Charges Dismissed Against Grannies Who Protested Rose-Laden Tank
In the Grandma almost got run over by a reindeer, no scratch that, I mean tank department:
“Two anti-war protesters who stood in front of a rose-laden tank during last year’s Grand Floral Parade had their legal troubles wiped away by a judge Monday.
Bonnie Tinker, 60, and Sara Graham, 67 — two members of the “Seriously P.O.’d Grannies” — were charged with disorderly conduct and interfering with police after they held up anti-war signs in front of the tank in the middle of the parade.
“I don’t think freedom of speech is disorderly,” Tinker said.”
““Any time a tank is in a city street, that should cause alarm in people, not generate applause and cheering,” she said. Tinker said she was especially offended by the tank because it had roses and other flowers cascading out of the barrel of its gun.”
To which we can only say You Go Grannies Go!
