Woman Gets Late-Night Police Visit For Anti-Mask Facebook Posts ... [FL]'I know what Communism is and we have been living in it for the past year'

Florida hair and makeup artist and mother of three Angelique Contreras received an intimidating late-night knock on the door from a law enforcement officer in Palm Beach County after she published anti-mask posts on Facebook. NATIONAL FILE has obtained video footage of this disturbing 10:30 PM encounter. Contreras verbally confirmed with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office that it was a sheriff’s officer who made the house call.

According to Contreras, Palm Beach County is trying to send citizens who can’t wear masks due to medical exemptions into a parking garage basement while County Commission meetings take place. Local press reporting confirms that mask-exempt citizens who want to speak at meetings will be sent to a separate building beneath a parking garage, instead of being able to address their leaders directly.

When a man on Facebook joked about dumping garbage onto a County Administrator’s lawn, Contreras replied with the retort, “thousands of Mask(s).” This was enough to get the sheriff’s office to show up to her house, with the officer making clear that such Facebook posts are monitored in this day and age. Contreras’ children are aged 11, 3, and 1.

“No matter what a person’s political beliefs are, I do not believe anyone deserves to be bullied by our local government officials. We should not be intimidated by law enforcement. What happened at my house was clearly political intimidation,” Angelique Contreras, who hails from a family of patriotic Cuban refugees, told NATIONAL FILE. “I know what Communism is and we have been living in it for the past year.”

Contreras replied to a friend’s joke, stating that they could leave “thousands of Mask” on a county commissioner’s lawn. Contreras said the post could be interpreted to mean leaving masks on public property where county government meetings take place.

“As a United States citizen I do have the right to peacefully protest on any public property and I don’t understand why I was chosen to be intimidated and harassed for my posts,” Contreras said. “In regards to my situation, I want to know who’s watching my Facebook page, who is the unknown citizen who was on my property and the officer’s dereliction of duty, and who gave the order.”

“As a United States citizen I do have the right to peacefully protest on any public property...”

Everyone knows “peaceful protest” is a dogwhistle for fomenting an insurrection.

This reminds me of when the women’s liberation movement burned bras.

Burning masks would probably make you a right wing terrorist insurrectionist these days.

They only bully you when you let them.

If he had shown up at my door, I’d have asked if he saw any speech not protected by the constitution.

Maybe in the old Soviet Union.

You can only be bullied if you let them. They certainly can’t tell you what to wear in your own home. You can run around naked if you want.

This pathetic state we find ourselves now in would not be possible without the cooperation of LEOs that do not care about upholding the Constitution. This lady should try to find some justice for this violation of her rights. But, considering how feeble the courts are now, I wish her luck.

It’s happening here in California also. A man arrested for being a domestic extremist.

PSUSD Patrol Officer arrested in domestic extremism probe

https://kesq.com/news/crime/2021/02/08/psusd-patrol-officer-arrested-in-domestic-extremism-probe/

“John Candias, a detective with the Rialto Police Department and member
of the FBI-JTTF-Riverside, wrote in a declaration in support of the arrest
warrant that Luna admitted to being an “adherent to the Qanon conspirator movement and the three-percenter (3%) militia group’’ while being interviewed during the search.”

Why would she answer the door late at night? No warrant - then you aren’t talking to me.

The sheriff is a Democrat.....and the “sheriff’s officer” was Just following orders.

Gotsta protect that paycheck and preserve that pension.

Of course by saying this, I fully expect the usual suspects here at FR to once again call me a BLM supporting cop hater.

We have suggested that irony here.

You’re right, they’d sanctimoniously decry loudly how horrible we are!

I prefer masks with a liberal-infuriating message.

It’s perfect. Please them and tick them off at the same time.
