An estimated 100 agents, 20-30 vehicles, and a helicopter deployed flash bang grenades to question and not arrest an elderly couple who were merely in the vicinity of the Capitol on January 6.
An account was published Sunday in the San Marcos Record of a massive late June raid on a couple in rural Hays County, Texas that resulted in no arrest. The scale of forces deployed and the tactics used seem designed to intimidate and punish, especially considering the fact that the couple never entered the US Capitol on June 6, and were guilty only of being Trump supporters who were peacefully demonstrating.
Lora DeWolfe and Darrel Kennemer were startled when FBI agents, during the pre-dawn hours on June 22, broke through their gate leading up to their home which sits on seven acres in rural Hays County. (snip)
Kennemer, concerned, sprung out of bed, grabbed his AR-15 and stepped onto the porch wearing only his briefs.
The couple watched as several other vehicles, estimated between 20-30, poured onto the property, including one armored vehicle with a battering ram.
FBI agents demanded Kennemer “drop his rifle” as they exited the approaching vehicle. Kennemer responded asking if officials had a warrant, and to show him.
Agents instead began tossing a series of flashbang grenades at the 67-year-old after which Kennemer realized a group of targeting lasers on him that forced him to lay down his weapon.
The couple was placed into handcuffs, taken away from their house, and questioned while their home was being searched.

It seems like an orchestrated intimidation operation by the left.
He is very lucky to be alive.
Too their Trump memorabilia? Why?
Sadly.

RE: Ridiculous overkill in raid of retired Texas couple outside Capitol on January 6
FBI, ATF & SWAT: Democrat’s and Deep State’s Stasi, Gestapo & SS.
Of course it was a “ridiculous overkill”. These raids are designed to tell us that, ‘resistance is futile. They have the manpower & the firepower to over come all resistance.
So when the Feds kick down your front door, slap you in handcuffs and drag you down to some detainment center where they question you for several days. What happens to your home in the meantime? Unless you live in a gated area it is very likely that much of what was in your home that the feds didn’t take will not be there when you are released. Do insurance policies cover ‘legal’ home invasions? Can you sue for compensation? How can one be made whole after such a travesty?
Ask Hannity if the FBI sent all 1% of the bad agents for this raid.
The POLICE are TOTALLY CORRUPT NOW! STAZI wing of the DEMOCRATS!
Im sure the same was done for any number of people who were in any number of cities burning shit under the BLM flag.
Need to be asking who’s the damn Sheriff of Hays county that would allow this to happen. Then move on up the chain.
Amerika Storm-Troopers.
For the message it sends.
“Ask Hannity if the FBI sent all 1% of the bad agents for this raid.”
Perfect comment!
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
Was no warrant ever produced?
Take them to court
I am sure they want to do it. What is stopping them? 2nd Amendment?
Have they picked up Ray Epps yet?
