As the media and Democrats continue to cry treason the Federal Government successfully prosecuted another “insurrectionist” from the January 6th, 2020, occupation of the US Capitol. But not for insurrection.
Imelda Acosta, who was described in court documents by her social media name—Mariposa Castro—was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on one count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol building, a misdemeanor.
Did she get a parking ticket too?
They are going to jail a woman of color for exercising free speech inside the US Capitol that just happened to be on January 6th, for which she will serve 45 days behind bars.
Imelda was a bit worked up.
During one broadcast, Acosta said, “We’re breaking in! We are breaking in! We’re doing this. We’re breaking in, right? … We’re taking our house back. This is our Capitol. We’re taking it back. No more bull[expletive]!”
The Judge, a Bush appointee made a point of talking to Imelda about how she should not be blaming BLM or Antifa for what happened that day. And ‘grand scheme’ he’s right. She is responsible for her own behavior.
Whether she got baited by activists or FBI plants, overcome by the energy or the moment, or if she thought it was the just thing to do, she did it.
Having said that, what she did amounted to another case of nothingburger. The State spent gobs of money to successfully charge this woman with “protesting inside the US Capitol.”
This was, apparently, the best the Feds could do after a plea bargain agreement in which other charges were dropped. You mean the ones you could never get past a judge or jury? Those charges?
Rather than leave empty-handed they strongarmed a woman of color into admitting to a misdemeanor for which she could have easily been let off with no jail time. But the judge wanted to make a point.
Not that the idea that accusations in the press of insurrection are ridiculous but that she, Imelda, shouldn’t be blaming militant leftist groups (that burned neighborhoods, shot people, and in some cases laid siege or seized government buildings elsewhere) for how she ended up inside the US Capitol that day.
And because Imelda is not here illegally and didn’t kill anyone while driving without a license, and she is not a member of BLM or Antifa, the left did nothing to help her.
They may however trumpet her conviction to justify their narrative even if she was convicted of something far less offensive than what protesters and actual sitting US senators did during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
