And if not today, then tomorrow.
You take it from there, Mike Davis, because I have a feeling you're more in the loop than I am.
Yes.
So we looked into it and it does appear to me, Dave, that the likely charges coming are going to be exactly what Dave, what Mike just said.
It's not just going to be the FACE Act.
It's not just going to be the Klan Act.
It's going to be both.
And if you charge both, then you have the effect of basically raising the FACE Act from a misdemeanor to a felony.
If you use the Klan Act, you can charge a felony.
And there was just case law out of the 11th Circuit, which oversees where you are, down in Florida.
This, of course, happened in Minneapolis.
But it's persuasive, and it's not binding out of the 11th Circuit over Minnesota, but it's persuasive, saying that...
The violation of rights under the Klan Act can be like you can charge somebody with violation of rights under the Klan Act if they have violated the FACE Act.
So if they have obstructed physically or intimidated anyone attending a religious service, that can be the predicate violation for a violation of the Klan Act, which raises what would otherwise be a misdemeanor to a felony.
Potentially up to 10 years in jail.
I mean, no one is really expecting that to be the penalty, but it does make this a lot more serious than a misdemeanor, which could be more of a slap on the wrist.
Your thoughts on it.
It was all heartfelt.
You have trespass.
Dead to rights.
