[Today, Mandy was sentenced to 16 months in prison. During the sentencing hearing, she made this statement to the court, which was interrupted 8 times, by both the judge and the prosecutor. In the end, they spoke more during the time alloted to Mandy than Mandy spoke\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Click-through for the whole piece. It\u2019s fantastic. I love how she takes every opportunity to remind the justice officials that she doesn\u2019t respect their authority.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of my friends from Waterloo, who are friends with Mandy, were quick to point out this this MLK quote addressed the rebuttals of the Judge concerning Martin Luther King\u2019s tactics:\u00a0<\/p>\n

I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed by the white moderate,\u201d he wrote in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. \u201cI have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro\u2019s great stumbling block is not the White Citizen\u2019s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to \u2018order\u2019 than to justice, who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice, who constantly says \u2018I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can\u2019t agree with your methods of direct action,\u2019 who paternalistically believes that he can set the timetable for another man\u2019s freedom.\u201d \u2014 Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
