She went there to get arrested. She's an activist, and that's what she does. Getting arrested for the publicity. When you're 90 yrs old, you get more headlines.
Arrested for blocking the entrance to the governor's office.

Agreed, it's the American way. Will do most anything to get on TV to claim their 15 minutes of fame (Andy Warhol).

Europe's news outlets are having a field day with this. Must be penis envy... The Russians are blowing chunks over it.

What was she up to prior to the incident you've reported?

This is a big part of the problem on the street too. People coming from all over to try to get on the news.
Someone should start selling vacation packages for the rioter set-

-Round trip tickets to STL
-One box of throwing sized rocks
-Molotov cocktail starter kit
-gas mask
-plastic dumpster lid to hide behind

All for one low price!

I once burgled an ice cream stand with an older 'acquaintance'. His somewhat aged mother had found and cased the place, she got a cut.

I'll never forget that, sitting around a table in the dining room divvying up the take with 'mom'. She didn't look hard bitten or anything like that either, she looked like a granny, and this was in a nice suburb.
