Aren’t hats or other head coverings prohibited in many courthouses?
The woman doesn’t look like she’s a member of any gang or anything of that sort!!

Common sense should be used in such instances.

I do think it’s silly to relate hats and other head coverings to gangs. I’m sure they’ve got other means of showing what “gang” they may belong to by now!!

I cannot believe that because she “stiffened” her arm, she was arrested!! My 3 yr old does that if I pull her away from something quickly. I think it’s just a normal reaction. Yet another waste of tax dollars

An interesting comment on the Douglasville web site you mentioned. In extolling its many virtues, the site advises us that the town is:

“… where Atlanta keeps its charm. A rich and diverse community, Douglasville is a great place to live, work, and play.”

Charming and diverse? How refreshing!
