Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested outside the site of the second presidential debate Tuesday. The Jill Stein arrest at debate entrance is a mockery of American democracy.  She was arrested outside the Obama and Romney debate last night, a sign of the brick wall standing between politicians from outside the two party system. Take a look at this excerpt from the related article on Jill Stein’s website:

Dr. Stein and Ms. Honkala walked with supporters toward the Hofstra campus at 2:00pm EST today. There they were met by three ranks of police officers in uniform and plainclothes. At this point, the Green Party candidates held an impromptu press conference in which Dr. Stein called the CPD debate a “mockumentary,” saying that, “We are here to bring the courage of those excluded from our politics to this mock debate, this mockery of democracy.”

Dr. Stein and Ms. Honkala then turned and began walking onto the debate grounds, at which point the rank of police officers physically stopped them and pushed them back. The two women sat down and the police arrested them, saying that Stein and Honkala would be charged with “obstructing traffic,” a charge Jill Stein for President staffer and lawyer Alex Howard called “bogus” in that there was no through-traffic visible at any time during the incident.
