CLAYTON — Two activists who participated in a pro-Palestine protest last spring at Washington University now face charges, the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Those charged include Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green Party in 2024, who is accused of hitting a police officer with a bicycle and kicking him at the protest. Stein, 74, was charged Friday with first-degree trespass and fourth-degree assault.
In charging documents, Washington University police said demonstrators were given numerous warnings to leave the university’s private campus. Officers moved in for arrests around 8 p.m. Court documents alleged Stein interlocked her arms with other demonstrators and refused to leave.
In an interview with the Post-Dispatch just days after the protest, Stein disputed accounts that she struck an officer.
“While I was being assaulted with a bicycle, one of the police bent down and picked up my foot in order to try to further destabilize me into falling backwards,” Stein said. “And I wiggled out of his grip, you know, in an effort not to fall back on my head.”
Oh, so you’re not actually interested in reasons, you’re just selecting a dialogue option.
I just dont get it. So her only accomplishment is being pro Palestine? But not one person has told me any of relevant political history that makes sense that this woman ran for presidency.
No one is obligated to tell you shit. It’s your fault that you are too foolish to learn anything on your own. Are we Stein? Are we? Why do you think any of us care to answer these stupid and irrelevant questions that have nothing to do with the post here?
Then no one here sounds like they know a damn thing about this woman. 🤣
Cry about it, we aren’t your mommy and we aren’t your teachers
