Jane Fonda spitting charges dismissed

The Kansas City Star


A Kansas City municipal judge today dismissed a disorderly conduct charge against a Gladstone man who spit in Jane Fonda’s face four months ago.
Police charged Michael Dean Smith after the April 19 incident at Unity Temple on the Plaza, where the actress was signing copies of her memoir. Smith, who served as a Marine in Vietnam in 1970, said he was expressing his anger at Fonda for her actions opposing the Vietnam War.

Smith said shortly after the incident that he planned to plead guilty. But at a court appearance last month, a judge “took the case under advisement” and told Smith he would dismiss the charge if Smith stayed out of trouble.

Smith stood before the judge for less than a minute today as the charge was dismissed. Smith then filled out paperwork to get his $100 bond back.

4. I don't blame you

I wish I didn't have to be here with idiots like this in the area.

[Chocolatebison]

5. There are RW idiots everywhere

I wish we could deport them to Siberia but that would be unfair to the Russians.

[Waya]

7. Just imagine what ...

..would have happened to someone who would have seen fit to spit on any Republican, Bushworshipping, War supporting yatz....they would have thrown the book at him...........

[splat@14]

6. OK, provided we can kick Rummy in the nuts for shakin hands w/Saddam

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Sounds like a fair trade to me

LOL

[OhioChick]

8. So......

I can go around spitting on people and not get reprimanded for my actions?? Wow.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. No only left wing

commie sympathizers.

[shraby]

11. In these days of AIDS, that should be

considered a death threat. If one spits on a policeman, that's considered.

[ohio_liberal]

12. Yep

Using bodily fluids is a no no.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. That's how irrational this country is.

One day they'll figure it out.

[jonnyblitz]

14. unfuckingbelievable!!

[Lars39]

15. Wonder if the judge would rule the same if he had been spit on.

[Skip Intro]

16. That's just unbelieveable.

an abortion of justice

[sakabatou]

17. :: sigh ::

[Beelzebud]

18. Correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't Fonda request that he not be charged?

You know. Because she has something these knuckle-draggers don't have:

Class

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Yes you are right

But the local prosecutor charged the guy anyway. I'm not sure what led to the charges being dropped. The article doesn't say.

[RandiFan1290]

21. They sealed the records

So I guess we won't find out.

Dangerous precedent to be setting here. This will only encourage them to continue disgusting shit like this.

:grr:

[NoPasaran]

22. Remember

It's still not okay to SPIT TOBACCO JUICE AT ANN COULTER!

So don't do it, okay?

[charlie]

24. Right

I have it taped to my mirror so I see every day while shaving -- DO NOT SPIT TOBACCO JUICE AT ANN COULTER.

Because that would be a bad thing. Don't even think about it.

[Mutley]

25. do not SPIT TOBACCO JUICE AT ANN COULTER!

That is so much fun. :rofl:

[bunkerbuster1]

27. It would be very wrong to SPIT 'BACCY JUICE on Ann Coulter

so don't anyone do it.

[Mutley]

31. Don't worry. I would never think of SPITTING TOBACCO JUICE ON ANN COULTER

That would not be a liberal thing to do. :D

[pointblank]

28. Right

Don't get me wrong..I would NEVER do anything to harm a woman....

But I just happen to chew tobacco from time to time and I don't believe Coulter falls into the above category....and I am a pretty good shot.

[tlsmith1963]

23. Someone Should Spit in the Face...

...of one of those neocon bozos. Preferrably Cheney or Rove. I mean, Bush is just a puppet. Cheney & Rove are the ones who are really running things.

26. sounds like "Judicial Activism" to me!

Where is the Doughy Pantload Brigade to protest this liberal, permissive, moral-equivalence atrocity?

[DanCa]

29. I dont care what political affilation a person is

A man has no right to do this to a woman. Wether or not I agree with Mrs Fonda's actions is not the issue. Same reason why I avoid the the threads regarding women the other side. Okay am a relic I know but I believe it is wrong for a man to harass a women in any era..

[seabeyond]

30. handcuff a 12 yr old for eating a french fry

let a man spit a wad of tabacco in a womans face

priorities are straight, right
