Nazareth, PA: A 16 year old girl was arrested and charged with
treason and sedition after police say she uttered unpatriotic slogans and
threats against the government.
The young woman (name withheld) was booked into the county jail and is being held without bond.
Witnesses say that she was singing or chanting political protest slogans. “I heard her say something about pulling down the thrones of power,” said Terry Ousterman, a Nazareth resident. “She was going on and on about how the rich are going to get what’s coming to them, and how the poor are going to take it all. It’s this kind of class-warfare that’s ruined our country,” said Ousterman.
When asked if the Treason and Sedition charges (which, if convicted, can carry the death penalty) are too extreme considering her age, Federal Prosecutors said, “It’s hard, we know. But these poisonous sentiments cannot be allowed to destroy our nation.”
The young woman herself has declined to comment on the charges, but has asked for special medical consideration during her incarceration as she is pregnant.
Her next court hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 6.
(Luke 1: 46 – 56)
