Minnesota mother Shiloh Hendrix is currently on trial for using a slur when confronting a nine-year-old Somali boy who was stealing from her diaper bag at a playground in a video that went massively viral on social media, and Jack Posobiec has not held back in declaring that she is being prosecuted for speech and a “thought crime.”
Posobiec discussed the latest updates on his Human Events show on Thursday, declaring, “It seems very much that Shiloh Hendrix is on trial for speech… and for a thought crime.”
Speaking to The Gateway Pundit, Posobiec said, “This is the United States. We don’t put people on trial for speech. In the UK last year 13,000 people were arrested for speech offenses. Shiloh Hendrix is a mother who is on trial for saying something that the anti-white system says is a criminal offense, so they are stretching the law to prosecute her. We need to hold the line on free speech before we become the next EU.”
“The antiwhite system must be exposed and confronted,” Posobiec added.

Hendrix, 37, is facing two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct.
The charges stem from an April 2025 incident at Roy Sutherland Playground in Soldiers Field Memorial Park.
According to court documents and video of the incident, a then-eight-year-old autistic Somali boy took an applesauce pouch from Hendrix’s diaper bag while she was at the park with her toddler.
Hendrix confronted the child and allegedly used a racial slur.
A Somali man named Sharmake Omar began recording and confronting her, demanding she say the slur.
Hendrix repeated the slur toward the man, gave him the middle finger, and walked away while stating the child had taken her son’s belongings.

The video triggered intense online backlash.
Hendrix was doxxed. Her Social Security number, home address, and phone number were leaked. She reported threats against her family, harassment of relatives, and concerns that her older child might not be able to return to school.
In response, political commentator Tom Hennessey launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser for Hendrix titled “Help Me Protect My Family.”
In the description, Hendrix wrote that a child had stolen from her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag, that she “called the kid out for what he was,” and that the subsequent viral video and doxxing had put her family in danger, forcing her to consider relocating.
The campaign has raised more than $846,000.
Hendrix used the funds to purchase a home with land in a safer area and to cover security and legal costs.
Last August, months after the incident, the Rochester City Attorney’s Office charged Hendrix with three counts of disorderly conduct, which were later reduced to two. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Hendrix pleaded not guilty.
Her attorney, Brian Karalus, has argued that her language, while offensive, is protected under the First Amendment and does not constitute “fighting words” or disorderly conduct. He has framed the prosecution as the product of cancel culture and an attack on free speech.
A motion to dismiss the charges was denied in May.
The jury trial began earlier this week.

Hennessy reported:
After asking the same question four different ways with the help of translators, the father admitted under oath that portions of his testimony from yesterday do not match his interview with investigators last year.
Yesterday, the father claimed Shiloh ran after the boy not only to retrieve what was taken from her, but also because he believed she intended to strike, fight, or “rumble” with his son.
Shiloh’s attorney pointed out that the original statement to investigators made no mention of that.
The father was also asked multiple times whether he or his family had any involvement in a fundraiser. He answered “No” each time.
Defense cross-examination highlighted inconsistencies between Jimale’s initial police statements and later testimony, as well as the fact that the family received more than $300,000 through an NAACP-backed fundraiser.
During the trial, it was also revealed that the child has to wear a police-issued ankle bracelet due to his tendency to run off.

Jimale contacted the NAACP before speaking with police about the incident.
The defense rested its case on Friday.
The jury’s decision is pending.
The Gateway Pundit will provide updates when a verdict is delivered.
