UPDATE
ORIGINAL POST Another post that I wanted to get to during the week, but you already know what happened. What I'm about to post is so absurd, it makes me want to vomit! Desiree Fairooz (61) is a long time member of an activist group called Code Pink, who was arrested on January 10th during Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing. Why was she arrested you may be wondering? Good question, let me break it down for you. Alabama Senator Richard Shelby testified during his opening statement that Session' record of "treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and well documented." **side eye** The amount of bs that this man had said simply made Fairooz quietly laugh, and that ladies and gentlemen is why she was arrested. Yes, you read that correctly, she laughed, and was arrested for laughing! Fairooz was found guilty and convicted last Wednesday of disrupting Congress and demonstating/parading. Each charge is a misdemeanor and carries a maximum 6 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Brief thoughts: this is the dumbest thing I think I've ever heard in my entire life. This woman might go to jail simply for laughing @ a line of pure bullshit. Hell when I read about why she was laughing, I giggled @ what Shelby said too cause it's the most untrue statement a person could make. Jeff Sessions is a known racist who used to refer to black people, no matter how prominent their positions in society as "boy" and "girl," he didn't have a problem with the KKK until he discovered that they smoked weed, HELL I laughed @ what I just typed because Jeff Sessions is the most absurd person in the entire world! Coretta Scott King wrote a letter against him asking that he not be made a federal judge for God's sake! The fact that this woman might go to jail just for laughing @ a absurdly untrue statement, but we can't put officers in jail for killing unarmed people of color really displays what the law deems as important in this country.
