Al Bundy Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, sibon said: I’m sure that it will be. But, as we don’t really know what she’d been doing, maybe we should wait and see. I very much doubt that she was arrested and charged merely for standing quietly, alone in the street. The court case should be interesting. I agree with that. I've no doubt she will be one of those attention seeking folk who provoke and then start crying when held to account. Bit like the attention seekers wearing rainbow clothing in Qatar.

I would suspect so aye, if any of them were seeking to break an order for the 5th time in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite easy to see it could be considered harassment in those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd put 'less likely' I'd have agreed with you. Use 'unlikely' and I'll disagree. Catholicism, for example, forbids both contraception and abortion but plenty of catholics use contraception and get abortions. Abortion isn't even forbidden by many religions/denominations but some members of those religions/denominations protest against abortions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
