Giving aid and comfort to the enemy

The day after Thanksgiving I helped my neighbor pick out an outfit to wear to court. She is facing charges of disorderly conduct for an anti-war protest she engaged in in Washington state. She and a few others went to a weapons depot and blocked the gate. She said that the protesters and the cops knew each other and that it was a very civilized protest and that the cops were very gentle and kind, declining to arrest her 82 year old mother.

She is hoping to get community service. She thinks that the charge may be thrown out of court, as the gate they were blocking was actually locked and not open to traffic so they really weren't preventing anything from happening.

She was trying to pick out an outfit that made her look grandmotherly, so her partner and I critiqued her outfits for her and suggested ways for her to wear her hair.
