I Just Love That 1st Amendment
My memory is long. Cheney has been an asshole ever since he backed Gerald Ford for President in 1976 over Ronald Reagan.
Two demonstrators protesting the Guantanamo Bay detention camp outside former Vice President Dick Cheney’s house in Virginia were cuffed Saturday morning on trespassing charges.
Eve Tetaz, an 83-year-old serial protester, was among those arrested by Fairfax County Police for the anti-torture stunt marking 13 years since the military prison opened.
She and Tighe Barry, 57, members of protest group Code Pink, also face charges of disorderly conduct after they entered Cheney’s suburban McLean property and refused to leave, police said.
The demonstration was part of Code Pink’s plan to also visit the home of CIA director John Brennan hoping to perform a “citizen’s arrest” on the men for committing what they described as war crimes, according to a statement released by Code Pink reports the Daily News.
It’s not known if Cheney was home during the protest.
