What led to Don Lemon's arrest by federal agents?
Ladies and gentlemen, Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents. Now, the reporting today is that actually it was last night while he was covering an awards ceremony, the feds showed up, took him into custody, and good. He's being charged, according to numerous reports, under the FACE Act, which is the Freedom of Access to Clinical Entrances Act of 1994, which is oh so poetic. Let me explain. So first, let's start from the beginning. Don Lemon was with a group of, I don't want to say protesters, because what they're doing goes beyond protest. They're violating the rights of regular old citizens practicing their religion. It's one thing to stand outside and wave signs, another thing to march through a street, obstruct a roadway temporarily.
Those, one could argue, are First Amendment protected activities. It's another thing to go into a private place of worship during First Amendment protected activities, shut them down, screaming in children's faces. Now, this is where things get, well, let's just call it, it's a violation of civil rights. It is a crime, and it borders on the felony with the Klan Act. Now, Don Lemon They were trying not to charge him. Despite the fact he knew in advance these crimes were about to be committed, he is clearly ideologically aligned with these individuals, and he went into the church with them. Listen, I want to make sure this is abundantly clear, okay?
What is the FACE Act and how does it relate to Don Lemon's charges?
Public accommodation... One could argue a church is meaning it is open to the public. They have to trespass you first before you can come inside before, before they can arrest you for it. Right? So you go to a church, you open the door, you walk in, they say, Hey, we're trespassing you. You need to leave. Okay. That's how it works. Now, if it was a locked door in a private house and you went inside, now you've broken a barrier. You've entered a private home and this is much, much different. Now you're going to get in trouble for burglary or something like that. But here's the thing, my friends. Don Lemon knew he was engaging in an activity that is not accommodated by this church. That is, to go in with a group of extremists who are planning to disrupt the services in violation of their rights, and you're doing it to film it all as it happens, and
You are not there as a worshiper for religious services, and this means you are immediately in the trespass zone. You can't go into a private property engaging in criminal activity, or in this instance, it becomes criminal because of the group that he's with and because, let's just put it like this. It is a challenge always to figure out where the line is. But I think it's fair to say it like this. And again, it's going to fall down on if you're liberal or conservative always. But the argument that I gave was, if you have advanced knowledge that a group of protesters are going to block a roadway, and you say, okay, I'll be there and I'll film it. No one's going to arrest you, okay? You show up, a bunch of hippies are like holding hands and singing songs.
The cars are stopped. The cops come. They cuff them, move them off the road, restore traffic. You're filming.
What actions did Don Lemon take during the protest at the church?
They say, it's a minor petty thing. Yes, it's illegal. We're going to give these guys a slap on the wrist. Usually, these protesters will get like a court supervision. Nobody cares you filmed it. Now, hold on there a gosh darn minute. What if a group of people say, we're going to protest the oil companies by robbing their bank? And putting up a message. If you fund terror. And you go, oh boy, I'm going to film that. And they break into a bank with masks and guns. And they rob the bank.
How do First Amendment rights apply to protests and religious practices?
And you're with them filming the whole thing. Guess what? You're going to get arrested. You will be an accomplice. There's no question. Seriously? Okay, now let's apply to this circumstance. This is the line. On the left, they're going to argue it's nobody got murdered. They disrupted the service one time. It was a protest over the church and Don Lemon was just filming. Well, I'm going to go ahead and tell you this.
