Latina Activist Calls Judge 'White Racist Pig,' Gets 10 Days In Rikers

Christina Gonzalez, an activist protesting the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk tactics, was held in contempt of court on Friday, and sentenced to ten days in jail, after she called Judge John H. Wilson a “white racist pig.” In 2006 Judge Wilson penned a children’s book called Hot House Flowers, which was an allegory for illegal immigration that depicted immigrants as dandelions that should be “weeded out.” A man videotaping the exchange was also handcuffed, and had the contents of his camera deleted by court employees.
