Zuccotti Park: Sitting and Knitting Now a Crime?

During Wednesday evening's arrests at Zuccotti Park, NYPD Captain Lombardo isolated one person in group gathered to greet the Guitarmy to make an example of and the person he chose was a 56-year old woman. Her crime? Sitting in a chair and knitting.

Maybe the NYPD had a warning about a terrorist attack being planned with knitting needles? Or, perhaps he just figured that they would make a good source to gather DNA from?



Protesters Send Knitted Uteri

Opponents of an Arizona proposal to limit birth control coverage sent knitted uteri with large, glued-on plastic eyes to more than 12 state lawmakers in clear plastic bags. Each gift was accompanied by a letter from a woman who is against the bill. Proponents of the bill say employers shouldn’t have to provide contraception if it violates the organization’s religious stance. Opponents say the measure would violate a woman’s right to privacy. Arizona lawmakers are expected to vote on the bill next week.
