A noisy beast this one. The less we see or hear from her the better.

Highland Heights, KY -- A university professor who was forced to resign after leading a group of pro-abortion students in vandalizing a pro-life display has attacked pro-life advocates in a private email to the students involved. The email also encourages the students to "make it hard" for police investigating the vandalism to find them. News of the email is surfacing just hours after Northern Kentucky University professor Dr. Sally Jacobson issued an apology for her actions.
Jacobson apologized Tuesday evening in an interview with a local television station, but told the NKU student newspaper she will no longer grant interviews on the advice of her attorney.
Meanwhile, Jacobson emailed the pro-abortion students involved in the vandalism and urged them to obtain attorneys and to resist being charged by police in the matter. She worries and charges will aid the pro-life movement.
"If you are named, my advice is to get your attorney to plead you down to a misdemeanor," she wrote, according to The Northerner student paper. "The well-funded Right to Life groups that are pushing for this need felony convictions, I believe, in order to file civil suits for damages."
Jacobson also told the students about the current investigation the NKU police department id conducting, even encouraging the pro-abortion students to make it difficult for police to locate them.
"In the meantime, the campus police continue their investigation," she said. "If you have not yet been interrogated, you do not have to talk to them without an attorney. You can make it hard to find you. Again, I am so sorry."
Jacobson and the students involved could face as much as a Class D felony for their actions. Charges have not yet been filed against those involved in the destruction of the pro-life display but NKU Officer Rob Yelton told the student paper they are forthcoming.
"The [pro-life] group has indicated that they are willing to press charges," he said.
However, The Northerner reported that the bulk of the charges will be directed at Jacobson.
"At this time, we don't anticipate the students being charged," Lt. Col. Jeffrey Martin said. "They were intimidated by an authority figure into believing that this was not a criminal act."
Commonwealth Attorney Jack Porter, the local prosecutor, will make the final decision on the charges, and the officers indicated they thought he would grant the students immunity but charge Jacobson for her part in the vandalism.
Jacobson clearly hopes this is the case, according to the paper, as she wrote the students that she wants to help them avoid prosecution.
"I want to do everything I can to keep any of you from being specifically named," she said. "And I am very sorry I got you involved in this."
Jacobson, whose classes have been given to other professors to complete for the semester, also warned the pro-abortion students to stay away from her office on campus.
Hmmm ~ so the old bat's unaware that instructing other people how to evade or break the law is usually a criminal offense.
She just keeps digging that hole deeper and deeper.
So she's not sorry she did it, she's just sorry she got caught.
I don't get this position. They were college age students, not minors. Seems like selective use of the law to me.
I certainly wouldn't charge them - assuming they were willing to cooperate in the case against their nutty professor.
I can't cite a source (could have been from Rush), but I believe she is being allowed to retire and will collect all retirement benefits.
She did not resign, simply went on terminal leave pending retirement.
Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
"urged them to obtain attorneys and to resist being charged by police "
What does she want them to do, tell the police they refuse to accept the charges?
One point that has become clouded in the reporting of this is whether she is being allowed to retire as originally reported or whether she has resigned her post before her retirement. Next, what effect, if any, will this have on her pension?
She deserves to have her tenure and her pension stripped.
Does this sound like an apology?
The ex-professor said: "'Any violence perpetrated against that silly display was minor compared to how I felt when I saw it.'"
As with most members of the Far Left, she simply doesn't "get it"!
Her "violence" was not against the "silly display." It was against the principles and ideas of liberty embedded in our Constitution and its First Amendment.
She views "how I felt" when she "saw" crosses placed there by other citizens commemorating the untimely deaths of babies as a greater "violence" than her leading students in an act which trashed a most basic concept of our Constitution.
No apology here: just a defiant attempt to avoid justice.
She probably just read it on DU and passed it along without really thinking about it.
"You can make it hard to find you"
Isn't this obstruction of justice?
Frankly I think my picture of her is more appealing.
That Prof is going to get an education on how the Justice system works.
Can't she be charged under RICO.
Promoting baby killing and destroying crosses displays the madness mind of this prof kook....So much for the 'liberal' all-inclusive ideas of the university setting. This insecure liberal witch rejects the free speech of others...
she should be prosecuted for destroying property.
lol. Closeup vs. long shot!
