WLT Report ^ | 18/8/27 | Kaley

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.

Even more infuriatingly, Melissa Farris was cut loose without having to post bond.

The judge did, however, impose certain conditions for her release.

How can you respect the law when they don’t even respect themselves.

Notable:

The cursed judge’s name is not published ANYWHERE.

I went looking to see if he was an obama judge, but apparently he did not go through the normal appointment process, but was instead selected by other judges in the DC circuit.

he was officially sworn in by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg

that explains a lot.

Thanks for the article link Devane.

According to the article:
o Kentucky nut released on her own recognizance; no bail
o Surrender passport
o Do not visit the WWII Memorial until the judge says she can

****

Eleutheria5: Please, if you post a 47-minute video, point us to the relavent part of the story.

****

As for myself? I think she should be forced to meet with Honor Flight participants (https://www.honorflight.org/ ).

Then be put in stocks where everyone can roll by in their chairs and walkers and beat her with their canes. That’ll teach her just how tough these old birds are.

Then garnish her property and wages and make her donate to every U.S. Veterans organization. In her name. DAV, VFW, American Legion, Wounded Warrior, T2T, etc.

Finally, a year or two in the Federal Slammer. That should be a sufficient attitude adjustment for Melissa L. Farris, 41, of Kentucky.

The unnamed judge needs a taste of the same punishment. And removal from the bench.
