Arrested for Holding a Protest Sign in Small-town California
The case of a former preschool teacher with no criminal history tried and convicted for a peaceful demonstration was shocking even for Shasta county, which has drawn international attention for its rowdy and radical brand of conservative politics.

I get their position. The pursuit of charges seems like persecution in this case. I mean seriously - 6 months in jail is mind blowing. Punishment did not fit the crime at all.

Thought it was house arrest?
Seems reasonable if J6 is to be used as an argument, she was obstructing a governmental proceeding.
I think if she stood back where citizens are, or protested out side it would be fine.
But sitting up there is intimidating for people to speak there peace at a council meeting.

Yep.
For starters...
To attempt to equate a peaceful protest with J6 fails at the outset.

Whoa.
I did not know that.
So, what, did they try to create a new message board?
If so, how did that work out? Given the popularity of FoxNews, my first guess would be that it worked out well for them.
But I do not know, just guesses here ....

How can her husband be a "fagat" if he is married to a woman? "Should have hung the bitch"? I guess the next time you lazy fat treasonous Proud Boyz types wish to invade the US or a state Capitol they should get the same treatment. GFO now ------- the adults are talking here and there is no room for sissies to put in their fascist nazi thoughts.

Interesting point.
But I still contend she is disturbing a government proceedings, as well as intimidating others from expressing their PoV.

Strange you just noticed it, my guess is you support the woman. Whereas if you didn't, you wouldn't care.
Because every day there are at least 20 posts that at homophobic, they just aren't aimed at your "people".

Hey moron, you should go get checked for Alzheimer's, your memory of events is completely tainted by rightwing misinformation.
A mob of parents attacked a school board. Which you seem to think is appropriate.
No school library had ever had pornography in it. Ever.

Yeah! Get it???
It's like, you know, FUNNY that Bellringer accused the FBI of labeling innocent parents domestic terrorists, while ignoring videos other posters put up of those parents making violent and lethal threats to governing boards.
Hilarious!!!
Even funnier: The Trump Administration accusing two murdered citizens of "domestic terrorism", and Bell doesn't push back AT ALL. Side-splitting!!!
