Three nuns in their sixties are awaiting heavy sentencing for breaking into a nuclear missile site and painting crosses on the silo cover in their own blood, plus some fairly symbolic (given that the nun in the picture is fairly petite-- your fun size nun, if you will) hammer damage. Their lawyer says the serious crackdown by the Man is due to intolerance of dissent since you-know-what, but I'm betting that it may have something to do with how far several fairly small non-muscular older ladies got in their quest, and how very much further anyone with any active malice or appropriate tools would get.
