When people ask me why I despise the government, stories like this come to mind.

A Falcon, Colorado, woman convicted for entering the United States Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021 while the riot was occurring was sentenced on Monday to one year of probation.

Rebecca Lavrenz, known as “J6 Praying Grandma” on social media, is also being forced to fork over $103,500 in fines after being convicted of four misdemeanor counts, the Colorado Sun reported. //

federal prosecutors asked the judge to throw Lavrenz in a cage for ten months and put her on supervised release and 60 hours of community service. They argued that she has been “one of the loudest public voices calling the prosecution of January 6 riots a corrupt exercise.”

The prosecutors acknowledged Lavrenz’s First Amendment rights but insisted that “her unrepentant promotion of the riot is powerful evidence that she continues to pose a threat to future acts of political violence like that which engulfed the nation on January 6.” //

Even further, prosecutors argued in favor of the fine because the defendant – wait for it – participated in interviews and used online fundraising accounts to supposedly seek “celebrity status” for her supposed criminality. How dare she try to raise funds for her legal defense, right? //

Unfortunately, Lavrenz is not the only one. People get railroaded by government at the federal, state, and local levels on a daily basis. //

Jeff, did you catch Glen Beck today? He featured a woman that survived Yugoslavian concentration camps and has now been sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating the FACE Act. She said she is fully prepared to die in prison. This government is not the United States. We’ve already been taken over.
