What is the FACE Act?

 What Is The FACE Act Law? Federal Protection Against Violence And Intimidation—Criminal Penalties And Nationwide Enforcement Explained  

All the Evidence Don Lemon Was a PARTICIPANT in the Church Disruption and Not a Journalist

"The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 248, is a federal law enacted in 1994 that prohibits violence, threats, intimidation, and property damage targeting individuals seeking or providing reproductive health services, as well as individuals at places of religious worship—the law is enforced by the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation and carries criminal penalties including up to 11 years imprisonment for violent conduct and fines up to $250,000.

"The Department of Justice has filed more than 15 FACE actions in more than a dozen states since the law’s enactment, demonstrating federal commitment to protecting constitutional rights and public safety at covered facilities." . . .

Dershowitz: You can't disrupt a church service | The Record with Greta Van Susteren "On Friday's "The Record with Greta Van Susteren," Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz discussed whether or not Don Lemon or Minnesota church protestors are legally allowed to be indicted. "

Highlights from Don Lemon’s indictment

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America isn’t complicated:   

"So let’s be clear where is mind is at. He doesn’t say “they” are about to do this thing. He says “we.” Don Lemon in his own words:" . . ."

. . . "For openers, the indictment alleges that Lemon met the group of 30 or so co-conspirators for a “pre-op” planning session in which the leaders of the group “provided instruction on how the operation would be conducted once they arrived at the church.” Later that morning, Don Lemon “began live-streaming” and “explained to his audience” he was with a group about to perform a “resistance” operation, but he did not mention that it was in church. He kept that part secret. That decision on his part, the government alleges, was an “over act” in furtherance of the conspiracy. (Overt Act #5).

As someone on X observed, if it’s okay for Don Lemon to disrupt church services and physically block parishioners trying to exit while trying to “educate” them on immigration law, then it’s okay for a pro-lifer to enter the an abortion clinic and intimidate and harass the pregnant patients there waiting for their abortions while trying to “educate” them on the baby they’re carrying. Of course, we would never do that, but that’s the flip side of this coin.

So let’s be clear where is mind is at. He doesn’t say “they” are about to do this thing. He says “we.” Don Lemon in his own words:" . . .   “after we do this operation” —Don Lemon

Don Lemon and 3 Others Arrested, Charged With Conspiracy to Deprive Civil Rights and FACE Act Violations › American Greatness   

"Lemon “briefly resisted” his arrest “after he had been handcuffed in a Los Angeles hotel lobby and was taken to an elevator,” law enforcement sources told Newsmax reporter James Rosen.

"Agitators disrupted the service and “intimidated, harassed, oppressed, and terrorized the parishioners, including young children, and caused the service to be cut short,” according to a federal affidavit."

"Churchgoers told law enforcement that members of their parish attempted to retrieve their children from a childcare area located downstairs, but the agitators were blocking the stairs, and the parents were unable to get to their children. One churchgoer later expressed fear that the agitators may have guns underneath their jackets and noted that aisles were blocked, making it difficult to leave." . . .

 . . . "Lemon, in his own words, knew what the protesters were going to do, and agreed that “traumatic and uncomfortable” was exactly what these white (as he observed later in an interview) parishioners, coming from an “entitled” place of “white supremacy,” needed to experience. I sincerely hope they add a hate crime to this thing. I’m not fond of “hate crime” laws as a general matter, but if we got ‘em, we should use ‘em." . . .

As MSNOW would have it: Elie Mystal Says Don Lemon Getting Arrested Is White Supremacy  “It’s limited to speech, which means it does not protect the method of gathering the information or delivering the information as a journalist. What you say is not a problem. If you say something offensive, that is protected. It’s not the words, it’s the weapons.”

"The question at hand is what to do when journalists are no longer acting as journalists but have turned into activists, and, in some cases, have engaged in crimes.

" 'That is really what this discussion is about and what this decision is going to be,” Crowder added." . . .

Gavin Newsom is no Winston Churchill; sycophantic California is run by Hollywood bullies

"The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best, or an infraction. It doesn't make any sense. It's not a good public policy decision, and it wasn't well thought out in my opinion."  Let Jimmy Kimmel cry. 

Gov. Gavin Newsom, Fiddled On While California Burned

 LAPD Chief Stiff-Arms Gavin Newsom, Won't Enforce Moronic Anti-ICE Law

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, like most other Democrat governors, has been doing all he can to impede U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prevent them from upholding immigration laws that were enacted by Congress. Although it was his predecessor, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, who declared California a sanctuary state in 2017, Newsom has done nothing to overturn that and has, in fact, railed endlessly against President Donald Trump and ICE for daring to attempt to solve the illegal alien crisis.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell says his department will NOT enforce the “mask ban” on federal agents..

 LA-Area Fire Chief Mops the Floor With Mayor Karen Bass Over Disastrous Wildfire Response

Why a white liberal woman refused to report the men who gang raped her

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

. . . "she explains that she couldn’t report the alleged attack because she opposes prisons, yearning for their “complete dismantling,” and refuses to participate in getting someone incarcerated:" . . .

"Imagine that you are gang raped for hours in a Las Vegas hotel room, and that you don’t come from a culture that blames the victim, nor do you feel personal shame about the fact that you were so terribly victimized. If you’ve got that fixed in your mind, ask yourself this question: When the attack ends, do you (a) notify the police or (b) say nothing until four years later, when you write an almost incoherent screed explaining how your principles kept you from reporting the crime.

"If you answered (a), congratulations, you’re normal. If you answered (b), you’re an AWFL (“Angry White Female Liberal”). 

"More specifically, you’re Anna Krauthamer, a writer, doctoral candidate at Columbia University in English literature (i.e., future English teacher), and an “Emeriti Executive Coordinator” for the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought” (“CCCCT”), which is a part of Columbia Law School. The CCCCT, in turn, is pure Marxism. I know this because its goal is “to achieve a critical praxis for our future.” Only Marxists seriously use the word “praxis,” and they do so in terms of advancing the revolution." . . .

(3) The worst example of this is how those “widely discredited” stories of raped Israeli women were used to “manufacture...consent for the merciless slaughter of ‘savage’ Palestinians...” In other words, when Israel cried rape, it was a lie to dehumanize Palestinians and then kill them. I assume she would say that this video of a bloodied Naama Levy, clearly ripped by rape, was staged. Ironically, while Hamas proudly published its rapes, the Marxist West pretended it wasn’t so.
