Charges Dropped

Well gee, what a surprise, they dropped the "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" charges against the mother of a 12 year old who was arrested occupying her senator's office.

Original article HERE.

What really steams my cheese is that even with the charges being dropped, there' still a record of her being cited. Having the charges dropped doesn't wipe the slate clean in any way. This was still done as a means of intimidation, and to chill dissent-and the officer that cited her hasn't been reprimanded. That's apparently how things are done-absurd charges are leveled against people and no one is held accountable for it. Swell. But don't let that stop you from exercising your protected rights to political speech.
