Meanwhile, DeSantis-backed, self-reported felon School Board Member Rick Nolte continues to enjoy complete immunity and silence from the Polk sheriff and state attorney.
I have called Canady’s office numerous times for a plethora of reasons and never get a response. The latest being her position on allowing nazis to demonstrate in downtown Lakeland. While we all have the right to protest, we all know the history behind this hate group and the what they embody as a “group”— Canady refuses to publicly ridicule such demonstrations of hate and tell her constituents that she doesn’t support this extremist organization. Canady and Judd’s silence on this event further the belief they are just as complicit in proliferating the culture wars. Also, a megaphone was used during that demonstration and the (user) was not arrested for that … while not long ago a teenager was arrested during a reproduction rights protest for using a megaphone.
Nobody proves the pen's might more than you my friend! I pray journalists are kept safe in this ever widening retribution machine that is comprised of Tallywhackers... but if Micky and Minnie may have to toe the line, can the 4th estate still be held above the fray?
OK, Billy. I am prochoice and will be working to get the prochoice amendment on the ballot. I agree that arresting someone for throwing a pair of underpants is absurd, BUT using a pair of underpants as a "weapon" is moronic and holds the prochoice movement up to ridicule. It is really hard to have any respect or sympathy for such a silly, silly woman! Where is her brain?
Yeah, I'm commenting on use of state power here and the state of moral war that's been forced on people. In that type of situation, absurd behavior is often effective. There's an easy way for power to marginalize those types of protests. Come to a just peace.
Feminists in Florida aren’t burning bras anymore, we’re dropping panties. For all their talk about groomers, the GOP are the ones obsessed with our what’s in our panties. They want genital inspections for kids, restroom use, athletes, and people with the capacity to get pregnant. How long before Republicans are going to be asking us to send pictures of period blood on our panties to make sure we're not pregnant?!
No politician or government has the right to police what’s in our panties, our bodily functions, or our private and personal healthcare decisions. Since Republicans are passing laws to control what happens inside our panties, they clearly don’t belong to us anymore, so Republicans can just have them!
PSA, the silly woman is standing up and fighting the extreme right and is running as a candidate against Representative Jennifer Canady. Silly? I disagree!
The problem for you is that many voters agree with me, but you need every vote you can get. Stop trying to justify immature behavior. You need to be a class act from now until election day. The public is reminded daily that the quality of our elected officials has deteriorated. One look at the floor of Congress attests to that (Bobert, MTG, Gym Jordan, etc.) The reputation of elected officials has tanked in the last few years. You will do better taking the high road when running for office. I speak from experience.
Ms Nancy, the “immature behavior” you continue to berate was a win for reproductive rights in Polk County. After the event of May 16th, you may have noticed the height of the fence has changed, the ladders and tents are gone and the medical gore posters aren’t left unmanned to blow into traffic. I was not the only person on a ladder, with a megaphone and tossing pantygrams. I was the only person targeted and arrested even though I was issued a warning and complied with the warning. Where is the outrage at the violation of my civil rights, the waste of taxpayer dollars and the blatant disregard of justice by Grady and SAO when they pursued a lie? Polk County has had a long history of problems within the Democratic Party and that must stop NOW. We have too much at stake on the table and I am one of the few candidates that has stepped up to fight back against our Governor and the GOP super majority. How would you like to get involved with my campaign? I would like the opportunity to meet and discuss the future of our city, county and state.
She later plead guilty to disturbing a lawful assembly …. Wow.
Battery is the intentional striking of another , his arrest affidavit literally stated it bounced and touched him. The States Attorney then changed the charge to disturbing a lawful assembly to cover this clear abuse of power and limit her ability to seek recompense.
These types of arrest are not uncommon in Polk County Florida. The Sheriffs office is corrupt. The courts corrupt. Free speech is penalized. A coward who hides behind a badge and a gun is hero worshipped in this backwoods backwards ass county. And I say that as a lifetime resident it’s a shame that people accept this hate filled fear monger . Who celebrates the murder of petit criminals .
Well, in this case she may have alienated more people than she energized. We need to get enough signatures to get the amendment on the ballot and I don't think this sort of behavior encourages allies. What in the world did she think was the upside to her prank? All she did was give Grady the opportunity to hitch up his britches and show his dictator side. The publicity is not good for either of them.

Others at the Options protest also threw panties and used megaphones on ladders so why was this activist targeted?

Why panties? Maybe because…
