A Pensylvania woman who allegedly threatened to hang Nancy Pelosi during the 6 January Capitol riots has been ordered back to prison ahead of her trial.
Federal prosecutors had reported that Pauline Bauer was refusing to follow court orders, which led a judge to revoke her pre-trial release at a court hearing on Friday.
Ms Bauer has allegedly refused to surrender her passport, confirm her address, let pretrial services inspect her home or call to check in once a week, all conditions of her release, reports Courthouse News.
NBC 4 Washingtons Scott McFarlane posted on Twitter that Bauer claims she is a sovereign citizen ie one of the growing movement of people who believe that laws do not apply to them. During the hearing, she told the judge that she is not subject to the courts supervision and denied its authority to hold her in custody. I have a right to my self-determination, she told the judge, adding: I do not agree to any tacit agreement that puts me back in the water. I am on the land.

(18,732 posts)I dont want to lock you up [...] Im not concerned about you being a danger to the community but I am very concerned about you being willing to comply with your conditions of release.
Not a danger? She is threatening to kill people? What the eff? She absolutely is a danger and belongs in prison.
So sick of seeing the legal system coddle these MAGA terrorists.

She threatened the Speaker of the House and she went to her office with thousands of others to act on her threat. She then completely ignored the conditions of her release. If she does not belong in jail than who the fuck does!
With all respect your Honor, take your head out of your ass, look at the film, read the transcripts ( here is some news reporting below) and realize this woman is a threat to society, maybe a mental evaluation is in her future too but get her off the streets and dont coach it in you are sorry you have to do it.
Later, according to police body-worn cameras, video captured one person saying, This is where we find Nancy Pelosi, to which Bauer responded, Bring that [expletive] out here now. Bring her out. Bring her out here. Were coming in if you dont bring her out.
Later she was recorded saying Theyre criminals. They need to hang. Bring her out. Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that [expletive.] What are you trying to protect a [expletive] Nazi. Is that what youre protecting?

It would be nice if we could send all of these weirdos who think it would be fun to live in a lawless society to their own island somewhere. In a year or two they'd all kill each other and/or starve to death or die from disease. Problem solved.

(32,061 posts)You already exercised your right to "self-determination" by making death threats on the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, trespassing on the US Capitol, and failing to follow court orders. These are the consequences of your decisions. Now, STFU and live with the results of your actions, you blithering nitwit.
