That's certainly more compelling than having the same name. They say everyone has a double/doppelganger - I've actually seen mine a couple of times - but the odds of the two having the same name are astronomical. Here's hoping someone arrests this rabble rouser for threatening the professor. I don't expect our soft-on-crime judiciary would actually deport her but there's always a chance, I suppose. (There was a case about 30 years ago where a foreigner had been convicted of attempted murder and was sentenced to be deported. In order to complete the deportation, his home country needed to issue him a passport which required a photo. The convicted criminal refused to pose for the picture - repeatedly - so the courts decided to simply let him go right back to his life here in Canada!! I have no idea what theory of jurisprudence they utilized to come to that decision but I still remember it for its mind-boggling stupidity.) -- Rhino
