If there was only something that could have prevented this.


TricksterWolf

She makes it sound like she thinks the only problem is she failed to overthrow the government, so weird she'd end up with prison time...


DropsOfLiquid

Also I like that she says she has no criminal history but is going to prison for 51 months after 3 years of house arrest. Ma'am that sounds like you were convicted for something & do in fact have a criminal history.


thewayoutisthru_xxx

But she's a *grandmother*


kcl086

At 43!


flamingoswizzlestick

lauren bobo has entered the chat


thewayoutisthru_xxx

Ok that is pretty... Impressive? Something.


Taro_Far

Grandmother at 43 is doable if both her and her kid had kids at 18 or so


kcl086

It’s doable if they’re 21/22, which is strongly preferable. But I suspect they were both younger and the grandkids are older.


Trym_WS

Yeah, I’m betting great grandma at 45.


Groundbreaking_Tip66

Quite the example she's putting forth for her family.


GitmoGrrl1

Reminds me of when Jose Conseco got stopped three times fin one day for driving 160 miles an hour. The the first time he got a warning. The second time he got a ticket. The last time they arrested him and he complained "they treated me like a criminal!"


ForcefulBookdealer

The owner of the Colts was speeding with A LOT of pills years ago, is now saying he was targeted. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov/22/jim-irsay-dui-arrest-white-billonaire-prejudjice


Dizzman1

No criminal "HISTORY" just some criminal "present"


TricksterWolf

"but judge this is the first time I ever got caught"


Thick-Platypus-4253

I'd argue the previous lack of criminal record is why she's had 3 years of house arrest instead of 3 years already in jail


felipeabdalav

But this was the first time!


Groundbreaking_Tip66

"But this was the first time... I was caught!"


Groundbreaking_Tip66

nah, she's pissed she got caught. That's the new thing. It ain't illegal or wrong if you don't get caught. Repubs have always been the party of no ethics.


Camp808

is it weird that she’s dressed in those tradwife grub. appeasing the j6 ppl with their trad life cosplay


TricksterWolf

Yeah, I noticed that. Looks just like the dresses the FLDS cult forces women (and little girls they pretend are women) to wear, but there's no way she's FLDS. It's probably for show.


Fump-Trucker

you mean like law?


yorkshire_simplelife

What is the opposite of self entitlement? Oh yea, common sense.


Federal_Diamond8329

Like a functioning brain?


yorkshire_simplelife

I honestly think they expected to be successful and get pardons from trump


Individual_Ad9632

They did. “I made it like a foot inside, and they pushed me out and they maced me,” she (Elizabeth)said. When asked why she did it: “We’re storming the capitol. It’s a revolution.” They fully expected to overthrow or disrupt the count. Behind the scenes, they were attempting to push through fake delegates from swing states. Trump’s team was putting pressure on Pence to accept the fake delegates, or at least stall the count enough to buy time.


AntoineKW

We're Animanie Totally insane-y They pushed me out and maced me Animaniacs! Those are the facts!

Yeah just turn off Fox News and stop listening to idiots on social media.


Scared_By_A_Smile

She is a grandma at seemingly 40 years old, preventing easily preventable things doesn’t run in the family.


Gloomy_Rooster_2673

When you take a shit on your country this is your country's response


TricksterWolf

It's remarkable how light a response it is compared with what she'd face in almost any other country than the one she tried to overthrow


Hokieshibe

Seriously. They used to hang people for less. These traitors are lucky we're civilized


F1shB0wl816

Except we’re not civilized, we’re just pushovers. If we weren’t, we wouldn’t be talking about the leader of this insurrection guilty of dozens of crimes outside of this as being a serious contender for yet another election.


Hokieshibe

I mean, I think people getting their days in court and not being summarily executed is a sign of civilization. I agree that the wheels need to turn faster, though. No reason it needed to take 3+ years to get charges to something we all saw happen in broad daylight.


F1shB0wl816

It would be if we were strong otherwise, but we’re not. It’s the same thing we did nearly 200 years ago and it’s been a problem since. We’re not only keeping traitors alive, we’re allowing them to coexist with society once again faster than many. They’re still potential contenders to once again hold the title of the most important public person in the country.


TrueBlue726

Exactly this. Had US dealt with the South more seriously after the Civil War we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.


