To be fair, she probably wasn't stable to begin with.

I really take issue with her being described as "armed to the teeth."

Here's an article that doesn't treat her like some sort of hero

That's right.  YOU are 'armed to the teeth.'  There must be standards!

I have the same question the article does--How is she trespassing if she is OUTSIDE of the base?

The carrying weapons part I dislike also, but that one part confuses me.

On the property but outside of the buildings most likely.  She's on the base, but outside of it, in a manner of speaking.

Anarchist arrested after tweeting out the fuzz to protesters

If you're the subversive type, you might want to reconsider tweeting the revolution. One Twitter user has been arrested and had his home raided after he allegedly used the service to help others commit crimes, though he may have just been directing them to be cautious during their protests.

When deciding how to organize activities of questionable legal nature, it's not always wise to choose a popular and widely available communications medium that even the police know about. When 41-year-old anarchist Elliot Madison got himself arrested in late September, he learned that lesson the hard way. Madison had been found using a police scanner and Twitter to help numerous protesters avoid police during the Group of 20 summit and has now been charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution, criminal use of a communication facility, and possession of instruments of crime.

Madison was found in a hotel room by Pennsylvania State Police on September 24, armed with police scanners and computers so that he could disperse critical information to protesters. According to the FBI, Madison was "directing others, specifically protesters of the G-20 summit, in order to avoid apprehension after a lawful order to disperse."

Though the FBI says so, it's not entirely clear from the complaint that Madison's tweets were actually illegal. Madison's lawyer told the New York Times on Saturday that he and a friend were merely "part of a communications network among people protesting the G-20." As implied through the Times piece, Madison's tweets merely directed protestors as to where the police were at any given time and to stay alert. "There’s absolutely nothing that he’s done that should subject him to any criminal liability."
