University of Kentucky student Gracyn Dawn Courtright, wrote “can’t wait to tell my grandkids I was here” on an Instagram photo showing the senior with her arms raised in the air. Now the U.S. government is using her social media postings against her in a court of law with three federal charges in connection to the January 6 riot.
In one photo, the West Virginia native, is seen carrying a “Members Only” sign around the Capitol. That led to a theft of government charge for Gracyn, who has since deleted her social media pages, but not before the government was able to snag a few screenshots to use against her.
The Courier-Journal reports Courtright is charged with “knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in disorderly conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and theft of government property under $1,000, according to court records.”
The government also has what it says are direct messages between Gracyn and a witness where the UK senior says “it’s history idc,” “I thought it was cool,” and “idk what treason is.”
Courtright’s father, an attorney, reportedly told the FBI that his daughter was in D.C. to attend “the party” and that she was in front of the crowd for President Trump’s speech earlier in the day.
This chica needs help
wow no comments?!
well
the texting of children wont sway me about much…mixing it up with cops = bad, violence = bad, yaddah yadda ya….also I credit Tim Dillon with reminding the world that noone really does any thinking anymore…like just ‘think’ for a bit…THINK..with your brain
Well she’s right the cops did allow that group in…
…but given what DC is all about, that was probably ‘trap 101’. Between antifa being there and the fact probably 95% of Congress/deep state hates those people and this was one good way to peg them…I wouldn’t have wanted to be in that crowd.
“treason” and “wrong side of history”…anyone who claims they know how things will be remembered is an absolute douche.. Democrats all of sudden have clear morality when it comes to the capitol raid. However, have amnesia bout 2016-2020 or say it was for “justice’ therefore their violence is OK. I’m not going to trash this girl it too easy especially when Democrats ignored the bufoonery of their side which led to this moment.
This is quite frankly, the most Kentucky thing ever. Assuming the friend response was actually from Kentucky…
In a sane world she’d be hailed a hero. Sick of the double standards the left is allowed to live by.
“Riot”, Joe? Other than a woman shot by the cops, there was no violence to speak of. Nice subtle dig to get the narrative in though. Gotta stay legit for the cocktail parties, right?
Are you kidding? A cop was killed and numerous others were attacked and injured.
The people, antifa and probably some wackos on the right, who started this 40 minutes before the President stopped speaking should be prosecuted. But those who showed up an hour later and simply walked through with no resistance, well, give them a trespassing ticket if you want.
I hope these toothless ragamuffins are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
If we’re going to apply the law equally to all rioters then I’m all for it. If we’re exempting certain groups from the law based on political affiliation then I hope they all get away with it.