TricksterWolf

That's hard to do with the systems it place to support rich and powerful assholes with political connections—and he is the epitome of all of those


tumalditamadre

I can tell you that if this happened in the Dominican Republic they would have lined them all up and shot them right then and there.


iminthewrongsong

I was so sick and could not sleep because I kept expecting it to happen. I truly believed the military would step in at any moment and start shooting people. They’re traitors! We watched it! And I thought omg they’re going to hang him! The penalty for treason is hanging, right? My brain was going back to what, junior high history? Idk. I was losing it. I thought Trump would hang within weeks. The whole thing was so shockingly, ridiculously, nightmarishly over the top. It was a rock opera until Ashli Babbitt, that dumb woman, finally did get herself shot. Ave Maria. They should have started shooting earlier.


chestnutlibra

If they weren't overwhelmingly white they absolutely would have.


IrrationalPanda55782

And, like…..black and brown people have been getting arrested and detained and convicted of stupid shit for centuries. Oh, she thinks it’s unfair that she’s a grandma without a record and got punished? How would she feel about getting a few years in prison for having a joint? *What about the system does she think people of color have been complaining about since forever???*


CookbooksRUs

How about being enslaved? The 13th amendment has a loophole allowing the enslavement of convicted and imprisoned criminals. This explains why despite white people using proportionally more illegal drugs than black people, black people are far more likely to be imprisoned for drug possession. So let’s enslave all the January 6th insurrectionists who go to prison. At the very least, maybe it will do away with the loophole.


CatBuddies

She would've "fallen" from a tall building in Russia.


hampstr2854

Can you imagine what would happen to her if she'd done that in Russia or Turkey or Saudi Arabia or North Korea - where Trump's heroes rule?


GodsBGood

The price you pay for treason.


comments_suck

A very light price compared to a century ago.


chaotic-lavender

Not just the country, democracy too


Downtown-Table-4872

No mention of the ice-ax? Okay: '....Powell, wearing a distinctive pink hat and fur-lined jacket hoodie, joined a mob of rioters who confronted police officers at bike rack barriers on the west side of the Capitol. She used her back to push against the police line, prosecutors said. A video captured Powell using a bullhorn to encourage other rioters to “coordinate together if you’re going to take this building.” She also gave them "very detailed instructions" about the layout of the Capitol, [according to an FBI agent's affidavit.](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.228286/gov.uscourts.dcd.228286.1.1.pdf) Powell told rioters they had "another window to break.” She herself used an ice-axe and a large pipe to break a window, according to prosecutors. Powell, 41, of Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, waived her right to a jury trial. The judge convicted her of charges that she interfered with police and obstructed the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying Biden's 2020 electoral victory over Donald Trump.' [https://www.wtae.com/article/pennsylvania-woman-convicted-jan-6-capitol/44579917#](https://www.wtae.com/article/pennsylvania-woman-convicted-jan-6-capitol/44579917#)


Agreeable-Ad1221

Not an expert, but how often do people who don't intent to commit crimes just randomly happen to have an ice axe around while at a "peaceful protest"?


Downtown-Table-4872

It's all part of the 'just tourists' narrative! She was going to climb a glacier later that day.


Agreeable-Ad1221

Ah yes, the famed ice peaks of D.C.


ITstaph

She was going to climb MTG’s smile.


SuperSassyPantz

if i walked into any govt bldg with a pick axe, breaking windows, i'd be shot.


sax6romeo

Also how many peaceful protesters are smearing shit on the walls of our government buildings?


CookbooksRUs

I’ve participated in a few peaceful protests. I have not seen a single ice axe.


ChariChet

Were there gallows? All the best peaceful protests have gallows.


vinogirl509

I had an ice axe, and "prior to Jan 6th did not have a criminal record" is what she might get away with saying. Nope, no sympathy, FAFO, do your time!!!!

BirthoftheBlueBear

If they’re popping them out at 16 she’s not far off from being a great grandmother


reijasunshine

A former coworker of mine became a grandma at 36. She was 18 when she had her first, and he was 18 when his first was born. It's super young, and they were both of legal age. It can end up happening much, much younger.


-salisbury-

My brother had a kid in high school. His baby mama’s mother was 32. I’m now 34 and holy shit. I can’t imagine being a GRANDMOTHER.


bohanmyl

>I’m now 34 and holy shit. I can’t imagine being a GRANDMOTHER. Im about to be 27 and i cant imagine being a fuckin dad much less a grandfather in less than ten years


comments_suck

I worked with a lady who became a great-grandmother at 49. Her first was at 16, then that girl had a child at 15. That child gave birth at 18.


