Arrests Happening for Church Rioters

[Lockback]

No it's not, it's a clear violation of federal law and FACE Act

You're being deliberately obtuse

I'm not sure it's deliberate. I think he's just obtuse.

Good luck. Should be an interesting case considering what can and can't be considered first amendment rights.

Trump's DoJ isn't exactly brimming with competent prosecutors.

Walking into a church is not a first amendment right. The church is private property. Blocking traffic, blocking entrances are all illegal. Protesting is a first amendment right but not on private property. The J6 protests have a stronger right than this group.

Yeah, that's him.

Object of manhunt currently.

Has already been provided in the thread.

Their convictions were wiped away by Trump’s pardon.

Bull freakin shit! You threw that out there, then since have refused to provide ANY proof of such...You lying POS....You think because you say it, it becomes fact?

Give us the names or be branded a liar....AGAIN!

Are you talking about ICE scaring the crap out of children?

You might want to catch up on current events.

Report: Parents who raised $170,000 by claiming ICE gassed their kids on the way home from a basketball game lied about the whole thing

Turns out it's really easy to make money in America by lying.

When the entirety of the illegal conduct boils down to their speech, you may intersect with the 1st amendment.

You cannot hide behind the first amendment to trample on other's first amendment rights.

He travels all over the country to 'protest', they need to find out who's paying him and Congress needs to make it illegal to buy 'protestors'.

 

[jknowgood]

Did they threaten anyone? Did they physically impede anyone?

An old lady just standing and praying in front of an an abortion clinic. Got arrested, these people should get the same.

Some mere magistrate judge thinks he can direct that the DOJ not arrest Don Lemon.

Magistrate judge rejects charges against Don Lemon in connection with anti-ICE church protest

A federal magistrate judge rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to bring charges against former CNN anchor Don Lemon in connection with Sunday’s wild church protest.

It will be interesting to see if this judicial interference gets appealed.

The judicial branch is looking like a complete joke

No it's not, it's a clear violation of federal law and FACE Act

You're being deliberately obtuse

Not entirely clear. FACE is mostly concerned with people blocking access (as was happening in the abortion clinics that I pointed out) and using threats or force.

They might be able to be prosecuted under the FACE act, but they didn’t barricade doors and as far as I can tell haven’t been threatening people but I haven’t seen everything.

Nobody is buying your bs dude

It's open to the public, so it's not like they're immediately trespassing just by walking in. But again, trespassing isn't a federal charge.

FACE Act is. You can't get around it so you need to stop

 

[SweetSue92]

It’s open to the public, and they’re free to trespass them.

But that’s not a federal charge.

Breaking and entering is stupid.

"Open to the public" does not mean the private business/church has no right to kick you out if you're disruptive. Hello?

The federal charge is FACE law 3. If MN was actually a lawful state, they would also be charged with trespassing, etc.

You've yet to respond substantively to the points I brought up.

I should have known better.....I may a well try to teach a chimp quantum physics as to converse with you.

I never said otherwise. But this isn't about trespassing.

Maybe, maybe not. These protestors did less than the protestors in at the abortion clinics that Trump pardoned.

 

[SweetSue92]

Apparently the judicial activism has begun.

Minnesota magistrate judge rejects charges against Don Lemon over anti-ICE church protest, blocks some charges for 2 protesters

The Justice Dept. suggested independent journalist Don Lemon could be charged after he was seen in video of a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday.

www.cbsnews.com

This 'judge' thinks you can use the 1st Amendment to trample on the 1st Amendment. Absolute lunacy.

It's not even a first amendment issue so much as it's trespassing. When you've been asked to leave and you don't it's trespassing.

Don Lemon is SHOOK on his live....ha

Nah, he is excited, he would love being prison raped.
