MN will not prosecute church invaders

In January, dozens of anti-ICE protesters, and former CNN journalist Don Lemon, descended upon the church and disrupted a mass because a church official had connections to ICE.

The demonstrators could have been charged with such offenses as disorderly conduct, interfering with a religious observance, knowingly participating in a noisy assembly and making or continuing a disturbing or excessive noise.

Kao offers little more than a shrug: “Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes.”

There are 39 people still charged by the federal government under the FACE Act.

Kao insisted, “The right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the right to exercise one’s religious beliefs. Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today.”

This is not protected free speech. It is conduct. Indeed, it is criminal conduct.

While Kao stressed that there was no property damage, it is not required under these criminal charges.

So according to the Leftist Kao, these people were just exercising their 1 amendment right to interrupt a religious service and not leave when asked to leave.   

So, how can we apply this logic to Jan 6?   The people entered the Capitol building were only exercising their free speech rights.   Those that damaged property should be prosecuted and were.   The rest, under the reasoning of this MN decision not to prosecute, are innocent of any charges.

You might be on to something but it’s probably illegal to treat dimocrax the same as conservatives.

That must be the highest law - Dims and leftists get passes while conservatives and Rs get prison time for jaywalking.

I’ve never heard of a dimocrax being charged with parading.

Never expect justice from the people who want everything you work for. They only know greed and hate.
