An indictment said Williams boasted on her livestream of the protest: "This is going to be a wonderful day. We are going to terrorize this place. And I want the manager to hear me say that.
I bet a lot of defense lawyers spent a lot of time in their careers trying very hard not to facepalm.
"I'm going to crime so hard, and I want everyone to know it!"
Christ, let me guess. She wasn't branded as a terrorist even though that's exactly what she went there to do. I wonder why.
She noted that Williams organized the June 2020 protest at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Manhattan and livestreamed it, bragging about it afterward, even though the hand of a worker at the clinic was injured when Williams tried to push a door closed as the worker attempted to let a volunteer enter.
The judge cited seven other criminal convictions for Williams as a factor in the sentence. Williams was convicted in February at a two-week trial of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
Maybe dial back the crime there, jesus lady.
Williams had tearfully requested leniency, saying she was traumatized by a bad childhood and an abortion she underwent in New York City when she was 15 but had since found religion as a source of inspiration.
“If I wasn't saved, I would have punched that woman in the face,” she said of the woman whose hand was injured.
Goddamn, lady - calm the fuck down.
i honestly dont understand how people can be so dumb. does she genuinly not have any situational awareness? did she really not realize that maybe telling the judge that under different circumstances she would have punched her in the face isnt gonna play well for her?
Look who invited her to speak:
