On January 6th, 2021, Kirstyn Niemela went to the United States Capitol in Washington, DC to hang out with friends, hear President Donald Trump speak, and to go on a guided tour inside the Capitol Building. To her surprise, one year later, after a former friend and a relative reported her to investigators, without warning, Kirstyn was tackled to the ground and arrested in front of her place of work. Despite being a lesbian activist, she has been labeled a "Proud Boy," and false charges levied against her including; "entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds," "disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds," "disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building" and "parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building." These misdemeanor charges (a parking ticket is a misdemeanor), have been elevated to felony status. The video footage of Niemela exposes the lie being told by the prosecution to discredit her for simply being a conservative, who refuses to admit to a crime SHE DID NOT COMMIT in order to obtain a lessor sentence. This is a fascinating episode on Awakened Nation as a proud patriot exposes the deep state's mission and the abuse of power. Insurrectionist, or Patriot? After watching the video footage, you decide.
