77. well..

my point is that there are countless pictures of her with what appears to be a smile on her face while she is being arrested at various events. Of course I don't think she's happy about it.
I think you missed my point entirely.

She is obviously being dragged & manhandled in the two pictures I saw of this latest arrest. One picture has her being dragged on the ground. The other has her being dragged & shoved while standing, with her shirt & jacket lifted up and her belly exposed. They are obviously not treating a peaceful protester nicely. However, in both photos she has what appears to be a big grin on her face.

I can recall several other arrests where she was smiling as she was being led away. At first, I thought it was a nervous smile. But either way, the smile is a problem.

I am certain she isn't enjoying being roughed around. However, when she has a big grin on her face while she's being hauled away, it makes it appear as if she is happy to be arrested. It makes it look as if this is her goal. When you add to this the fact that many in the media add to the myth that she's just looking for celebrity (notice the quote by Richard Grenell, the spokesman for the U.S. Mission, in today's article, about how she supposedly was invited in to talk, but instead layed down in front of the door, and he called it a "media stunt"... who knows if that is bull****, but it was stated as fact).

My point is that the grin ends up being the story - not Casey, and not the others who are dying every day.

I'm not making light of how they treat her.
