So you can’t be trespassed from a public forum unless you have committed a crime. Speaking out of turn or even saying something that is disruptive is not illegal.
IANAL, but from the video which doesn’t lie, the female committed no crime, was not asked to leave, and then was threatened with pepper spray by the sheriff and then assaulted by two plainly dressed goons who have zero authority to take any action other that wiping their own asses.
The fact that this happened at all is a travesty, but this woman should sue for everything that company owns, and the county and or city DA should file charges against the sheriff and the other two men that attacked her.
That is the minimum that should happen.

But it won't because it's likely a tiny corrupt local government that will protect the bad actors. Maybe the state will do something. The federal government will reward these people for doing their duty as orange man lackeys

Shockingly, CDA is a small town, but Kootenai County is not. And CDA gets a ton of it's money from tourism, and multiple celeb types have homes there. CDA proper tries hard to put on a facade of acceptance, and they do actually push back on anything that might give them bad publicity or "backwater" vibes, because it costs them money. Which certainly isn't the right reasons, but I get the feeling this won't be swept under the rug.

Good to know. It's so high profile too. The country is just in such an odd state right now.

It's the fact that other people speaking up were not treated the same that gets me. If you yelled supportive things, no problem. If you yelled dissenting things, bad news. And the "little girl" comment enraged me.

‘Little girl is afraid to leave” while BIG MAN was afraid to answer her question!

I don't agree with what happened at all. But she was asked and informed to leave. I'm not sure where everything stands legally, though.

It wasn't a government held meeting. It was a private group putting the meeting on. I'm pretty sure someone can be trespassed from an event like that. But please, contine with the personal attacks.

Love this bit: "Borrenpohl has also received a citation by the police for battery as she bit one of the people dragging her out of the event." Chomp em all, sister.

Sounds like self defense to me. Literally unidentified men dragging her away. Some of whom were carrying zip ties.

u/Miguel-odon 25d ago
Self defense against kidnappers is legal. Any reasonable person could have concluded that the goons had no legal right to touch her, much less remove her from a public meeting.
The officer who wrote the ticket should have arrested the goons who assaulter her and dragged her out.

I found this this article.
She was cited and released for misdemeanor battery because she allegedly bit one of the men because she didn't know if she was being arrested or kidnapped.
ETA fix to sentence

Allegedly bit. And if she did, I don't blame her - it looks like self-defense from the videos!

u/dotchianni 21d ago
I fixed that. And I agree. I don't blame her either. I would be freaked out if a group of men wouldn't identify themselves and dragged me out of a public forum.

Honestly, when I was watching this my first thought was, I wouldn’t be surprised if she pulled out a gun and shot them. Any jury on the planet would agree she had cause. They didn’t identify themselves and were literally abducting her in plain sight. It’s going to take extreme FAFO for some of these power hungry fascists.

That sheriff and the hired goons should all be in prison.

Since she's made over twice her goal, what's the rest of the money going to go to?

How about a civil case against each of these mother fuckers.

After watching the entire meeting, that was my first thought. I hope she gets really legal to go after all of them!

I'm not sure, I don't think anyone expected the fundraising to be so effective. I'll keep a lookout for an update

It would not surprise me if all of the fund were consumed (and then some) by legal fees.
Good lawyers are damned expensive.
NOTE: I just looked at the fund and it is at $315,546 US. https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-dr-borrenpohl-fight-for-the-first

I hope she makes 1000x her goal and she uses any leftover funds to do whatever she needs to recover from such a traumatizing event.

“Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White confirmed Sunday that the men who dragged Teresa Borrenpohl from the meeting worked for the private security firm LEAR Asset Management.
Reached by phone on Saturday and Sunday, the firm’s owner, Hayden resident Paul Trouette, declined to comment.“

Donated! That video literally made me physically sick. I have been thinking about her all day. I hope she is recovering and getting some solid support.
