Alt-right activist gets off with a warning after trespassing, trying to enter Pelosi's home

Source: DailyKos





Tuesday January 15, 2019 · 9:40 AM CST


Laura Loomer is a far-right activist with a history of embracing conspiracy theories and trying to whip up controversy. After she was banned from Twitter for a variety of anti-Muslim attacks, she chained herself to the front doors of Twitter headquarters. Well, she changed herself to one side while perplexed employees and associates continued using the other door. She wore a coat with a yellow star of David, the patch many Jewish people were forced to wear during the Holocaust to identify themselves. And no, I’m not making it up.

She’s also been banned from Uber and Lyft for her anti-Muslim statements. And now she’s back at it again. In an effort to protest sanctuary cities and promote Donald Trump’s wall, she and a couple of people she claimed were undocumented immigrants scaled the fence around Nancy Pelosi’s California home and set-up their own “sanctuary city.” The Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer was on-hand to live-tweet the stunt and if these men really were undocumented, Loomer likely got them in a whole lot of trouble.................

Anyone know if Pelosi has secret Service protection from these crazies?? Why did she only get a warning when she said she tried to enter but door was locked??

One of Loomer's pals is urging viewers to come and ask for "sanctuary" at Pelosi's house. He claims they'll be allowed to stay and won't get in legal trouble because "we're not antifa." Hmm!

Now Laura Loomer is back and saying she tried to open the doors to Pelosi's house, but they were locked. This seems like an unwise thing to be admitting!

Laura Loomer Tricks ‘Undocumented’ Men for Her Latest Stunt
She is EVIL!

.........................................

While trespassing on Pelosi’s property, Loomer tricked three men she described as undocumented immigrants into joining her, setting them up for an inevitable confrontation with police. Loomer tells The Daily Beast that she found the men in a Home Depot parking lot, and convinced them to come set up the tent on Pelosi’s property.

It’s not clear whether the men knew that they were being duped into committing crimes at a home owned by one of the most powerful lawmakers in America. They certainly didn’t seem to know what was going on during livestreams of the event, and they later required a Spanish translator to understand what the cops were telling them.

When police arrived, they mostly ignored Loomer and her rants about the border wall. Instead, they focused on the three men, who weren’t able to provide any identification, according to the livestreamed footage from Loomer’s friends. Before taking the men aside, one sheriff’s deputy told Loomer she’d put the men in a tough spot by setting them up for an encounter with law enforcement.

Throughout it all, Loomer and her cohort, which included Charlottesville Unite the Right marcher Antonio Foreman, made condescending and often racist quips about the men. Loomer ordered them up to Pelosi’s house with shouts of “Vamonos!” and one of her friends asked whether a taco truck would be joining them.

Fortunately for the men, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office decided to let them go. After a Pelosi representative declined to press charges against the group, the men were released without fines, according to a spokesman for the Napa sheriff. ....................................

In other news today, three other morons are vying for the Darwin Award by introducing legislation that gives 10 million WV surplus dollars to fund Trumps Wall. All the poverty stricken people in WV and they want to fund a wall. They think 90% of illegal drugs come from Mexico. In the Eastern Panhandle the drugs arrive from Baltimore Md.

She's nutty enough.

Seriously though, what she did is really creepy - I'd press charges.

She demonstrated that determined folks can scale fences and that they don’t keep out nutjobs.

Also what is necessary is monitoring and rapid response.

that a wall will work?

There was a time when I would have been surprised at this kind of stupidity. But that time has passed.
