CLAYTON — Two activists who participated in a pro-Palestine protest last spring at Washington University now face charges, the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Those charged include Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green Party in 2024, who is accused of hitting a police officer with a bicycle and kicking him at the protest. Stein, 74, was charged Friday with first-degree trespass and fourth-degree assault.
In charging documents, Washington University police said demonstrators were given numerous warnings to leave the university’s private campus. Officers moved in for arrests around 8 p.m. Court documents alleged Stein interlocked her arms with other demonstrators and refused to leave.
In an interview with the Post-Dispatch just days after the protest, Stein disputed accounts that she struck an officer.
“While I was being assaulted with a bicycle, one of the police bent down and picked up my foot in order to try to further destabilize me into falling backwards,” Stein said. “And I wiggled out of his grip, you know, in an effort not to fall back on my head.”
I’m sorry you are so ignorant to not know that. The education system must have failed to teach you basic researching skills

She’s the only candidate, aside from cornel west, that didn’t ran a genocide platform. Also advocates for decent policies like free education, healthcare and a green/sustainable economy.
If you’re going by accomplishments: Id rather have someone with what in your eyes are no accomplishments then the known accomplishment of facilitating genocide and increasing geopolitical tensions that blue and red maga brought onto the table
That’s not true, Claudia de la Cruz did too
True.

Because these parties don’t have the funds to run a hundred small campaigns that are gonna get sued to shit by democrats and Republicans alike anyway. And they don’t have the funds because the two wings of the corporate party have killed fair campaign funding all over the country, and why not? They’re making a killing selling their vote for cash and their voters still rabidly defend them like they’re their close personal pal

Oh, so you’re not actually interested in reasons, you’re just selecting a dialogue option.

No one is obligated to tell you shit. It’s your fault that you are too foolish to learn anything on your own. Are we Stein? Are we? Why do you think any of us care to answer these stupid and irrelevant questions that have nothing to do with the post here?
