Chamblee54

There was a post at Chamblee54 a few days ago, Fungus Grows Hugely On A Corpse. It had a video of a speech made at a city council meeting in Lincoln, NE. A lady gave a vivid performance. In the past few days, we have learned a few things about Jane Svoboda, aka the Crazy Blue Protesting Lady.
In case you didn’t notice, the lady has serious issues. According to the Lincoln Journal Star, “Svoboda lives at an assisted-living facility in Lincoln and is listed as a protected person, according to court documents. Her brother, Patrick Svoboda of Ogallala, is her conservator because she is incompetent, the documents say. He was unaware of the video’s popularity, but wasn’t surprised — he knew it would be a matter of time before she got in trouble somewhere.
He said he’s disappointed the video garnered such attention and jokes without the whole story. “To me, it shows how little society really cares about people with mental health issues,” Patrick Svoboda said. “She does have a very tender heart … but anything she says is certifiably schizophrenic … she’s not some crazy conservative.” He said her family has tried to get her help multiple times, but unless she harms herself or others, there’s not much more they can do.”
Miss Svoboda is a fixture around Lincoln. She has distributed hundreds of flyers, and often goes on the University of Nebraska campus. Her activity is chronicled in a blog, Crazy Blue Protesting Lady. As the video above shows, in cold weather she wears a bright blue outfit.
The blog has hundreds of her flyers. Most have an all caps headline, PARADISE ON EARTH. The sub headline says KINDNESS IS THE ESSENTIAL BEHAVIOR TO SUSTAIN LIFE. The flyers cover a wide range of topics, many of which seem a bit nutty. But then, most everyone has some ideas, or beliefs, that seem nutty to others. Many find great enjoyment in expressing those ideas. Apparently, there is a line that is crossed when you unintentionally make a viral video.
It should be noted that the target of her abuse, in this video, is homosexuals. Apparently, this is ok. If she had made a speech like that about Jews, or African Americans, she might be in jail. or dead. Even a crazy lady knows who it is safe to pick on.
There were two people behind CBPL in her viral video. The expressive young man has hired an agent. The other old lady gave a moving speech to the city council, which is embedded in this post.
