The piece she wrote in the Guardian just two weeks after the event, explaining why she felt compelled to join the protest.
@benroyce she stands there like a superheroine, pushing away the Police with her psychic power.
That's not a comparison by the way. That's actually what she is and does.
this picture needs to be in the dictionary as the definition for "dignity"
@leberschnitzel @benroyce Also, a great illustration of the gross misapprehension on the part of certain people about what being a badass looks like.
I'll provide a hint: It's not the throng of cowardly dipshits decked out in pounds & pounds of tactical equipment & weapons & still so deadly afraid of a woman in a pretty dress that it takes three of them just to approach her.
yup
the "tough guys"
we've all seen them around. in how they dress, what they drive, how they act
you can see the desperation and fear dripping off them. made particularly pathetic by how obvious their display is and how oblivious they are to the radioactive signal they broadcast
@benroyce Look at those brave men. 馃槖
the composition of the photo is incredible. they are lower than her. they look like they are cowering before her
