CounterPunch here, as seen on McMillan's website. McMillan is clearly some sort of superhero; she's facing down the police state with grace, and with any luck, she and her allies will win the legal fight and advance the cause of freedom a millimeter or so away from the abyss.
This case--and the Occupy thing in general--makes you wonder where that big bad liberal media is. McMillan's being railroaded like Gerry Adams but nobody in the establishment media--along with the political establishment, whether you like to pretend it's liberal or libertarian or whatever--is making a peep. If some halfway decent politician makes a Fox "News" jerkoff cry the entire establishment rises up to scream and cry, but if an American gets imprisoned for peaceful political protest, all we get are the local crickets. That's weird...
