NEW YORK - Eighteen anti-war activists who call themselves the Granny Peace Brigade were acquitted Thursday of disorderly conduct charges stemming from a protest outside a Times Square military recruiting center last fall.
Hot Damn, You go Granny ! This is great news ! Today Judge Ross set the Granny Brigade free after a 2 day trial. You might remember when these heroic old gals got arrest. They were arrested in front of a Army recuiting center on Oct 17th of last year for 2 counts of Disorderly Conduct.
These wonderful women were looking at 15 days in prison if found guilty. Can you imagine being in your 80s or 90s and put in prison ? Let celebrate below !

Lead defense lawyer Norman Siegel said the women were "extremely pleased" with the judge's verdict.
"They are great Americans, and they walk the shoes of great Americans who have made America the place that it is," he said.
You're Damn Skippy they are Great Americans ! A few days ago Cindy Sheehan had this to say :
Sheehan, who has become a leading voice against the war since her son was killed in Iraq, said the grannies spoke "for the people in Iraq who don't have voices."
"When women like grannies are punished for trying to save lives, this country is in a terrible mess," she said.
A small bit of my faith in justice was restored today. We need some good news once in awhile. I hope this made your day like it did mine!
