I don’t know why you would think that would help the problem. That kind of sass is just going to galvanize their supporters. What the church members did – calmly ask the disruptor to leave – is probably the best thing they could do in this circumstance.
Technically depending on where you are staying on property after you have been asked to leave counts as different types of crime. In America it’s a tresspass misdemeanor with fines usually a couple of hundred dollars so it’s not uncommon for folks to just pay the fee to be a nuisance. In Canada it’s called “Assault by Tresspass” and is considered for criminal purposes a form of assault and the fines are about 10 grand.
Generally speaking if you want cops to enforce a law with enthusiasm you have to make it worth the systems while.

Perhaps it doesn’t help now that these people have become so emboldened as to become a mainstream party, should have been done some time ago.
Yeah, agreed. But we live in the present. Sadly this is a post Punch-a-Nazi world.
Idk could have pressed charges for trespassing… Could also now sue her for slander…
She obviously was not trespassing. Slander would definitely be an escalation.
Idk she went into a private place and didn’t leave. I’ve seen people get arrested for less.
She left when asked. The church was presumably open to people to come join in.
