Verdict: Colorado Springs-area resident found guilty on four misdemeanors in Capitol breach trial in D.C.
“The whole reason I went to the Capitol was to pray,” she said. “I didn’t get into this for myself, I was there to stand up for my country.”
When she went inside the Capitol for 10 minutes with a group of other rally-goers, Lavrenz said, “I felt god’s presence on me.”
I am sure she will still feel the divine presence from the pokey.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

“The whole reason I went to the Capitol was to pray,”
She had to drive from Colorado to DC and invade
a restricted area to pray? I thought prayer was effective doing it inside ones home privately.
My thoughts exactly. There’s even a Red letter Jesus quote for where you pray!

God is telling me to show up at her B&B without a reservation, knock down her fence, and let myself in through one of her windows. I should meander through her house for twenty minutes or so to pick a suitable place to say a prayer. Afterwards, leave like nothing happened, and spend the next couple years arguing I had no bad intent.

I'm feeling good about this.
Also, many of the commenters on the "articles" about poor grandma kept whining about tax dollars, it's "their house," they can go in any time, yadda, yadda. Same old same old that no one believes.

Just don't do anything against the wall.
Hmmm. God said bring some pals. A couple hundred of them. Logistical issues like that tend to work themselves out. I'm still feelin confident.

The same logic ought to apply to the weapons storage areas at the two nuclear submarine bases at Silverdale, Washington and King's Bay, Georgia. Breaching the perimeter fences for those bases will get you arrested. Attempting to breach the weapons storage area fence will absolutely, positively get you shot.
But the poots don't ever claim that they should be able to come and go from there at will. It's almost like they know that the government has the right to deny them access to certain of "their houses."

“It’s The People’s House” is such pretentious crap.
A lot of people posting on X are also comparing her crimes to those who entered the country illegally, as if that’s a serious crime.

That's the tell this is just a publicity stunt, as this won't qualify as a class action.
It would be irresponsible not to speculate LOUDLY and on MANY PUBLIC FORA that this is perhaps an entrapment stunt designed to get people to self-designate as plaintiffs in the suit and thereby admit that they were there as part of the insurrection.
I mean, many people COULD be saying this, right?

A Newsweek article said:
Newsweek could not verify whether a lawsuit was filed and has contacted Lang for comment by direct messaging on X early on Saturday as well as Capitol Police by email.
Which made me wonder, is it being filed in a Florida state court? However, the article followed with:
On X, Lang wrote that the lawsuit was "picked up by Conservative powerhouse" attorneys Stefanie Lambert and Russell Newman. Newsweek has emailed Lambert's office.

I think this is probably the case. It was filed in January and has already been amended twice, but no summons was issued until this week, so nobody has been served. All the plaintiffs are listed as Pro Se
He did manage to get some sort of signatures for the plaintiffs (not sure if it was properly done for court, but unlike some folks, there was an attempt), and he knows he needs an attorney to file a "class action" motion.
ETA shows their sloppiness again. It was a simple lookup on Pacer, well, if you realize his full name is Edward Jacob Lang.
JUST IN: The federal appeals court in D.C. rejected a Jan. 6 defendant's challenge to his "demonstrating in a Capitol building" conviction, ruling that the building — as opposed to the exterior grounds — is NOT, by law, a public forum.
The defendant, John Nassif, argued that the statute in question punishes protected First Amendment activity in a public forum. But the court found that Congress has always had the right to restrict activities inside the building itself because of the need to actually do work.

Here is Lang in action on 1/6.

There's lot of discussion of violent Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang on this website.
So here's some video, previously introduced as evidence in another Jan. 6 case, that shows him at the front of the battle.
He's got the gas mask, the black jacket, and the stolen police shield.
