On Monday, in yet another affront to America’s justice system, the Department of Justice sentenced a 72-year-old woman to a half year house arrest, with restrictions on her internet use, 12 month probation, and a $103,000 fine. Rebecca Lavrenz, who is known as the “J6 praying grandma,” never committed a violent crime, let alone a felony. Before January 6th, 2021, she had a squeaky-clean record without so much as a speeding ticket. Now, she is, in the blistering words of the government, “a threat to future acts of political violence like that which engulfed the nation on January 6.”
