CLAYTON — Two activists who participated in a pro-Palestine protest last spring at Washington University now face charges, the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Those charged include Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green Party in 2024, who is accused of hitting a police officer with a bicycle and kicking him at the protest. Stein, 74, was charged Friday with first-degree trespass and fourth-degree assault.
In charging documents, Washington University police said demonstrators were given numerous warnings to leave the university’s private campus. Officers moved in for arrests around 8 p.m. Court documents alleged Stein interlocked her arms with other demonstrators and refused to leave.
In an interview with the Post-Dispatch just days after the protest, Stein disputed accounts that she struck an officer.
“While I was being assaulted with a bicycle, one of the police bent down and picked up my foot in order to try to further destabilize me into falling backwards,” Stein said. “And I wiggled out of his grip, you know, in an effort not to fall back on my head.”
This pro-palestine language is ridiculous. Use the real language here, anti-genocide!
I wonder what Putin’s motivation for this is?
Useful idiot is no longer useful
It’s weird bluemaga seems to be unable to understand you were victims of propaganda.
It’s weird that morons continue to insist that “bluemaga” is a thing.
You fell for propaganda paid by oligarchs and support genocide and discrimination based on protected characteristics… Why are you ‘people’ different?
There’s a reason there’s a saying of ‘scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.’
How do I support genocide? What propaganda did I supposedly fall for? What protected characteristics do I supposedly discriminate against? What kind of dressing would you like with that word salad you posted?
If you voted for Harris you explicitly voted for genocide.
Jill Stein, an independently wealthy doctor with actual actions to prove her politics, being far right or a Russian puppet. If the greens had no chance of winning, why did both parties collectively spend billions to try to sabotage them?
If you agree with the current democratic admin, you don’t think trans women are women nor do you think Palestinians are people.
No word salad, you people are generally just illiterate and have far too small of an attention span.
The choices were:
- Vote for Trump (Netanyahu’s preference)
- Vote for Harris (still bad)
- Don’t vote (or vote third party, which has an identical effect) (leaves the choice between Trump and Harris to the rest of the voters)
Correct, except if 51% of voters in each state choose third party, they would have won.
In any case voting for genocide was the wrong choice, whether or not you voted for it to affect you as well.
If you voted for Harris you explicitly voted for
… a chance of ending …
genocide.
… in the only case people seem to care about.
There. Some words smudged as you were moving the goalposts.
No, no goal post moving. There was as much a chance of Harris ending genocide as there is for a fully formed woman being instantaneously created from a rib.
Ahhhhhhh hahahahahahahaha
You red maga people crack me up. You fell for propoganda paid for by Russian imperialist billionaires and aggressively spread lies and misinformation in support of a Republican genocide. Then try to deflect and whataboutism your way our taking responsibility for your actions.
Unlike you right wingers, we don’t believe Russian propaganda nor Republican nonsense.
You’re lost, little reddit, most people here are far to your left.
Jesus you’re being insufferable. Watching you say shit I even might otherwise agree with makes me want to poke myself in the eye.
Thank you. The time to be nice was before the American ‘left’ decided that genocide is not only fine, it’s necessary for the survival of
the white raceAmerican democracy. Oops, almost put the nonblue maga reason there.
Did Kamala Harris get arrested protesting too? Where is she?
She’s… somewhere? But the person I was told was “a useful asset, she doesn’t stand for anything” is doing direct action.
Weird how the one with more money is hiding from the public after losing to such a shit canidate. 🤷♂️
It was a workday.
😂 tokens get spent, always. I love it.
Edit: not sure why I got downvoted, y’all don’t actually support her do you? You know she’s Trump’s paid opposition right?
