An officer in the neo-Confederate group League of the South has been convicted of illegally carrying a gun during a demonstration over the removal of a Confederate monument in North Carolina.

After being found guilty Friday, Jessica Lynne Reavis, a 40-year-old from Danville, Virginia, complained about losing her Glock .40 caliber handgun, dozens of rounds of ammunition and her pepper-spray gun.

Reavis, who works as a long-haul truck driver, said the misdemeanor conviction in district court in Chatham County, North Carolina, could mean the security clearance she needs for work will be revoked.

“If I am found guilty and lose my security clearance … everything I worked for for my entire life will be lost,” Reavis told the court.

I don’t believe that they believe it applies to them as any law that would do so is of course unfair and a gross overreach by that meanie, meanie government......

6. Maybe Trump will pardon her, so she can keep the clearance and the gun.

If not, I think she still gets to keep the Stars and Bars. Consolation prize.

8. She posts on Russian Facebook:

“We must stand together and fight this enemy,” Reavis posted on VK, the Russian version of Facebook, on Nov. 26, 2019. “We cannot let them continue to cut our very roots within our soil.”
