MeganMonkey is in Jail and Joan Alpren got bloodied....

[WCGreen]

News from the front...

MM was arrested, along with Cindy S. at the white house protest...

Joani was injured in the run up to protest.....



Joani is alright.... Nothing "serious" as she told me when I talked to her....

she was more worried that I was drinking my Nani Juice...

She will explain what happened...

Details to follow....

[JimmyJazz]

1. OH FUCK! I met meaganmonkey this weekend!

She's the best. I'll be thinking of her and I'm glad Joani is okay.

[WCGreen]

4. Joani is fine.....

But MM might be in the Jail for a bit.. They arrested more than a few folks today...

Civil Disobeidence.....

Joani promised pics when she gets back home.....

[sniffa]

17. she is the best

she even painted her toes (which she never, ever does) cuz i was gonna be there. :P

[Sugar Smack]

32. I really hope meganmonkey doesn't get too shaken up

by this. She's such a tough cookie! She let us know she was preparing for it.

:hug:

[LynneSin]

2. I just hope that Joan is ok!!

We knew Megan was going to get arrest, she signed up to do that and I'm sure she will be out shortly.

Keeping both Megan and Joan in my prayers!!

[WCGreen]

5. Joani is fine.....

Just a little hurt....

I'll let her tell the story....

[no name no slogan]

3. HOLY CRAP

I hope they're both okay and can get released SOON.

I've been in custody for civil disobedience before, and it's not fun. :(

[JimmyJazz]

6. BTW - Does meaganmonkey need bail money?

Jeez - I was teasing her about programming the number of Chico's Bail Bonds into her cell phone - I didn't think she'd actually NEED it. :o

[WCGreen]

9. She hs Joani's calling card.....

And there will be no problem with the bail, at least that is the impression I got from Joani...

She is there waiting for her to call.....

That is why I got off the phone

[BikeWriter]

7. Aww shit, here's to them!

[bertha katzenengel]

8. Bloody hell! GO, MM!

Holy shite! I am a strong believer in civil disobedience. :bounce:

Good for her! And Joan too. :grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Omigod, WC.....

I'm sorry to hear all this.....

Joani is hurt? I hope not seriously...as you say...my best to her, if you speak to her again....

And MeganMonkey is in jail? She's a hero in my book....they'd better treat her right....

Civil disobedience ain't for the scairdy-cats.....good for her!


:patriot: :applause:


Edited to add: thank you, merh for reminding me to nominate this for the Greatest Page...

[merh]

11. Holy Moly - So sorry Joani was hurt - I am glad she said she is

okay. :hug:

Way to go MeganMonkey - to be arrested with Cindy Sheehan, what a patriot. :patriot:

I am so pround of both MeganMonkey and Joani! :toast:

Of course I am nominating this thread! :bounce:

[WCGreen]

14. She is fine.....

It was my idea to post this, not her's....

But I got her okay before I did.....

[xmas74]

12. Let Joani know that I'm thinking about her right now.

If she wants to talk let her know I'm here. We can find a way somehow.

[WCGreen]

13. She will be posting tomorrow...

Along with pictures of her and her "bloody" shirt.....

[xmas74]

15. Good.

I'll try to catch her then.
If you see her first tell her to check her pm's for my phone number.

[WCGreen]

16. I'll probably talk to her later tonight.....

She is concerned more about my health, I think, than she is about her own....

Great friend.......

[xmas74]

27. She's a good person

[WCGreen]

18. UPDATE!!

Megan is out of jail and on her way back to the hotel room....

Joani's eye is blacker and bluer....

But it doesn;t hurt so much....

She fell during the run up to the arrest.....

The doc who treated her was a volunteer and used, as stressed by Joani, homeopathic methods....

A drop of lavender, I do believe.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. What a relief to hear that Megan is out of jail......

That was quick...I thought that she'd be in jail overnight...glad she wasn't......

Lavendar for bruises? Perhaps with ice......:shrug:


I'm glad for the update....Thanks!


:grouphug:

[WCGreen]

20. Just the message she left......

I think it was for her nose

[merh]

21. Thank you for the update. Glad MeganMonkey is on her way to

the hotel. :patriot: :hug:

Speaking of homeopathic methods, using a cold raw egg on a bruise works wonders. Just roll the cold raw egg on the bruised area and you will be surprised how the bruising goes away. Sending Joani love and hugs!

(((((((((((((( :hug: Joan_Alpern :hug: )))))))))))))))))

:loveya:

And MeganMonkey too!

(((((((((((((( :hug: MeganMonkey :hug: )))))))))))))))))

:loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

22. Good! I'll call Meagan later, when the dust settles!

She really is an amazing woman, as is Joani, of course :)

[EstimatedProphet]

24. Hey, tell her thanks for fighting the good fight

I wish I could have stayed around for today...

[JimmyJazz]

26. I will pass that along to her.

:hi:

BTW - Your wife is absolutely stunning :)

[philosophie_en_rose]

23. That's good news.

Please send them my best wishes. I hope that they get excellent legal representation.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

25. Thank you to both of them! We need more Americans like them!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[WCGreen]

28. Joani stuck around.....

Got bit by the protest bug.....

She is going to continue on with the action as best she can....

DOn;t know Megan very well, but she volunteered to get arrested...

And even though you know it is going to turn out okay going in, when those doors shut behind you and they fingerprint you and take your picture, you get an idea of what it really is like....

[Tom Kitten]

29. what a relief!

I froze when I read your title...Thank good they are relatively unscathed... but, anyways,

Wow! I'm proud of them!

[Sugar Smack]

30. Joani and Meagan, if you're reading this-

I admire you two so MUCH!!! I am sitting here hoping you're both alright. Two of my favorite people getting roughed up..Meagan, I knew you were a little apprehensive, but GOOD ON YA! You are one of the strongest, coolest women I've ever met. And Joani- I'm going to call you later. I hope your poor eye is doing alright.

I love you both!

:hug: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

31. Damn that sucks

[GOPisEvil]

33. Ack!

Megan - I hope you're doing ok. I know you were apprehensive. I hope it wasn't too bad. :hug:

Joani - I hope your eye is ok. You're the best. :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

35. Thanks!

36. Have Joani or Megan Monkey reported in?

This thread in GD about the govt's tactic delaying the release of those arrested has me concerned for our own. :scared:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4895370#4895522

Anybody hear from either Joani or MM since this thread was posted?
Sending out hugs and good thoughts for both of them. :grouphug:

[JimmyJazz]

37. I called MM and she is out of jail and doing just fine.

:hi: She said everyone was very nice to her and treated her with the utmost of respect.

[merh]

40. Thanks so much, that GD thread had me worried.

And isn't it late - tomorrow is a school day.

BTW - you owe me a call! :D

Geez, I am so sorry!

[MrScorpio]

42. Those ladies got guts

:grouphug:

[WCGreen]

43. They are cool....

[WCGreen]

45. I have no idea what Megan looks like but I did not see Joani

in any of those photos......

She drove all the way to Cleveland a few weeks ago just to give me some essential oils and a sharper Image Ionic Breeze....

she is one special lady....

I am proud to call her friend....

[auntAgonist]

46. she must be very special indeed!

You are one lucky guy to have her for a friend, but then it takes special people to find special people .. I think :)

[WCGreen]

48. That it does aA... That it does....

Cause look at how many of us have found each other right here....

[enigmatic]

47. Holy Crap!!

Joan and MM, I hope you are both ok; I can't believe I didn't see this eariler..
