Thread 🧵
In June of 2022, I reported on the insane arrest of a man named Tyler Dinsmoor. Tyler was arrested for posting memes and espousing his religious beliefs online. He was charged with a "hate crime," due to being targeted by the #LGBT community.
"In the early hours of the morning on June 17, 2022, Mrs. Tyler Dinsmoor awoke to find some strange messages on her phone and a couple of missed calls. The messages purported to be someone with the police department wanting to speak with her or her husband."
"She was confused and unsure if this was some sort of prank. She explained that in the days prior her husband had been targeted by Antifa online and had been forced to take his website down to protect his customers."
"Mr. Dinsmoor owns and operates the Dinsmoor Sheepskin business which is a family-run company that sells sheep products. Very quickly, Mrs. Dinsmoor would realize that the messages and calls were not some pranks by Antifa agitators."
"Officers from seven law enforcement agencies, responders from two federal agencies, multiple armored vehicles, a negotiating team, and a police helicopter took part in the arrest Friday morning of a North Whidbey man who had been posting online comments..." - WNT
I wrote about the ordeal in an article I published on my Substack:

The government sent officers from seven law enforcement agencies, responders from two federal agencies, multiple armored vehicles, a negotiating team, and a police helicopter, to arrest Tyler in front of his pregnant wife and two small children.
Video of the raid 👇
I interviewed Tyler's wife Madison after the raid. This is a pregnant mother, who had her two children with her.
Madison describes what the raid was like and how it affected her and her children.
This is how the feds terrorize Christian families.
Rolling up with tanks for a tactical raid.
The feds had her running down the road with her small children because they thought her husband might hurt her, their unborn child, or their children.
They had literally NO reason to think this, the FBI just views ALL Christians as "domestic terrorists," pretty much.
Madison describes how this tactical raid happened in the early morning hours, as their son was asleep.
He was sleeping in bed as law enforcement prepared riot gear to go into the home.
Law enforcement in full tactical gear went in to grab her son.
He was scared.
They seized their firearms and electronics and were looking to see if this Christian family had any "terrorism ties."
Tyler Dinsmoor is a disabled veteran. He owns a small sheep farm where he lives with his wife and children.
Law enforcement was wondering why they wasted the resources they did.
Child protective services showed up to talk to her. They asked about their doctors, dentists, and schooling.
She was unable to make calls and had to leave her home to find a safe place to stay because there were death threats being posted by crazy LGBTQ activists who wanted to kill her unborn child.
Madison describes how seeing her shaking, scared, and throwing up scared her children. They missed their father who was imprisoned.
He has since been released home on bond.
Tyler did not commit a crime. He posted memes online and was outspoken about his religious beliefs. The LGBT community decided to target him, and a neighbor reported him for "threatening her," while he was inside his own home.
"Oak Harbor Police Chief Kevin Dresker was quoted as saying that the massive show of force was 'due to the nature of Dinsmoor’s online comments, which included violent vitriol aimed at the LGBTQ community and ominous posts about the gay pride parade.'"
Oak Harbor Detective Sgt. Jennifer Gravel, in her report quoted in the Whidbey News-Times article, slandered Tyler as a “racist,” “sexist,” and “anti-Semite.” in their joke of a police report made purely on the claims of a neighbor who doesn't like Mr. Dinsmoor.
"Gravel, echoing Chief Dresker, wrote that Dinsmoor is “an extreme risk to the public.” Again, she noted that he owns firearms. She recommended that Tyler be ordered to submit to a psychological evaluation."
He indeed did have to undergo the evaluation, which he passed.
Mrs. Dinsmoor has provided an update, as the trial is coming up. You can see her post here.

"The police response to this hearsay was a mechanized death squad and a one-million-dollar bail. They ripped our son out of bed while he was sleeping. My husband was taken from our family at the end of a government rifle and shoved in a concrete box...
...I was newly pregnant and fearful I would miscarry our baby. We cried singing our favorite family hymn "Surely Goodness and Mercy" over the jail phone."
"He has been out on bond for almost a year, and struggling financially since the news treated him worse than a murderer, causing our main sheepskin suppliers to abandon us. The trial is coming up, and we are short. If convicted, we stand to lose nearly everything."
"We ask, if able, you to help us pay for his legal defense against the tyrannical abuse from antichrist Washington state to a Christian family man.
Thank you and God bless."
