QAnon Follower Who Led Police on High-Speed Chase Has Business Auctioned Off as She Languishes in Jail

     Just in time for my birthday tomorrow, we've gotten some good news in the fight to punish QAnon crazies across the country. Firstly, Lauren Boebert is in more financial trouble after it was revealed that her landlord decided not to renew the lease for her restaurant, Shooters Grill. I'm not giving the landlord any props on this one: a restaurant called "Shooters" where waitresses serve food with weapons on their hips is only owned by one type of person; it was simply the national spotlight of having a gun-toting, racist moron in their building the landlord didn't like.

     Here in Wisconsin, a much less infamous but equally crazy "entrepreneur" is facing much more serious consequences than Boebert. I've already highlighted how this QAnon follower has been in jail for many months after a high-speed chase with law enforcement in which they were forced to deploy spike strips, how she sued the police who arrested her and the judge who used to preside over her case, and much more of her insanity.

     Now, she is paying a much steeper price, one outside of the legal system and one that is personally much more satisfying to me. Ann Retzlaff became a hero to conservative anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers the very first time she made the news back in 2020, which was for flouting COVID protocols. That was at the business she owns, Annie's Campground in Gresham, Wisconsin. Or, more appropriately, the business she owned. Retzlaff was the sole proprietor of the business, and, as she sat in jail, things began to deteriorate rapidly. Her liquor license is set to expire soon, which will bar her from running the bar in the building. She couldn't keep the grounds, which resulted in them being overgrown with weeds and brush. With the camp shuttered, she could not bring in revenue, especially during these peak spring and summer months, and could not make her mortgage, tax, and loan payments.

     With expenses not being paid and the situation only growing worse, Bank First initiated a civil action against Ann Retzlaff and Annie's Campground for $1.5 million worth of assets. At a July 11th hearing, the judge presiding over the case allowed the sale of the property. Sealed bids will be submitted by August 19th, while a judge must confirm the terms of the sale on August 23rd, 2022. If all goes smoothly, she could lose the business that made her popular in local conservative circles in just a month. If and when this is finalized, the focus will be trial, which should take place this autumn. Her conviction on a felony charge would be just the nail in the coffin: it would prevent her from owning a weapon ever again or from voting in many future elections and constitute one minor step in the fight to control QAnon crazies, to make America truly great again.
