Kansas City, Mo. ? A peace activist who claims the laws of the United States are “weapons of mass destruction” has promised to strike again, inviting the judge who sentenced her to prison for her latest protest to come along and watch.

“What you will be doing today is setting the date for my next action, and I invite you to be there that day,” Helen Woodson said Wednesday.

A few moments later, U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple sentenced Woodson, 61, to four years and three months in prison for threatening federal officials and pouring a mixture of paint and juice on a federal courthouse security station.

Whipple responded to Woodson’s prediction by calling her a “freeloader” who had abandoned children she adopted before going to prison for a 1984 protest near Whiteman Air Force Base.

“You have taken a whole life from the seven children you adopted and abandoned,” Whipple said. “You abandoned three developmentally disabled children to be cared for by other persons and public institutions. … You’re a very selfish, self-centered person. That’s a disgrace.”

Woodson was detained by deputy U.S. marshals on March 10 after she threw a mixture of red paint and cranberry juice, which resembled blood, on a security desk and screening device at city’s federal courthouse.

The day before, she had mailed threatening letters to judges and the commander at Whiteman. The next morning, she sent similar letters titled “Second Warning.” And before coming to the courthouse on March 10, she called a courthouse employee, saying there was a weapon of mass destruction in the building.

During her sentencing, Woodson explained her March protest, saying she acted because there is so much evil in society — including nuclear weapons, toxic chemicals, abortion and capital punishment — that is legal.
