This morning local activists raised the An Appeal To Heaven flag outside of Boise City Hall. A lawfully permitted wartime naval flag, acceptable to be flown under the recently passed HB96 by the Idaho Legislature under an emergency. Happy Easter! #idpol #idleg City of Boise

Last night, Christian Zionists from Candlelight Christian Fellowship conspired with Coeur d’Alene City Councilor Dan Gookin to use the CDA Police to stifle political dissent. Independent voter Stefanie Fetzer allegedly created a fake event at Prairie Pavilion, while others distributed flyers to nearby food trucks warning that a podcast “which risks inciting harm by normalizing anti-Semitism, anti-American sentiment, and attacks on marginalized groups” was planning a “community meetup, bringing their own pizza and beer.” The flyer further claimed that the podcast “functions as a radical call for exclusionary control and a rejection of democratic values.” The purpose of the meetup was simply to gather with others who share similar conservative values, while also providing an opportunity to confront Dan Gookin—a candidate for CDA mayor—and Stefanie Fetzer, a prominent local Christian Zionist activist from Candlelight Christian Fellowship. Gookin and Fetzer were planning an “open forum–style discussion” at the Pavilion at 5:30 P.M. The meetup was first announced by the podcast on Wednesday, October 22. On Saturday, October 25, Scott Haug—a candidate for Post Falls mayor—was booked by Fetzer as a second speaker and told the event would be held at McKenzie River Pizza. On Sunday, October 26, Fetzer released a flyer on Telegram promoting that Haug would join the meetup at Prairie Pavilion and take questions alongside Gookin. Then, at 4 p.m. on Monday, Fetzer announced a venue change that had been planned two days earlier, allegedly due to a “great response” from locals and fears that they “wouldn’t have enough room” at the Prairie Pavilion. Around the same time, someone distributed flyers to food trucks featuring out-of-context quotes, bold headings such as “Catholic = Antisemitic,” and accusations that the podcast spread “dangerous conspiracy theories.” The podcast group arrived at the pavilion for their meetup at 5 P.M. Roughly 25–30 people attended, with about a dozen ordering food from local vendors around the pavilion. At 5:30 P.M., several Coeur d’Alene police officers entered the pavilion, surrounded podcaster David Reilly, and asked whether anyone had distributed flyers “advertising a 5 P.M. gathering” at the food trucks. At the same time, William Le, a former bass player at Candlelight Church, entered the room, filmed all attendees, and then left. Police then informed everyone in the building—including several people unaffiliated with the podcast who were there specifically to meet with Dan Gookin—that they were being trespassed, claiming the group had “promoted pizza and beer.” Attendees protested, noting that no pizza or beer was present and that most people had simply purchased food from the local trucks. Nevertheless, police ordered everyone to leave. Officers then exited the building along with attendees and began photographing people’s cars and license plates. Fifteen minutes after the meeting was dispersed, William Le, who had filmed attendees earlier, was photographed at McKenzie River Pizza sitting with Stefanie Fetzer, Dan Gookin, and several other prominent political Christian Zionists affiliated with Candlelight. All of this was done to shield mayoral candidate Dan Gookin and activist Stefanie Fetzer from public questioning and community scrutiny.

Here are the two 911 audio calls from Taco Works and the co-owner of the Prairie Pavilion, reporting patrons of the establishment. Falsely claiming the group in attendance brought in outside food and alcohol prompting a call to police. Too bad this was a lie and a setup by nefarious players at Candlelight Church who had originally planned a meet and greet with Coeur d'Alene mayoral candidate, Dan Gookin. Stephanie Fetzer purposefully changed the venue last minute, in a ploy to get her political adversaries in trouble. People should fully boycott Prairie Pavilion and all associated businesses. Any businesses who attempt this type of bullshit in North Idaho, deserve to be out-of-business! #tyranny Kootenai County

Ryan McClintock, 33, was arrested in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, for malicious injury to property on April 4, 2026, for allegedly breaking windows at the Kootenai County Sheriff Office and charged with terrorism after making online threats about pastors at local churches (and local law enforcement) claiming pedophilia was occurring and upset at the inaction of Sheriff Bob Norris, the Coeur d'Alene Police and Post Falls Police Departments. Here is a mash-up of videos (in case they get pulled) including a 20 minute interview by Ryan at the end with a former employee of a local church.

This video perfectly displays the hypocrisy of the Coeur d'Alene Police Department's selective enforcement of trespass. Below is body cam video of a CDAPD officer telling KCRCC Chair Brent Regan, they will not trespass individuals at a February 25, 2025, committee meeting regardless of any interruptions. This, just days after the Teresa Borrenpohl incident at Coeur d'Alene High School involving Kootenai County Sheriff Norris.
