Hey, look, another post about the Loudoun County, Virginia school district. Back in 2021, when “domestic terrorist” parents were descending on school board meetings to vent about critical race theory and a policy allowing transgender students to use restrooms that reflected their gender identity, the Loudoun County School Board shut off public comment and the sheriff declared the school board meeting an unlawful assembly; apparently, you can riot all summer long and call it a protest, but you can’t challenge the school board.
A couple of people who refused to leave were arrested, including Jon Tigges:

Tigges jumped on Twitter Wednesday to share two words: “Not guilty.”
“Not guilty”

Judge Fleming’s Ruling:
1.Commonwealth couldn’t prove Ziegler had the authority to clear the room during an open meeting.
2. I acted in good faith in my belief that we had a 1A right to be there.— Jon Tigges (@jontigges) January 4, 2023
My thanks to God for justice.
Sincere appreciation goes out for 18 months of work by my legal team led by Chris Kachouroff of McSweeney Cynkar & Kachouroff along with Josh Hetzler and Michael Sylvester of the Founding Freedoms Law Center with assistance from Ralph Polechek.

Special thanks to @eugenedelgaudio for always having my back and providing the support to fight the Loudoun Cabal.

Most of all, my thanks goes out to my wife, Chris, and all those who never wavered in their belief that our right to assemble and redress our grievances would ultimately win out over tyranny.

Despite this victory, I have serious concerns about where we are as a country. We’ve been subverted by a darkness that is spilling out in rot at all levels and in both political parties.

Nothing will change until We the People value conviction over comfort. Despite the many bad actors here in Loudoun, I’m most concerned about those who call themselves Christians. Many haven’t lifted a finger or opened their mouths in protest to the depravity all around them.

The judge ruled today, January 4, 2023, on an arrest that occurred in August 2021 — that’s a lot of legal red tape and expense.
