I actually got to speak with the head of the State Police detachment at Logan about the incident. This young woman is lucky to be alive today, and only is so because the police followed their procedures to the letter (and the woman followed their instructions during her apprehension and arrest without flinching). Their were a lot of guns pointed at her head that morning, and dozens of ways the whole incident could have ended tragically.

Thanks for all the evidence to back up your assertion. I suggest a visit to a Third World country. They just LOVE the free flow of opinions like yours.

The fact of the matter is this: The D.A. is an idiot. As is anyone who had anything to do with arresting and prosecuting Star.

While she may not have had intent, she was grossly negligent. The same world view that informs her casual hijinks at the airport (from which 9-11 terrorists took off), gets her a slap on the wrist. She is REALLY lucky she didn't try this in the deep South or at Ben Gurion Airport. They would have fired a warning shot into her kidneys.
