Poster Comment:
From one of the comments:
They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist; They came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist; They came for the labor leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader; They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew; Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object. - Martin Niemoller, German Protestant Pastor, 1892-1984
Before I look it up I can tell you that I was just looking around on Google Video and stumbled on it. I don't imagine they had a good reason to arrest an old woman journalist.
Two teenagers are skate boarding on the side walk.
Another is videotaping them.
Pan over to a newer Mercedes convertible stopped at the crosswalk honking at an old (80 - 90 years) lady who looks like she fell asleep standing on the side walk.
She stands straight up with a bit of a jolt like she just woke up.
She starts to cross the road as the younger to middle age driver is still honking and revving the engine.
She walks over to the front of his car and bangs her large carry-bag on his grill.
This sets off the driver's side airbag as she casually continues across the road with her back to him and her eyes on the road.
The driver looks embarrassed as he's taking off his sunglasses and laughing quietly, realizing he's been made an ass of.
