Unfortunately, even if you aren’t charged with anything, you can be held for awhile in most jurisdictions. Usually up to 24 hours.

I know that they can do it. That has no bearing on the outrageousness of the fact that they did do it.

I appreciate the well wishes and love, but this is the work of God. I am a vessel! Glory to the most high!
Um. That’s an interesting choice of words.

Not for a Christian.

An American Christian, anyway. That style of language would be seen as a bit extreme in my neighbourhood even if it was coming from a priest.
Mathew 6:5 seems to be notably absent from most American bibles.

What I say, internally upon contact or knowledge of, is that a good Christian is just a good person with a wierdly specific fantasy fetish.

Wait, putting aside all the important aspects of this story for just a moment. Her first name was de-capitalized?
No. It was misreported as starting with an L instead of an I.

How I long for a world where the only issue we had left to protest was that of fonts that don’t have adequately distinguishable glyphs…

I assume you didn’t grow up in the US, especially the South.
African-American’s struggle for equality and justice has always been couched in Biblical language. Denied a political voice, and often even literacy, the enslaved and their children embraced their oppressors Protestant Christianity to speak, to struggle, and to organize.
This woman is standing up to injustice with the language of her forebearers. Why would you deny her that powerful voice?
I applaud the audacity of her courage and the clarity of her speech – while being secretly ashamed that in the America of 2016, my America, she had to do this at all.
About your bible quote. We in the “states” are quite aware of Matthew.
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
This woman put her life on the line because of belief in the possibility of a better world. Isn’t that what Christ did?

If anything, it’s a travesty that such a display of courage, grace, poise, and dignity has to be wasted on these cosplayin’ action-figure wannabes:
I hope their moms see them and recognize them.
Christ, if I had to go out in public looking like a cut-rate Master Chief, the absolute least I would require is that I’m facing down some Covenant aliens. Grow up and get a fucking real job, boys. Be useful.
Put the toys away.
Oh, and learn better dance steps. Nobody’s done The Robot in public in a decade.
