Possible life in jail - for a protest using red paint. Just what sort of draconian legal systems do some US states have? No wonder the US has so many Prisoners.
I read that article and felt in the end that it was written to sensationalize the incident. There is a big difference between the possible sentence and what will actually come from it. I agree with the other poster that if she participated in actual destruction that she should have some punishment. Vandalism should be punished,protesting should not.
