Police: "No vandalism, & no threats were made." --at josh Hawley house protest


Josh Hawley’s millionaire attorney wife—got a magistrate to charge the organizer of a peaceful protest in front of their home last month—with a misdemeanor. Protesting is protected by the Constitution—but Hawley’s elitist neighborhood doesn’t allow it.

Was that the peaceful event that Hawley claimed was an attack on his family?







Yes. The police officer said it was “no big deal.” Police report says that the protestors were peaceful, & left immediately when they were told the neighborhood prohibits protesting. “No vandalism, & no threats were made.”

"[T]he doorbell rang, and from downstairs, I could hear loud noises at the door: knocking, stomping, shouting, or some combination," the senator's wife wrote in her statement. "I went upstairs to see what was happening. ... The protestors were screaming with bullhorns and shouting 'Come out, come out!' I was frightened."

After about 12 minutes, an officer from the Vienna Police Department arrived on the scene and told the group that, under state law, it was "actually illegal" to picket in front of a home, according to the video. City ordinances also prohibit such use of bullhorns, a spokesman for the police department told ABC News.


The continued protesting for another 10 minutes, after they said a prayer and more officers arrived.

Hawley's office provided ABC News with Erin Hawley's statement, which it said was filed with the complaint.

In her statement, she said, in the wake of the protest, she's now "fearful" for her family and that they have hired private security, especially after protesters "threatened to return in the early mornings or during the night."..........................
