'J. Edgar would be rolling over in his grave if he knew his beloved agents were tracking down great-grannies on misdemeanor charges'
“J. Edgar would be rolling over in his grave if he knew his beloved agents were tracking down great-grannies on misdemeanor charges”This woman was not a rioter. She entered the Capitol building peacefully and prayed for a few minutes. This story is maddening.Rebecca Lavrenz. Late on Thursday, April 4, the third day of deliberation, those hopes were dashed. Rebecca was convicted on all four counts.
. What attracted me to Rebecca’s story is that she is a great-grandmother — a “praying great-grandmother,” as she describes herself. On New Year’s Day 2021, Rebecca got a call from her son asking if she intended to attend the “March to Save America” rally in Washington. Knowing his mom refused to fly because of mandatory masking, he hinted: “You know it’s only a 25-hour drive. You can make it in two days.” Rebecca prayed about it and came to the conclusion: “You know what, I think God’s telling me to go.” And so she went, stopping in St. Louis for a single overnight stay.
At approximately 2:43 p.m. on Jan. 6, Rebecca entered the Capitol through an open door on the more orderly east side of the Capitol. Said Rebecca, “I felt that if those doors opened I was supposed to go through.” After entering, engulfed in a crowd, she ascended the east stairs and headed toward the Rotunda. She didn’t yell, didn’t shout, spoke to one police officer about nothing memorable, and saw no violence or vandalism. Although no one told her to leave, at 2:51 p.m.
J. Edgar would be rolling over in his grave if he knew his beloved agents were tracking down great-grannies on misdemeanor charges, but that’s apparently the FBI’s new mission.
