Meanwhile, dumbass Trump in the corner, seething and drooling with rage. “I didn’t get muh peace prize…” and other mumblings that have nothing to do with the case.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as soon as I finished an interview speaking on Venezuela, I was arrested – the only person arrested out of 200 people,” she told the outlet.
Imagine that. 200 protesters, but she was the only one obstructing a roadway. That must have been crazy. 199 protesters safely protesting and this one crazy lady out in the road. /s
They probably have video footage or her uncovered face in the roadway after being instructed to move. Or she may have been doing something to stand out, from others, like yelling, getting close to officers, or organizing.
Even when protesting against a better government, remember to cover your face, especially if you plan to defy officer orders or do something more… extreme.
“Arrested for obstructing a roadway”
Sees that it is plainly a sidewalk
“Failure to obey a lawful command”
Sees her completely cooperative
Everyone knows the crime is Criticizing Dear Leader, but they don’t have the laws in place for that yet so they’re improvising.
“You got an uphill battle here, counselor. She did look at him crossways.”

The protest she was being interviewed about had previously been marching through the street…
Her actual ‘crime’ was organizing the protest.
The protest which was, as far as I can tell, entirely peaceful.
So… yeah.
That’s effectively a crime now.
… do people see why some of us have been calling for more uh, … effective means of resistance, for some time now?
They can and will ‘just arrest everyone’.
They’ll bankrupt the country doing it.
Should make the defence easy though.
Hopefully she can counter sue for first amendment violations.
If you read the article, the violation occurred earlier. They just identified her and arrested her then.
It’s all bullshit obviously, but I doubt the case will be cut and dry if they decide to pursue.

I got the impression she was a leader. It they will arrest you for being in the road, mask up!
The article implies the officers identified her from blocking the roadway prior to the interview along with all the other protesters.
The interview happened after.
But kinda telling of the 200 people they only identified and arrested her.
Note that they apparently didn’t arrest her when they saw her doing it.
They waited until when she was in front of a news cameras again because they wanted to make an example out of her.
