She was literally standing there, not engaging, only filming when Paul grabs her, shoves her against the wall, and promptly gets distracted and moves on to other violence against Teresa.

At no point did Paul identify himself.

He got distracted by Teresa and lost interest in detaining Sarah. He never came back.

The level of unprofessionalism during this incident is embarrassing.

We’re going to watch the video now.

Sarah could tell Teresa was terrified and decided to stay to be a safe person. She did not physically interfere, she merely expressed her concern with the absurd use of force.

Paul pushed her against a wall. He grabbed both of her breasts. He told her to leave. He threatened to zip tie her.

Sarah Forsgren is the next witness. She is a mental health counselor.

She learned about the town hall on FB. We’re looking at the digital invitation again. Sarah went to listen to her legislators.

She sat towards the back.

Sarah saw people wearing their guns. That’s illegal in schools.

Defense is asking a series of confusing questions. Laura is answering them like a pro. She’s not easily confused.

She says she felt comfortable expressing her view points based on the behavior of the audience.

Defense says this clip impeaches the witness.

Judge asks if it’s the whole clip.

It is not the full clip.

Jury won’t be seeing the cut clip.

I’ll track it down later.

Cut clips feels like a Lokken job. I wonder who cut the clip for counsel?

Laura was asked to leave too. She did not leave. She was not touched once by anyone in an effort to remove her.

There are many people demanding that security stop what they’re doing.

At no time do these violent, incompetent security personnel identify themselves. I wouldn’t have gone with them either. For my safety.

“Just cooperate” Security

“That’s what they say to rape victims” Teresa

You can hear every word in this exchange.

We’re going to watch Laura’s video. It’s a graphic one.

The defense objected to it and I already know why. You can really hear Teresa in this one.

You can hear everything Sheriff Norris is saying.

His objection is denied.

Huh I didn't know there was a language exception to the concept of non-aggression.
Why does it matter that the regions Russia is occupying are Russian speaking, Owen? What are you trying to imply by saying that?

Do you know who else eastern Ukraine voted for? Zelensky.

They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

this is going to sound like a pastiche of a woke anecdote but I've got tattooed at so many all-female and/or all-queer parlours in a row that I went to this (relatively) laddish one today and genuinely thought "oh wow, straight men can be tattoo artists too? that's nice!"
