why should anyone feel sympathy for a woman breaking the law in a dangerious security zone? it's not like they beat her or did anything but arrest her for her actions... it's good that she did them they NEED to tighten up security. But still I don't see the sympathy aspect, just comedy
I'm not saying that they should get a medal, but as Top Cat said those people did everyone in the USA a favor by showing how lax security is at these nuclear installations.
If they could do this, some real terrorists could do the same thing.
I wish I had the guts to do what she did. I hope the sentence gets reduced.
Fair enough, that doesn't change the fact that of all the folks arrested and convicted, she's headline news to elicit sympathy about her sentence for those not like you and me.
Nothing is stopping you from breaking the law.
I hope they prosecute her.
If she'd wore a turban instead of a ...nun...hat, she'd have gotten 35 decades in gitmo.
The nun in question is from one of the ubber progressive catholic groups. These groups have been orgainizing "smear blood on the bomb" type protests since the 1980s (or even 1970s).
Though the symbol of "blood on the bomb" may seeem strange today, it was the rage amongst 1980s peace groups and the nun's group has never really never left the 1980s.If they had, I bet they could think of alot more effective symbolic protests than trespassing to smear blood on what ever.

A habit, a nun hat is called a habit.

A nun's 'hat' is a cornette.
Worn by nuns, eh?

An 84-year-old nun was sentenced to 35 months in prison Tuesday for breaking into a nuclear facility, her lawyer said.
In May, a federal jury in Knoxville, Tennessee, found Sister Megan Rice; Greg Boertje-Obed, 57; and Michael Walli, 63, guilty of destroying U.S. government property and causing more than $1,000 in damage to federal property.
It was not immediately clear what the sentences were for the two other peace activists.
The incident began before dawn on July 28, 2012, when the three cut through a chain-link fence surrounding the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
They then walked nearly a mile, cutting through three more fences and breaching what was supposed to be the most tightly secured uranium processing and storage facility in the country.
It was not until hours later that a guard finally confronted the activists who, by then, had hoisted banners, spray-painted messages and splattered human blood on a building that houses highly enriched uranium.

Sounds like she did them a favor. Hard to imagine that 3 years in the click will "cure" her.
I have to wonder if any heads will roll over the lapse in security?
She's already been sentenced to 35 months in prison.
What more do you want? This is an 84-year old lady.

Her age is irrelevant.
.
So if a 12 year old did this age wouldn't be a consideration?
