Sheehan Admits She's a Criminal, Will Refuse to Pay Fine

Earlier I posted about the Girl of Gloom demanding a trial for her protesting without a permit charge. Now we have it in her own words what her defence will be:

"We will try to put on a necessity defense. This is my defense:"

"My dear, sweet boy was killed in Iraq on 04/04/04. He was murdered by an Iraqi insurgent, but George and his lying band of neocon criminals might as well have pulled the trigger. It has been proven over and over again that the thugs lied us into the invasion and are still lying to maintain the occupation."

Uh, actually, no, Cindy. You haven't been paying attention to the news lately, have you? It's been proven time and time again that the administration didn't. On the other hand, you've proven to most sane people that you're a moonbat.

"On 9/26/05, I knew I was breaking the law by sitting on the White House sidewalk without a permit. But, I was sitting there to call attention to the murderers who live and work there. If not for them, I would still have my son and tens of thousands of innocent people would still be alive. Isn't murder a crime? When are those people going to face justice for their war crimes and crimes against humanity?"

Judge, that sounds like an admission of guilt to me.

"Who wants to live free in a world where murderers are allowed to roam free and wreak havoc on innocent citizens and countries?"

"I know I don't."

I know I don't, either. That's why I'm staying right here in the good old US of A. Now, our hapless and humorless Hussy of Hatred could have payed the fine (a bargain at $75.00) and avoided the all-over-but-the-faux-crying conviction she's now going to get. But no, and our fearless flounter-of-law Femme of Fatality is going to face stiffer penalties as a result:

"My attorney, Jon Norris, has informed me that we could be facing up to a 500.00 fine and/or 6 months in jail."

"This seems like a pretty stiff sentence to me for demonstrating without a permit!"

Well, Cindy, you did set out with a goal of breaking the law. But wait! This isn't the end of it! Cindy is planning to further flout the law:

"I am prepared, but I will not be too thrilled, to serve the maximum sentence. I don't think we will get any jail time, but I am certainly not going to pay the fine either!!"

"If I wanted to pay the fine, I would have paid the 75.00 original fine and I would not even have to go to court."

There you have it, folks. I hope the judge hears about her plan...
