UK thought police arrest woman for silent prayer

[TomC]

Arrested for prayer. You really think that’s a good thing? Punishment for thought crime?

There was no punishment.

Because they were acquitted. The process is the punishment.

Yes, sometimes. In this case probably not -- the process was the price of getting to manipulate her opponents into forfeiting the moral high ground and making themselves look like authoritarian jackasses. From her point of view, probably worth every minute and worth every penny.

The event was also kick off for a fundraiser, an aspect some people prefer to ignore.
