Clooney: A strange arrest
Another article about Clooney, not about a change of girlfriends, for once, nor about a new film. An arrest?
In high spirits and still speaking passionately about the Sudan crisis, Clooney said this was his first time being arrested. “And let’s hope it’s my last,” he said.
No one gets arrested in such a charming manner as Clooney. Clooney spoke against the violence in Sudan.
“He said he appeared in front of the embassy to ask “the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children, stop raping them, stop starving them,” according to a video posted online by MSNBC”.
This article is, for lack of better term to describe it, bizzare. First of all, Clooney arrested. Second of all, celebrity arrests that don’t involve drugs, drinking and driving, or sex scandals. More outlandish, a protest against Sudanese violence at the embassy, one that is peaceful, would lead to arrests. Where are the civil liberties that our democracies speak so highly of?

“More outlandish, a protest against Sudanese violence at the embassy, one that is peaceful, would lead to arrests.” I think this pretty much sums it up… unfortunately these things seem to be less outlandish and far too common these days 🙁
