Tea Partier Strikes Back, Sues, Wins Judgement For Wrongful Prosecution

by JASmius



I must say it was an....unorthodox means of obtaining $1,120,000 of Janet Yellen's wastepaper, but it must have been at least symbolically cathartic as well:

A Long Island mother of three arrested for taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons ​– ​while ​armed to the teeth with a licensed assault rifle in her car — has been awarded ​$1.12 million​ by a federal jury over her false prosecution by Suffolk County authorities.

So she was a jihadist spy?

​The Central Islip ​jury ​on Thursday sided with Nancy Genovese, 58, in a 2010 lawsuit she filed against Suffolk County​, its​ Sheriff’s Office and other parties, ​claiming she was ​only ​arrested during the July 2009 incident because she belonged to the Tea Party.

ISIS has infiltrated the Tea Party?  When did this happen?

Genovese was arrested while taking pictures of a decorative helicopter in front of the Gabreski Airport Air National Guard base in Westhampton Beach for a “Support Our Troops” website. She was charged with criminal trespass and spent four days in jail before the charges were dropped.

Well, if Mrs. Genovese is a jihadist spy, she's not very good at her craft.

Southhampton cops searched her and found a legally owned rifle that she was transporting from a nearby rifle range. She contends a deputy sheriff arrived on the scene later and said to her, “I bet you are one of those Tea Party people.” When Genovese said she’s gone to Tea Party rallies, he allegedly said, “You’re a real right-winger, aren’t you?” and “You are a ‘Teabagger’” and then added that she’d be arrested for terrorism to make an example of other “right wingers.”

Ah.  Judging by the fact that she didn't gun down those Obamunist cops, I'm going to go way out on a limb and conclude that Mrs. Genovese isn't a jihadist spy.  And she is, you know, over a tax-free million dollars richer.

The only bummer from this happy outcome is that the $1.12 mil didn't include emptying the bank accounts down to the last penny of those specific police officers.  You know, to make an example of other left-wingers.

Exit question: If Mrs. Genovese had been a black Tea Partier, would the Southhampton deputy sheriff have shot her?
