I Have The Pu$$y So I Go To Jail
May 9, 2010 | 1 Comment
Chicago Breaking News has a story up about a woman who was thrown in jail for two days for contempt of court because of the shirt she was wearing.

LaPenta said she wore the shirt to the gym for a workout and was asked by a friend to drive her to the courthouse in Waukegan so the friend could settle some minor traffic tickets. It wasn’t long after she sat down that Rozenberg summoned her to the front of the courtroom and asked about the slogan [on her shirt].

What was on the shirt? The words, “I have the pu$$y so I make the rules”

It might be stupid to wear that shirt in a courtroom, but to revoke an otherwise law abiding citizen’s freedom over it, when the person in question wasn’t even in the court that day for anything she had done? That just seems excessive.

The ironic part of the story is that the judge, Helen Rozenberg, is a woman. Ms. Rozenberg sending Ms. LaPenta to jail for wearing that shirt doesn’t exactly contradict the message of the apparel in question.
