I’m reading numerous reports claiming that a magistrate judge refused to sign off on charges against Don Lemon over the ambush of the Cities Church in St. Paul, MN.
A magistrate judge handles warrants, arraignments, bail hearings, and pretrial motions, hearings in civil and criminal cases. Basically, an assistant to a district judge.
The feds have arrested three people for allegedly participating in the ambush, including the organizer.
A person told CBS News that Attorney General Pam Bondi “is enraged at the magistrate’s decision.”
Lemon live-streamed the anti-ICE psychos storming into the church, interrupting the service.
Lemon even accosted the pastor, trying to lecture him on the First Amendment and free speech.
The pastor fought back, reminding Lemon that his actions were unacceptable and shameful.
So why does Lemon get the special treatment, but Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen, and William Kelly face charges?
The FACE Act LITRALLY says in § 248(a)(2) that a person violates the act if they:
by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship;
A simple Google search tells you that journalists are not exempt from the FACE Act or other federal criminal laws, even if they are performing their job.
You are NOT allowed to break the law, no matter what, even if you’re gathering the news.
This is not hard.
