honestly I'm glad. she really didn't need to go to prison for any length of time. After reading about her and interacting with her ama, I double downed on that thought.

So, using "wrong" bathroom warrants 11 months prison sentence. Being actually convicted of 34 counts gets you presidency of United States of America. Tell me if USA isn't a corrupt rotten fucking clown country... At least the judge isn't part of that and actually acts like a human being throwing this nonsense out and dismissing it.
Sadly, extremely accurate
It was thrown out because they didn't file paperwork in a timely fashion, not because the judge is sympathetic.
I get the impression the prosecution wanted to make sure the judge couldn't rule on the merits of the case.
Agreed! The “American Experiment” has failed!
Oh, the judges very much are, in the US - they are appointed politically, by the US president.
Which never should be the case.
You couldn’t pay me enough to set foot in Florida.
Well it’s certainly a privilege to have that option.
i have also donated to direct aid to get people out of Florida
A million for taking one step in and then immediately leaving
Costs triple that to get me within several hundred miles of the southern border.
Police state, yay! /s
Ron desantis is an asshole and needs to be institutionalised for life.
Institutionalized at a standard oil station.
~~Important note: Shes also a Trump supporter. She actively voted for Republicans who were going to do this to us and when they then did what they said they were going to do she was supposedly surprised. She fucked around and her getting arrested is her finding out.~~
~~She also shouldn't have gotten arrested and many many trans people go to the correct bathroom in states where it's illegal to do so and have only not been arrested because we do everything we can to get in and get out and not make ourselves known.~~
Edit: Apparently she did an AMA on Reddit that I didn't see because, well, I'm barely there. She just wasn't political before this, wasnt a conservative. See post below.
Also it's pretty nuts to be trans in America and "not be political" but that's a whole other thing than being a conservative.
Edit again: Fixed the strike through
This is not correct.
See her AMA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/1kfnwa7/im_marcy_rheintgen_the_trans_girl_who_got/mqsbjlw/
Well that's positive! I've corrected my comment, I'm curious how that false reporting she was a trump supporter came to be but it's good to know she isn't that.
Although her being "not political" is pretty fucking nuts but that's not conservative at least.
You should put a line through the bad information too, in case someone stops without reading the edit.
(If the first two paragraphs don't appear as strike through for you, they're meant to be, it just might not be working since I'm in an app and I can't see it personally)
It's because you accidentally left a space before the closing squiggles
@LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world here's an example of how to do the strikethrough syntax:
~~this will strike me out~~
will look like:
~~this will strike me out~~
but
~~this won't strike me out ~~
will look like:
~~this won't strike me out ~~
Honorary Mancunian is pointing out the problem is that space that comes before the last ~~, if you delete that the strikethrough might work, but I'm not sure it will work for a whole block like you were trying, let me try:
~~testing one two three
four five six~~
nope, the strikethrough only works inline, so you would have to strikethrough each sentence:
~~Important note: Shes also a Trump supporter. She actively voted for Republicans who were going to do this to us and when they then did what they said they were going to do she was supposedly surprised. She fucked around and her getting arrested is her finding out.~~
~~She also shouldn’t have gotten arrested and many many trans people go to the correct bathroom in states where it’s illegal to do so and have only not been arrested because we do everything we can to get in and get out and not make ourselves known.~~
which would look like:
~~Important note: Shes also a Trump supporter. She actively voted for Republicans who were going to do this to us and when they then did what they said they were going to do she was supposedly surprised. She fucked around and her getting arrested is her finding out.~~
~~She also shouldn’t have gotten arrested and many many trans people go to the correct bathroom in states where it’s illegal to do so and have only not been arrested because we do everything we can to get in and get out and not make ourselves known.~~
You. Are. Amazing.
Sources?
Thank you judge for having decency!
In March, Rheintgen informed Florida lawmakers of her plan to enter the state’s Capitol building and use the restroom, even including a photo of herself so they knew who to look for.
Ok, now that makes way more sense to me. Before, I had no idea how they singled her out
yeah, it was an intentional act of civil disobedience, though she might have a different view on that. She is a conservative Catholic who believed if she prayed and appealed to her fellow conservatives' consciences, they would ... just not uphold the hateful laws they created to target her. She was wrong, unfortunately. She explicitly has said she isn't an activist.
