In a honest to goodness case of You Can Beat the Rap but You Can’t Beat the Ride,” 12 protestors at the Texas State Capitol during the Wendy Davis filibuster are facing criminal charges.

A dozen abortion rights supporters who were arrested last month at the Texas Capitol are facing new charges.

Twelve members of the group “Rise Up Texas” are now charged with disrupting a public meeting.
They were arrested on the day thousands flocked to the Texas Capitol for a final vote on the controversial abortion legislation.

All 12 were initially released without charges, now they say they’re being targeted for retaliation.

The maximum punishment is a two thousand dollar fine and 180 days in jail.

Is that your best shot, David Dewhurst?  Is that the best you got?

Hey Dewhurst, when they charge you with falsifying a governmental document, which the whole damn world saw you do, then this will not be viewed as a bag of feces.  But until then, what a load of crap.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
