Incorrect. The question is, was she protesting in an area where she wasn't legally allowed to.
The answer is, yes.
End of questions.

If you stand in a no-protesting zone and tell cops you're there to oppose abortion, you're protesting. That's the point of the zone.
In the words of someone who seems pretty confused right now, "you should be keeping to the law at all times no matter where no matter when."

Her presence was a protest. It was not allowed. She knew this. She can face the consequences of her actions, just like everyone else.
The United Kingdom does not have the same free speech laws as the United States. The government is tired of people harassing women simply for seeking healthcare. They can protest in the street, they can protest in their churches, they can protest in their homes. They can protest right outside the exclusion zone. But if they break the law, they will face the consequences.

TL;DR bullshit. An abortion protestor was protesting where it isn't allowed and got arrested.

It depends. It's customary to supply a receipt with a charitable donation of any decent size for which you're claiming a tax rebate, but as far as I know, it's not actually legally required.
If you get audited and you don't have that receipt, you're up shit creek. But as we've seen the last few years, the IRS doesn't have the balls to go up against rich people's accountants and lawyers to get the tax revenue they're dodging — they'd rather raid some little mom-and-pop donut shop to demand receipts for bulk toilet paper.

Ignorance and a lack of intelligence are not the same thing.
Pretending a stranger equated them when they did not would be an example of something stupid.

Like I said, it's Reddit, so it's an extremely common and predictable reaction to refuse to converse like an adult. So common that I knew there was a decent chance you'd do so right away, and was correct.
Have a nice day.

> Secondly there's a big difference between accidentally using a loaded phrase with painting my fucking face black. And this is about painting other people's children's faces for black history month.
Both are examples of things you can do out of ignorance. Especially if you're a recent immigrant. And yes, they're relevant for that reason.
I'm sorry that you chose to ignore the question and refuse a civil answer, even after I predicted that you might do so. I can see that there's no point in continuing this conversation, so I won't waste my time.

Let's lay out a scenario here. How many Australian Aboriginal people do you know? Based on your time of posting, I'm going to guess it's probably zero.
Say you moved to Australia and worked with a coworker who was Aboriginal. And ignorant of the cultural context, you said something incredibly offensive. (I won't list examples, but suffice it to say that there are certain words you shouldn't use, the local equivalent of the N-word, which nonetheless are pretty close to other words in standard English.)
Would you appreciate being labeled as a vile racist, and agree with the assessment, resigning immediately? Or would you apologize for your action and your ignorance, and hope that you'd be forgiven if you promise it wouldn't happen again?
Because this is Reddit and people often dodge the point to try and argue on tangents or unrelated topics: Please answer the question directly before making another comment. Choose one of the two options above.

>Courtney Politis said the teacher apologized to her for the blackface incident. The educator, who is Argentinian, told her it was a cultural tradition in her country.
>The couple said it's no excuse.
>"It's not an accident. You know better," Courtney Politis said.
Does she? If she's a recent immigrant it's entirely possible that she's ignorant of the cultural context of blackface in America. See also: the Zwarte Piet character in Dutch Christmas celebrations.
That would make this an extremely unfortunate, but ultimately innocent, mistake. A little basic investigation will tell whether this was done with malice or simply ignorance. Teach her the history, accept her apology, and it won't happen again.

Because the layout of the three main pyramids kinda sorta looks like Orion's Belt from the air.
Except it's flipped. Hence the (wrong) idea that it looked really different thousands of years ago.

In his own words the bank robber in the vault wasn't there to rob a bank. He still got arrested.
You can stand in the street and pray literally anywhere. Nothing stopped this protester from doing it anywhere else. She had to go there specifically to do it as a protest. She did. She was protesting.
Stop eating this bullshit. It will remain bullshit, no matter how many times you say it's corn flakes. And it won't make your breath smell any better.
