Good to hear we're arresting the "real" criminalsThis is Karyann Parkinson and her five kids.

She just received a 6-month suspended jail sentence and is now on Virginia's child abuse registry.
Her crime: letting her 5-year-old, Sam, walk a half-mile alone in their gated community.
She's not the first. A thread. pic.twitter.com/S2kCcACx1I
Was anyone else surprised by the race here after reading the headline?
VOTE BLUE AND VOTE GAVIN
It is surprising. But from reading an article it sounds like she went Karen-mode on security and police. That probably didnt help her situation. We must never challenge authority.
Right. I get it. Never challenge authority, not even in BLM protests, or if the authority is wearing an ICE uniform, and especially never, ever, do it in Berkeley.
i challenged authority in Berkeley when Milo visited. Would do it again. Go Bears!
UC Berkeley ranked 215 out of 261 schools by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (grade F).

UC Berkeley lands in the bottom 25 on "Disruptive Conduct," showing student acceptance of non-peaceful forms of protest. It tumbled 130 places from last year on "Administrative Support," meaning students doubt administrators will defend speech, and 114 places on "Comfort Expressing Ideas," indicating discomfort sharing views on controversial topics.
Do better "home of the Free Speech Movement."
Not shocking when you have Cal grads celebrating the fact that they blocked Milo from his right to free speech.
Yes but I will note that the university allowed the event to go on and provided police protection. I dunno, some of this looks like FIRE blaming the university for the behavior of some students (which is also free speech).
I hear you but making it unsafe for someone else to exercise their freedom of speech is blocking someone from exercising their freedom of speech.
Yes and as always there's a tough spot where a protest crosses the line over into that and the school has to walk that line.
