On Saturday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

A retired Texas<\/a> couple says FBI agents on June 22 broke through the gate of their rural home, threw flash-bangs, handcuffed them, and trained lasers on them before searching their home for evidence connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lora DeWolfe and Darrel Kennemer, who live on seven acres near San Marcos, Texas, told The Epoch Times they attended the Jan. 6 rally at the Capitol but did nothing wrong. They believe the FBI mistakenly identified Kennemer as someone else.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI didn\u2019t arrest them, they said. Agents eventually produced a search warrant saying Kennemer was suspected of \u201cassaulting, resisting or impeding\u201d officers and \u201centering restricted building or grounds.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both said they went no farther than the Capitol steps on Jan. 6 and didn\u2019t harm anyone or damage anything. They said the allegation of assault was false, and the FBI kept showing Kennemer a blurry photo of a man who looked similar but wasn\u2019t Kennemer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is the FBI raiding the homes of innocent people rather than simply knocking on the door and asking questions? This behavior is more reminiscent of a police state than a democratic republic.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The ordeal began when their gate alarm woke them up in the pre-dawn hours of June 22, DeWolfe said. At first, they thought a deer had tripped the alarm, but DeWolfe got up and saw a white car. Kennemer got his AR-15 rifle and went outside, not knowing what to expect, DeWolfe said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m seeing one single white vehicle moving pretty fast, and I was thinking someone\u2019s going to die,\u201d Kennemer said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FBI officers got out of the white vehicle and told Kennemer, who had his rifle up in the air, to drop his weapon. He kept his rifle and asked the FBI to show him a warrant. Kennemer said someone threw a flash-bang at him repeatedly because he wouldn\u2019t drop his weapon at first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeWolfe said Kennemer put the gun down when she came out of the house. She noticed red laser sights trained on both of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a drone flying around and an aircraft,\u201d she said. \u201cThey never showed a warrant until the end.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeWolfe then tried calling a neighbor before the FBI told them to drop their phones, which ended up recording the first few minutes of the raid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agents entered the house and threw a flash-bang that frightened their dogs, causing one to run away, DeWolfe said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the FBI is accountable to the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, so there will be no consequences for this unacceptable behavior. It is possible that Congress may investigate, but since the Democrats hold Congress, that too is highly unlikely.<\/p>\n
