MOTHER OF SLAUGHTERED US SOLDIER ARRESTED FOR T-SHIRT
The mother of a US soldier slaughtered in a war based on lies is arrested for free expression, a value her son was told he was fighting for.

UN......FUCKING........BELIEVABLE.

1. I heard she was trying to unfurl something.
Commentator said so just before speech I think I was watching NBC.

2. Well, that commentator was wrong.
It was a t-shirt. AP, CNN and MSNBC are now reporting that. She was taken away in handcuffs for wearing a shirt that said "2245 ... How many more?"

4. See these photos. No evidence of anything suspicious. No banner,
No visible t-shirt.

If she did wear the t-shirt, WHO CARES? Is it against the rules? A banner, I can understand. Stating a fact about the number of dead is not an "anti-war" statement. It is a STAEMENT OF FACT, and FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!

5. I'm starting to think the t-shirt, if such a t-shirt exists, had NOTHING
to do with it.

7. The British press will have a fairly straight scoop, I'd think.
