Jill Stein, political candidate, was arrested at peaceful gathering of protesters at Washington University

She spoke on Scripps News this morning and complained that, although the group of people she was protesting with at the university against genocide in Gaza were totally peaceful, she was assaulted by one of the bands of military police on bikes, who repeatedly jammed his handlebars into her.
Ms. Stein said that many of these police are trying to 'create a riot'.
As I watched this tv report, it seemed to me that most of those attacked physically or arrested were those in obviously Muslim and Jewish garments and people of color.

... now, she can check off the "[ ] Got arrested protesting the Genocide" box. Still, I think she will be a little disappointed... I've seen no "STEIN ARRESTED AT PROTEST!" clips. Probably, she will try to get something higher profile, next time.

Wonder if she'll change her tune or continue in her "Chickens for Col. Sanders" insanity?

Those votes came overwhelmingly from the Left. Stupid is as stupid does and those people are still out there and this year they will vote for somebody other than Biden and even if they consider him to be the lesser of 2 evils and they consider themselves to be too righteous and noble to bring themselves to do that.
