In Defense Of Scotland's Shackled Former Leader + Her Quote

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Her quote is below

 *********************
 
She is, in fact,
INNOCENT
because
it would be the same as
you or me
getting arrested 
for breathing
 
That would be ridiculous
because
—by  the nature of the beast—
we are entitled
to breathe air,
free of criminal
consequence
 
I apologize
if the word 
"beast" offends you
 
Similarly,
Nicola Sturgeon
is a politician
and
—by the nature of that beast—
side-swiping public funds
is NOT criminal
because
—for politicians—
corruption is
the air they breathe.
