Protester who climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty convicted on all counts.

Her name is Therese Okoumou and she's obnoxious as h-e-double police sticks. The police had to climb up the base to where she tucked in under the statue's sandal.

She forced thousands of statue visitors to evacuate while she pulled off her stunt.

Her group of 40 protestors carried a banner with words calling for the abolishment of I.C.E., the department that protects U.S. citizens from the likes of herself. Basically, "get rid of this agency that protects you from me."

She carried on drawing attention to herself for 4 hours.

Now, that's a proper flounce.

Then she appeared in court with messages all over her clothing such as "No human is illegal on stolen land."

She claimed her protest was an act of conscience. She quoted Sir Thomas More from A Man For All Seasons about breaking laws to confront the devil, "And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you -- where would you hide?"

Michael Avenatti gets into the act advising Okoumou and restating the misleading trope about "Trump administration's draconian policies of separating children from parents, stripping children from mothers ... (more non-sequitur stuff that make him sound perfectly malevolently idiotic.)"

Guilty of trespassing, disorderly conduct and interfering with government functions. She could get 18 months.

Is that all? A year and a half max? After all that trouble for everyone and drama?

Wow. That's really a cool statue. Now I want to climb on it.

Nice to see a little justice for the Reds.

In Moore?

Because the article had Sir Thomas More, and as reading I go, "THAT AIN'T RIGHT!" and I added an "o" without checking.

*checks*

GODDAMNIT!

Thank you.

Protestor looked wrong too.

When I enter "protestor" I get no correction. Even in this editor right now.

When I check [protestor vs protester] it says "protester" is correct. And that doesn't get corrected right here either.

It must be one of those words with two acceptable spellings.
