the front page we have this thread and the Alton Sterling thread. And this is the guilty one?

 

[LiquidSword]

Hey guys, just remember the Bundy's and their militias took over a federal building and terrorized a town for weeks and got off scot free. Everyone just imagined that they did those things I guess. Looks like they will get away with the standoff in Nevada too. First group trial had a hung jury. This country disgusts me.

 

[Kart94]

Jeff Sessions is a Special snowflake. He needs his safe space. That woman laughing offended him.

 

[Host Samurai]

TBF I've always laughed at this pic of him. Looks like a doofus.

 

[Not]

The saving grace of this is that even if our fucked justice department ends up following through with any charges, Sessions is closer than most of us to death. Amen.

The "all of my personal failures can be blamed on progressives" alt-right morons aren't.

I had actually completely forgotten about those fuckwits, thanks for reminding me. Just makes this mess even more ridiculous. They can get off completely free but this is the person that needs to be locked up? Nonsense, just pure nonsense.

 

[Psychoward]

Ya know, not a lot of things in America have surprised me recently, but this did. Hoping the ACLU puts in work.

 

[FStubbs]

 

[Psychoward]

Oh definitely, I'm not one of the people who falsely believes racism will die mostly in America with Sessions' generation's absence, but it's the little things.

Same! It's been a while

Not sure how to feel about that reaction

 

[Maintenance]

If this exact story, with little changed, happened in NK today, imagine what this thread would look like.

"NUKE 'EM"




Probably.

 

[Breads]

Cops can knock the teeth out of our kids and kill our people and be A-OK though.

Fuck you.

 

[Jackpot]

Mods should update the thread title with the guilty verdict.

 

[Buckle]

This story makes my blood boil.

So fucking petty.

 

[Deku Tree]

I thought these folks were all about free speech and anti political correctness?

 

[Not]

What's that old line about women being scared of men killing them and men being scared of women laughing at them?

Sessions is a kindergartener in a gross old body.

 

[Link]

We're living in a tinpot dictatorship.

Yep. Happening faster than I thought it would, too.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

I thought these folks were all about free speech and anti political correctness?

only if you don't cause harm to their safe spaces

 

[Not]

I thought these folks were all about free speech and anti political correctness?

Literally only when it comes to straight white males saying bad things about other classes. LITERALLY that's it.

Oh, except of course, as we've seen with #FireColbert or Trump criticisizing Jay Z saying "fuck," when it's convenient

 

[dan2026]

How the fuck can this possibly be a jail time worthy offence?

Free speech my arse.

 

[itwasTuesday]

 

[DrROBschiz]

Is there precedence for something like this?

Seems absolutely overreaching and ridiculous

This better get thrown the fuck out

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I'm watching this tv show as well and recommend it. I wonder how ridiculous this show would have seemed if it came out like 5 years earlier.

Well I mean the book was written in 1985 so...

 

[itchyass86]

This reminds me of the book Gulliver's Travels when Gulliver goes to the island of Lilliput. There he finds that the Lilliputians settle politics through extremely trivial manners.

Can't believe this is happening in real life.

 

[MarionCB]

I'm shocked a jury could reach this verdict. This is utterly despicable and indefensible. Sessions is a truly laughable piece of shit.

 

[Buckle]

Its like something I would expect somebody to get convicted over in the 1800s, not today.

 

[Gallbaro]

To the laws they applied, she is guilty.

The constitutionality of those laws is amazingly questionable. Especially in DC.

 

[chefbags]

Literally only when it comes to straight white males saying bad things about other classes. LITERALLY that's it.

Yep. They ain't trying to hide that fact either. Motherfuckers been doing this in public view for all to see and they don't give a fuck.

 

[Journeywalker]

I would argue that she didn't start "demonstrating" until she was being forcefully removed. She wouldn't have "demonstrated" unless security unlawfully tried to remove her for laughing at unintentional satire.

Additionally, you really think that qualifies as disorderly conduct? If so, we might as well be a police state because most people would start protesting in some fashion if they were being forcefully removed for no good reason.

 

[afternoon delight]

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Found guilty.

*opens window, screams at the top of his lungs at the world. *

 

[Buckle]

Are you FUCKING kidding me..

 

[SmackAttack]

*opens window, screams at the top of his lungs at the world. *

I'll join you.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Can she sue Sessions for perjury? He's supposed to work for the people and her right?

 

[Turbo Killer]

So glad this menacing 61 year old woman will be behind bars, justice is served.

 

[water_wendi]

Fucking talk about being a snowflake. This is bullshit.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Holy shit, isn't this a remarkably bad precedent to set?

 

[ZOONAMI]

Jesus no one on the jury wasn't cool with this? I get the vitriol in this thread but damn just surprised the jury went with it.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

What the hell...this is some serious bullshit. A year in prison for laughing? You've got to be kidding me.

 

[DangerMouse]

Sessions committed perjury and she's on trial before him because of laughing.

Laughing is more a crime than perjury.

This.

What in the actual fuck?! This is fucking insane....

thisisbullshit.gif was never more appropriate.
