“Evil Grandma goes to jail for protesting drone bombing.
I feel much safer now.”
From Crooks and Liars.com: Mary Anne Grady Flores has been protesting drones at the Hancock Field Air National Guard base in upstate New York for long enough to have been arrested, acquitted and then served with an order of protection to “stay away” from protests near the base.
So she decided to take photographs of other people protesting while standing on a street that she thought was off the base property itself.
