Deborah Gideon, 53, who was arrested yesterday at Mount Hope Cemetery on the Mattapan/Roslindale line, was arraigned today on eight counts of vandalizing a memorial for an incident at the cemetery last month in which somebody poured an oily substance on eight markers, including one memorial to fallen police officers, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Gideon, a Hyde Park resident, was ordered to undergo a 20-day mental-health evaluation, the DA's office reports, adding her next court appearance, scheduled for May 8, will include arguments on possible bail for her.
Still ongoing are investigations into who poured a red liquid on statues at churches in Hyde Park and Dorchester having a red liquid poured on them and who poured some sort of oily substance on a memorial to World War II veterans at Castle Island.
Innocent, etc.

Per news reports, the court clinician stated that "her rational understanding may be impaired."
Someone who may have acted due to previously-undiagnosed psychosis really doesn't deserve the name calling. Knock it off, OK?

Please tell me they took her license away. Especially since she used her vehicle to commit these crimes.

This is what you are concerned with? You truly have a disturbed mind.
Also, you know that walking was also involved in these crimes, right?

Wanton and malicious destruction is one of those crimes that are on the do-not-prosecute list.

A Google search of "exceptional circumstances" noted by the Suffolk County DA returns one result - gang violence and witness intimidation.
Orwellian law is suck law.
I'm betting she doesn't have a license.

Forgiveness & Protection

It's Easter -- So -- Let's forgive her transgressions
However she clearly needs what today we would call a "Structured Environment" -- in the past we would just dump her in the "Loony Bin"
I'm feeling a bit retro this Easter -- Forgive her and gently place her in the "Loony Bin"
To keep her idle hands occupied -- under supervision let her clean-up her chefs-d'Å“uvre
