Is this justice???
Oh, the irony. Apparently the same county in Florida that let Debra LeFave go last night feels the need to lower the boom on lesbian cheerleaders.
Story:
Police said they arrested two women after they got into a fight with a woman in a Florida night club. Patrons of the bar allege that the women were having sex in one of the stalls. One of the women identified herself to police as a cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers but police have since questioned that identification.
According to police records, they arrested Kristen Lanier Owen, 22, and Angela Ellen Keathley, 26, the names of two Carolina Panthers TopCats. The arrest happened outside Banana Joe's, a bar in downtown Tampa around 2:20 a.m. according to bar staff.

However, police have since questioned the identity of the woman identified as Owen saying another woman may have tried to mislead them by using Owen's North Carolina drivers license or a false licence with Owen's information on it. Officers said they have opened an investigation into the woman's actual identity. 6NEWS spoke with Kristen Owen and she said she was at a wedding in Columbia, South Carolina at the time when she was supposed to be in the Tampa bar.
Owen would not comment on who the other woman was. Her mother told 6NEWS that the woman was another TopCats cheerleader.

Stop me before I get all emotional here.. I don't.. know.. if I want to LIVE in an America where lesbian cheerleaders are persecuted like this. Did we wake up in a dictatorship this morning??? Our gentle sapphic morale builders shouldn't be thrown in the big doll house, perish the thought. Instead, they should be nurtured, supported, and occassionally videotaped.
I know, I know... this story is like low-hanging fruit (it reads like every 19 year old's mastubatory fantasy, doesn't it?), but right on the heels of the child molesting teacher, it was too good to pass up..
