PAYETTE, Idaho -- A southwestern Idaho woman will serve at least three years in prison after she planted fake destructive devices, set fire to her truck and then ran naked along a rural highway to draw attention to her struggle as a transgender person.

Oh sure, dis on Idaho... B-

Granted, planting fake bombs, setting your truck on fire and running down the road naked is not a recommended way to retaliate against a questionable traffic citation...
But I think the sentence is a bit harsh... A few months to a year in the happy house would probably have sufficed

Attempted suicide by cop.
Her struggle has been going on for a very long time
and not in the least bit funny.

"Catherine Carlson was charged with arson, indecent exposure and making fake pipe bombs."

I'm all for those things being illegal, but "making fake pipe bombs" seems like an oddly specific charge.

Before you delivered your judgment did you even bother to google her name
to find out what might have pushed her over the egde?

No but I read your link. It's understandable that she's upset but all that's happened she's done to herself.

She changed her name and then her sex, in California, thirty years ago.
She had the audacity to legally dispute ownership of a property in Idaho, with her rightwing, religious female parent.
Therefore forcing her female parent to divulge her daughter's biological history to the redneck state of Idaho.
Then later during a traffic stop, for a seatbelt infraction, in the rural right wing, middle of nowhere town of Payette,
[Where she had been living peacably (in "stealth")]
she forced the redneck pig to broadcast her private biological history,
on the OFFICIAL police two-way, to all of his bored fellow "law enforcers".

Now that I have given it some thought, you are right she brought it all upon herself.

Quote from: http://dentedbluemercedes.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/her-own-payette-idaho/[Sheriff Chad Huff] said Carlson was housed by herself in the cell because jail officials could not "confirm her gender."

"We will never put her in with the females," he  said. "That's just how it is."


Notice he didn't say other females.
They couldn't "confirm her gender"?
