Minn. church rioters, Don Lemon must be prosecuted under this law

Nathaniel Hawthorne famously opined that “no man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” There is, no doubt, truth in that statement as it pertains to man.

Fortunately, however, the same cannot be said of federal statutes.

The federal FACE Act, Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, does indeed have two “faces.”

One face prohibits the use of force or threat of force to obstruct, injure, interfere, intimidate, or attempt to do any of those things to women seeking access to clinics. 18 U.S.C. §248(a)(1).

The second face prohibits the use of force or threat of force to obstruct, injure, interfere, or intimidate “any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of worship.” 18 U.S.C. §248(a)(2).

It is the latter that pertains to the mulishly malevolent Marxist mob who stormed the hallowed ground of a church sanctuary in St. Paul on Sunday to disrupt a religious worship service.

Violations of the statute result in imprisonment for six months, a fine of $10,000, or both. The United States Department of Justice needs to shackle every one of the so-called “protesters” who stormed the holy sanctuary of religious congregants, prosecute them, and seek the harshest penalties allowed by law.
