MIKE DAVIS: Don Lemon and his church-storming mob must face Ku Klux Klan, FACE Act charges

The state of worship is simply a cornerstone worth of our Republic enshrined successful the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Last Sunday, a radical of anti-ICE agitators violated this astir ineffable close erstwhile they stormed into Cities Church successful St. Paul, Minn., during religion services, to protestation the pastor’s expected ties to ICE. This mob of leftist bigots included fired CNN anchor Don Lemon, who stunningly claimed they (somehow) had the First Amendment close to target, trespass into, terrify and disrupt a religion work – adjacent based upon the contention and religion of the congregants. Non-attorney Lemon has refused to backmost down – and successful fact, has doubled - down – connected his demonstrably incorrect and unsafe ineligible analysis. For his outrageous transgression behaviour and full deficiency of remorse, Lemon indispensable look ineligible accountability – including national felony charges nether the FACE Act and Ku Klux Klan Act. In short, Lemon indispensable spell to national prison–and for years.

In 1994, Democrats had the trifecta: power of the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Bill and Hillary Clinton White House. Leftist Sen. Ted Kennedy, abortion-industry monopolist Planned Parenthood’s Senate champion, prioritized protecting termination clinics from pro-life Christian protesters. (Protesters and nationalist scrutiny are atrocious for the concern of mass-killing unborn children.) Kennedy led the complaint successful passing the Freedom of Access to Clinical Entrances (FACE) Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248. This instrumentality criminalizes the usage of intimidation oregon unit to impede individuals from entering oregon operating successful termination clinics. But successful bid to triumph the indispensable Senate Republican enactment to flooded a apt legislative filibuster, the compromise statute besides prohibits specified acts with respect to immoderate location of worship. First-time FACE Act offenders, who origin nary injury, mostly look national misdemeanor charges and up to 1 twelvemonth successful national prison. Repeat offenders oregon offenders who marque threats, usage unit oregon origin wounded mostly look national felony charges and years successful national prison.

The Biden Justice Department did not hesitate to enforce the FACE Act against abortion-clinic protesters; successful fact, the Biden DOJ enforced the FACE Act mercilessly. This included coupling FACE Act charges with national conspiracy charges nether the Ku Klux Klan Act (18 U.S.C. § 241) — passed aft the Civil War to punish individuals who conspire to interruption the civilian rights of others. The Biden DOJ threw the publication astatine and imprisoned — for years — aged Christians, young pro-life Black mothers, and the like. Meanwhile, the Biden DOJ gave amnesty to left-wing extremist who attacked White churches, synagogues, and pro-life gestation centers — but nary uncertainty not achromatic churches oregon mosques.

For instance, the Biden DOJ imprisoned for 2 years Paulette Harlow – astatine property 75 – with FACE Act and Klan Act charges aft she protested extracurricular an termination clinic. The Biden DOJ had a young Black mother, Bevelyn Williams, thrown successful situation for 41 months for FACE Act and Klan Act violations for protesting astatine a Manhattan termination clinic.

NYT SLAMMED OVER REPORT SAYING PROTEST AT MINNESOTA CHURCH SERVICE 'ADDS TO TENSIONS OVER ICE TACTICS'

Lemon and his conspirators’ church-crashing past Sunday constituted textbook violations of the FACE Act and Klan Act. Cities Church worshippers were wrong during a spiritual service. All of a sudden, a radical of anti-ICE agitators barged successful and began yelling astatine the churchgoers. The worshipers included tiny children, who were understandably frightened by the events. Just past year, a trans-terrorist busted into the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis, murdered 2 children, and injured dozens more. As such, the fearfulness Lemon and his chap modern-day klansmen would go convulsive was eminently reasonable. And Lemon was close successful the mediate of the mob, approaching parishioners – and adjacent the pastor connected the pulpit during the religion work – with his microphone and interrogating them. One antheral told Lemon the protesters had nary close to travel into the religion and statesman yelling. Lemon claimed that the First Amendment allows specified misconduct–but helium is plainly and dangerously wrong.

The First Amendment, among different things, mostly prohibits Congress from unlawfully restricting escaped code oregon spiritual expression. The protesters’ actions are not protected by the First Amendment oregon immoderate different proviso of law. This religion is backstage property. Worshipers were asserting their ain First Amendment close to workout their religion freely by worshipping. If the First Amendment protected actions similar those of the protesters, past radical could barge into immoderate spiritual work and statesman shouting to protestation anything. The pro-Hamas crowd, for instance, could tempest synagogues and obstruction against the "genocide" successful Gaza. Individuals opposed to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani could clang a work astatine a mosque to obstruction against his socialist policies. White men could clang a achromatic religion work to protestation DEI policies. The examples of the chaos that would beryllium permissible nether non-attorney Lemon’s absurd ineligible mentation are endless.

Fortunately for decent society, Lemon’s ineligible mentation is not the law. Neither the Supreme Court nor immoderate tribunal has ever sanctioned protesters’ storming into a spiritual work to prosecute successful specified disruptive misconduct. The behaviour of these agitators interfered with the First Amendment rights of the worshippers, but Lemon appears to person nary respect for these First Amendment rights. Neither does Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a extremist leftist disgrace. When asked astir the storming of the church, Ellison responded that "[n]one of america are immune from the dependable of the public." This absurd connection crumbles upon the slightest scrutiny. Would Ellison, a Muslim, enactment radical who charged into a mosque work yelling that each Muslims should beryllium deported? Of people not. He would shriek Islamophobia and complaint the trespassers.

Lemon besides claimed that helium was simply covering the rally arsenic a journalist. Even if true, respective individuals made the aforesaid statement concerning the Capitol riot connected January 6, 2021. These radical were successful the Capitol and engaged successful nary violence. The Biden Justice Department, however, inactive charged them with trespassing. Journalists are taxable to trespassing laws conscionable similar everyone else; otherwise, journalists could ascent implicit fences and participate one’s gait without permission. Journalists could adjacent participate individuals’ homes nether this absurd theory. Lemon besides asserted that helium had nary thought that the protesters, who are affiliated with Black Lives Matter, were going to the religion until they arrived.

Lemon and his co-conspirators intelligibly violated the national FACE Act. And these thugs look different imaginable complaint nether the modern-day mentation of the Ku Klux Klan Act. Here, Lemon and his chap modern-day klansmen conspired to deprive the pastor and his parishioners of the close to worship by storming their church. The instrumentality besides provides for imaginable civilian liability arsenic to authorities officials who neglect to enactment to halt specified unlawful conduct. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, 2 modern-day confederates, person appeared to instrumentality nary existent steps to clasp these anarchists accountable; indeed, Ellison appeared to connection a connection of defence for their despicable conduct.

Minnesota has descended into lawlessness. Billions of payer dollars are squandered due to the fact that of rampant fraud, mostly concerning the Somali community. Because of deranged anti-ICE rhetoric from inept confederate-like leaders Walz, Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (i.e., calling the national government’s beingness an penetration and claiming that Minnesota is astatine warfare with the national government), modern-day klansmen successful Minnesota, similar Lemon, person bully crushed to deliberation that it is unfastened play connected national instrumentality enforcement–because authorities authorities volition bash thing astir unit directed against ICE and adjacent citizens supposedly associated with ICE. Those who stormed the church–especially Lemon – indispensable person indictments to punish them and nonstop a crystal wide connection to each different modern-day klansmen who is contemplating a akin act. We cannot tolerate this seditious and bigoted misconduct, and immoderate perpetrator similar Lemon indispensable walk a agelong clip successful national prison.
