On the other hand, I like to know what kind of nutjobs are running around my country and what they’re up to. I know that it gives them fuel, but I also have a legitimate right to know what’s going on so that I can respond accordingly.
Possibly? I think most of what she’s said has been pretty vague and undirected. If there are charges that would stick I’m happy to see prosecution, I’m just concerned about bending the law to nab someone obviously despicable but technically law abiding.
Call in an air strike. But you have a point. We will just be stooping down to their level. They are like very bad neighbors. Give it time, they will stumble. My worry is someone innocent will get hurt in the process.
People already are being hurt, people fall into the cult and lose everything, it’s sad.
We need a organized mob to run em outta town. The cops can either join the mob or take the day off. No violence, just do what they do and be loud and obnoxious, blockade the sobs till they agree to leave on foot.

She’s been around for years and has been thriving in QAnon/sovereign citizen/COVID conspiracy theorist circles without the media coverage.
Shining light on this nutjob is not going to make things any worse, and it’s about time normies came to understand the crazy in their midst.
Aren’t there a bunch of charges she could fall under? Incitement, threats?

That already is happening, but they just grift harder and people throw money at them.
I’m sure the people of Richmound, SK have a few ideas.
