Sometimes you might wonder what it would be like living in a country where the Gestapo is looking over your shoulder, searching for a misstep over which they could put you in handcuffs and then throw you in prison after a “trial by your peers.” Well, these days it doesn’t appear that you have to look far!
The Biden regime and its DOJ have just orchestrated the trial of 70-year-old Rebecca Lavrenz, a 70-year-old grandmother whose crime was PRAYING IN THE U.S. CAPITOL on Jan 6th.
From National Pulse:
“Rebecca Lavrenz, the 71-year-old great-grandmother charged by the Department of Justice for her peaceful participation in the January 6, 2021, rally in Washington DC, plans to appeal the Thursday verdict that could see her locked up for three years,
Lavrenz is a mother of four, grandmother of seven, and great grandmother of one. She maintains her attendance at the January 6, 2021 was to “peacefully assemble” and pray for our nation. She spent about ten minutes inside the Capitol building, which is usually open to the public, after police moved aside and allowed protesters in.Almost two years after the rally, Lavrenz — who has no criminal record or any history of violence — was charged by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice on four federal criminal misdemeanor counts:
1) Entering and remaining in a restricted building;
2) disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds;
3) disorderly conduct in a capitol building;
4) parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol.
With sentencing in August, Lavrenz face up to three years in prison and over a quarter of a million dollars in fines.
“Lavrenz was forced to surrender to the FBI where she was turned over to the U.S. Marshals at the United States District Court in Denver, Colorado.
After being handcuffed, with a belly chain around her waist and chains around her ankles, this great-grandmother was held in a federal prison. After hours of confinement, Rebecca was brought before the court in shackles and read her charges. Her passport was surrendered, and she was released on probation until her jury trial.”
“I am in utter disbelief by [the] verdict. Never in my life did I imagine that my own government would charge me as a criminal for exercising my religious liberties and rights to free speech, which are guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution,” Lavrenz said.
To me stories like this are beyond belief!
