For a nonviolent misdemeanor?

72-year-old Rebecca Lavrenz, dubbed the “J6 praying grandma,” has been hit with a staggering $103,000 fine for her brief presence inside the U. S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The Associated Press reported that Lavrenz, who reportedly spent a mere 10 minutes inside the building, was also sentenced to one year’s probation, with the first six months under home confinement and a ban on internet access.

Her crime? Peacefully entering the Capitol building on January 6th for 10 minutes & praying silently. She has no criminal record, engaged in 0 property damage and 0 violence.

Prosecutors argued that Lavrenz’s “unrepentant promotion of the riot” posed a threat to "future political stability".

She's actually a great-grandmother. Oh, what a danger to society!
