Occupy Member Arrested in Boca Raton Has a Bit of a History Doing Publicity Stunts

• its absolutely not true... sad that people think the only thing that is productive is to make money... what ever happened to improving quality of life

• www.evergladesearthfirst.org for more info on florida activist issues

• hey FQs9000 (aka- robot with no face) you seem to have no understanding of the vast amount of dedication this person has invested in helping the lives of others... whether it be personal friends, members of the community unknown to her, the homeless, migrant workers treated as slave labors, civil, local, and environmental exploitation...  Ana has continuously raised the banner of awareness and took personal sacrifice that was needed for the improvement of other peoples lives...  for instance the continual pollution of the aquifer that you drink water from... while FPL illegally builds another power plant that will pump its sewage back underground to said aquifer, while FPL wont let scientists into the oldest forests in florida because they are draining it dead!  i guess these issues are not serious enough for you robot with no face... or maybe you hide behind your robot body so no one knows you are reading about the karsashians and jersey shore

• i have! and her heart only grows

• Har, har.  Ana is merely a publicity hound.  So far she is bravely fighting for the following:  - Hate Sheriff Arpaio  - Hate people who earn more money than she thinks they should have  - Hate people who want to build improvements on their property  - Hate people who think we should have immigration laws Clown makeup is exactly perfect for her. 

• Then you have not seen her drunk.

• I don't know about those other stunts, but I do agree with protesting Sheriff Joe Arpaio!

• So true!  Lock up all the 'bitches' that exercise their right to free speech!  Civil disobedience is a HORRIBLE thing, and wasn't practiced at all in our nations history as a whole. Those damn colonist 'bitches' that took part in the Boston Tea Party sure were horrible people. ...Quit your bitching. 

• Love you, Ana... I'll be the first to admit I will film it happening and participate in rallies and even speak up, but to get arrested takes real guts.  You are an inspiration!

• Ana is the most loving and considerate person you could ever meet!

• It does, but it doesn't explain it to the reader... it doesn't explain the reasons behind any of the protesting.... it doesnt explain that "amerikkas toughest sheriff" only got that name for being very tough against peoples civil liberties... people with tanned skin that is...

• And these are just some of the ways people have been forced to endanger themselves through in order for people to hear the cries for an open dialogue from these corporate moguls that keep anyone with conflicting intrests far away from the property/legislative process... wasting the tax dollars and local policeforces time just to silence peoples voices

• i find your perpetuation of rape culture through your sexist and malicious usage of the word bitch to be quite disturbing as do I find it vile that you oppose a brave woman who has dedicated her life to her community through various projects and fights back against those who get in her way.

• You make yourself look like a self righteous moron more and more ever time you speak. And, your use of "bitch" just showcases it. And how constructive are you, you're commenting on news articles online, with persistency.

• It doesn't say anything about this person standing up against racism in the article.

• Ana is the best. friendly as hell and smart x10

• Wow! I love women with courage AND conviction(no pun intended). Go Ana!

• Wow! I'm ashamed of New Times for writing and creating an article like this. New Times is surely not the alternative press it is supposed to be. This girl and her friends could care less about publicity. They don't care if they are in a book or not. They care about the rights of people and the protection of our planet. They are trying to get the word out so people are aware of what goes on right under our noses. Thanks to them for willing to get arrested and sacrifice themselves in the name of the rights of the people. (reminds me of Jesus) New Times should support people like this in a positive light and help by giving some explanations to why they were there and what they are trying to tell the people who may be watching the news or reading an article like this. Try interviewing Ana and her fellow peace makers and take a stance to make a difference. I guess New Times cares more about their advertising $$$$ coming in then helping the planet and the people. PEOPLE, Start following Ana, not for the drama but to be informed of The Truth!

• 90 days in jail is exactly the podium she deserves.  Whining is not a brave or courageous act, except to a bitch.

• After bringing attention to herself, Ana speaks for many people whose voices are unfortunately not given the luxury of a podium or the news coverage they deserve.  (which are most often venues for genuine clowns)  I'm proud of her strength in knowing the importance of the GAIM conference and showing her opposition to it.  This article should have further discussed the issues behind the acts, and in its failure to do so it slightly skews the spirit of protest which we are lucky to have active in our community. 

• Neither is she and it is absolutely true.

• Now that wasn't very nice.  Nor very constructive.

• Typical left wing nut job.  All she can do is act like a fool and a clown.  She merely wants attention for herself.  She can't be bothered to do something actually constructive.  She is merely a preening, howling bitch. What she needs is for the judge to give her 90 days in the cooler.  She won't find that all that much fun.

• Ana! You're my hero!!

• Stunts? I hardly see how standing up against racism and environmental destruction are anything less than heroic. Thank you, Ana, for putting yourself at risk in order to fight for issues  that effect our communities and natural environment. And thank you, Mr. Hendley, for highlighting Ana's courageous efforts. However, your spin on the story really sucks.

• Yes, I am  sure all she is thinking when protesting against deforestation or corporate greed is: ¨Matthew Hendley will ¨impartially¨ be writting about me and Ill be on the news, lets do this, lets get arrested!¨. Each and every person has the right to support their beliefs and PROTEST the best way they consider.
