Frustrated anti-gay marriage protestor/loser arraigned on assault charges

[Bluebear]

(Boston) A woman who was part of a conservative Christian group rallying Thursday at the Massachusetts Statehouse for a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage is charged with assaulting a gay marriage supporter who was attending a rally across the street opposing the amendment.

Diane Steele, 52, was arraigned Friday on charges of assault and battery...

Steele was one of about a hundred protestors calling on state lawmakers to approve the amendment and send it to voters in 2008. Steele allegedly crossed the street and slapped the unidentified person. The victim was startled but not hurt.

Boston Police spokesperson James Kenneally said Steele apparently decided to "escalate" the debate into a physical confrontation.

Perhaps she was following that bible passage that says, "Go ye forth across the street and gobsmack your enemy, for thou art righteous and menopausal."

NOT!

This woman needs to go back and read the New Testament. This time I suggest she use her glasses.

8. They slapped Jesus, too.

What was that quote by Asimov? Something like: violence is the last resort of the incompetent - or something very similar.
