    Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier from Fort Worth returned to the Texas Capitol on Monday but says she remains locked inside the Capitol because she wouldn’t sign a permission slip to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

    If they are holding her against her will with no legal right to do so, isn’t that kidnapping?

          Only for white men. This is a black lady, she’d be the one being stood against.

          Although I suppose people could try gaslighting the jackboots into thinking the capitol building is a school?
