Yeah, I think I'm with you on this one. There are a whole lotta people who get arrested and released on bail pending their day in court who've committed far more egregious acts than showing a little boob. This seems silly.

She was making a political statement by recreating the symbol that appears on every Virginia state flag, and presumably is displayed in the judge’s courtroom. She was not asking to be raped or even be seduced on the capitol steps.

Covering parts of one’s body leads to arousal when they are exposed in the proper intimate settings. Women’s breasts among many people whose cultures developed in hot climates aren’t considered to be sexually arousing because they’re left uncovered much of the time. If a man will be aroused to the point of loss of self-control by the glimpse of a woman’s nipple in a setting like the one described, he’d better stay out of medical fields or even law enforcement, because it will happen to him.

In our culture it’s considered as partial nudity and usually done in sexual settings, we don’t live in Africa. Having to be unclothed for medical procedures is a different animal since it’s an expectation. Nobody expects a sane woman to bare here breasts at any state capitol. There are serial killers and serial rapists aroused by lesser things. You make it seem normal if it’s not yet in our culture. Nevertheless I don’t agree with the judge.

The problem with arresting her, and then trying to hold her without bond, is that it just give her more publicity.

We all know that protests really don't matter. I see protest all the time. Maybe they get a blurb on the news, then are immediately forgotten. If she hadn't been arrested, she probably wouldn't have been on the news. The only reason she flashed some skin was explicity to get more publicity, and get on the news. By arresting her, and even more trying to hold her without bond, she got way more publicity than she otherwise would.

Not that if they just let her do her shtick and leave, we would have likely never heard of her.

Holding someone without bond on a nonviolent misdemeanor is unusual. Supporters of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment said Michelle Renay Sutherland, 45, is a political prisoner.

Why did the judge do this?
He just brought more attention to her... which is probably what she wanted.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Well, by the looks of the photo, the cities of Chesterfield and Chester should also file. I think the sag was that far south.

She should have done this one state south.

A woman can walk around bare-breasted all day in NC and not be in violation of any law.

She trolled the judge, and won bigly.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I honestly see the "free the nipple" crowd as I do the rifle open carry crowd.

Yes, it is your right (in states where it's legal).
Yes it draws attention (both good and bad).

Yes I think you're an moron, but I will continue to support your right to be one.

I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

I have always dreamed of going to New Jersey and protesting their gun control with my dick hanging out.

Just remember, if it's less than 16", you may need a tax stamp. Wink

What utter stupidly.

We have an awesome flag (way better than the ugly ass MD flag that Marylanders put all over everything single thing they can). I love her protest, I may or may not agree with her, but I love what our flag stands for, and I love our First Amendment. Give her a fifty dollar ticket and let her go, or recognize her 1A Rights and let her off.

It's not like she was flashing random 8 year olds and high on meth. If you can light our prescious flag on fire in protest, you can certainly reenact my state's flag in protest.
