The deranged woman who disgracefully vandalized the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. has just been set free.
Despite the DOJ’s request to keep her held as a flight risk, U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew J. Sharbaugh released 41-year-old Melissa Farris.
She is now out of custody, pending her next court hearing on September 3rd.
Fox News covered the latest update in this clip:
Even more infuriatingly, Melissa Farris was cut loose without having to post bond.
The judge did, however, impose certain conditions for her release.
WJLA reported:
The court ordered Farris to submit to supervision through the Pretrial Services Agency for the Northern District of Ohio no later than Aug. 20. She was also ordered to surrender any passport and not obtain a new passport or other international travel document.
Under the conditions of her release, the court must approve any travel outside the continental United States.
The order also requires Farris to stay out of Washington, D.C., except for court or Pretrial Services Agency business. She must stay away from the Veterans Memorial and report to the Pretrial Services Agency for a mental health screening and possible connection to mental health services if necessary.
Farris must also verify her address with Pretrial Services and sign required releases of information.
The court’s standard conditions prohibit Farris from violating federal, state or local law while on release and require her to appear for future court proceedings.
Court records show Farris was released on a personal recognizance bond, meaning the bond was not secured by cash or property.
Melissa Farris has confessed to defacing the WWII Memorial.
She didn’t even try to hide it or cover it up.
In fact, she proudly livestreamed herself vandalizing the memorial and told followers to make her look “fancy” before eventually turning herself in.

What do you think?
Is it fair for this crazy woman to be released from custody after vandalizing a sacred memorial for fallen heroes?

Oh brother 🙄
I never figured anything else so not surprised...
She certainly has a masculine visage . . . reminds me of my late grandfather!
Did she pinky swear to not run?
Judges should be held accountable for their decisions.
She looks like a dude, Jim.
I’m not overly troubled by this. While it is a disgusting act in itself, there’s no violence or aggravating variables here and in normal circumstances, most people would get this same deal for the same crime. The system still has her on a tether at this point. She can easily violate the terms if she chose to, but the rest of her life will be quite challenging with issued warrants if she decides to defy the court system. Of course, we are talking about a low-iq left-winger who lacks certain impulse control, so who knows what sort of stupid it will do. Regardless, it will be to her own detriment if she pulls a stupid.
Judges appointing Judges is a shiitey system.
Like Professors appointing other Professors.
It’s incestuous, insular, and destructive to trust and honesty.
I mean, it's not just "scott-free, slap on the hand and be good" thing, is it?
Good for you. I want her drawn and quartered.
Judging by what little I know about this case, I think the judge made a mistake. We’ll see how this turns out....if we ever hear of the outcome.
America was a better place when sodomy was illegal.
Assuming she shows up...................
It’s a Big Club and we ain’t in it!............
WOW. This loon drove or took transportation from Ohio to deface the memorial.
Or someone drove her................
41-year-old..........somebody’s lyin’.................
Well of course that judge released her. After all, she didn’t do anything like murdering little kids, oh wait, people get released for robbery and murder in this country now too.