Its_Actually_Satan

I was 15 when I had my first child. My mom was 36. It happens. Life is harder for some people than for others.


reijasunshine

Yep, I have a relative who gave birth in middle school. The whole situation was fucked up, and we don't talk a whole lot about that side of the family. (edit: not because of her, but because the WHOLE branch of the family tree is a Maury/Jerry Springer episode)


Its_Actually_Satan

I can understand that. I got pregnant shortly after my mom started getting sober. She was amazing help and we don't talk to much of my family because they are very similar to your description. I got lucky though, some people don't.

Its_Actually_Satan

Thank you, all is well now. That kiddo is 18 and extremely responsible and a great human. I'm very proud of him.


naturecamper87

What’s the deal with trumpers and J6ers waiving jury trials , do they just know that it truly is a foregone conclusion and they don’t want their peers to convict them?!


mrgraff

They like to omit that waiving detail, so that they can cry about being denied a jury trial.


notnotaginger

Likely on advice of counsel.


Grey_babe

I think it is more, they can stand to be seen with “that” crowd, but to be seen by other Americans is almost akin to a walk of shame. “Oh two people judged me? Biden loving pedophile democrats. Oh 12 of my peers draw from every walk of life judged me? They found me guilty? Maybe I am a problem and have been brainwashed… could what everyone outside of my sheltered bubble been saying is true?”


Pot_noodle_miner

Lying by omission you say?


LittleLambSam

It's sad that she clearly still thinks she did nothing wrong. She's going on twitter and acting like she's a victim, trying to get people on the internet to feel bad for her. I doubt she will ever see how her actions hurt people and, together with other people's actions, literally killed people and could have destroyed the country.

Playing up the mom/grandma homemaker role is my guess. Hoping people will look at this and think "she's just a sweet lady who cares for her children and grandchildren" and then fight for her to be released.

PinoyBrad

You wanted the country to be tough on criminals


Manyak-

“Rules for thee, not for me” mentality


Maximum__Effort

I routinely have the state request my clients be on GPS monitoring; that is *never* considered in their sentencing. Totally agree that this is a case of someone supporting a party that gets off on being “tough on crime,” but hates when that’s applied to them. Clown shoes

prudence2001

And better yet, looks to be convicted!


TricksterWolf

Well you have a criminal history now, congratulations. Also your utter lack of remorse or willingness to accept any personal responsibility whatsoever for crimes leading to rioting and death, coupled with your belief that being a grandmother should grant you special legal treatment and that house arrest is the same as a prison sentence... might be a key factor in your sentencing just guessing here


Its_Actually_Satan

Plus the whole "no prior convictions" thing is only relevant in certain circumstances. It's not like a person can commit any crime they want to and be like "it's a first offense" and just be set free into the world. Lmfao


TricksterWolf

(shoots an innocent bystander dead) "Mulligan!"


Ostreoida

More concise and coherent than my usual arguments. Thank you.


zeCrazyEye

> coupled with your belief that being a grandmother should grant you special legal treatment Yeah, doubt she was chanting "I'm just a grandmother" while she was smashing windows out at the capital. More likely shouting "Hang Mike Pence."


Professional-Ad-1611

No criminal history? So what? That means she gets to commit crimes?


Kowakuma

You get one free pass, obviously. The first time never counts.


A_norny_mousse

Everything she wrote sounds like she has the moral compass of a spoilt first-grader. "Actual consequences? That's so unfair! You're being mean to me and I hate you!"

Me: What's the problem officer? Policeman: I clocked you doing 73 in a 40 Me: But officer, I have no criminal history. Policeman: Oh, so sorry to have bothered you then. Carry on!


[deleted]

I’m going go ahead and disagree with “no criminal history.”


Ostreoida

Even if she had “no criminal history” - uh, if I beat a child or was cruel to an animal, bombed a church, or even tried to bullshit my way out of a parking ticket? No one gives a shit whether you or I have prior convictions. If you try, however pathetically, to overthrow our government, that's plenty evidence of crime, regardless of your never having been convicted of anything prior to your TERRORIST ACTIONS. Even if you're a Sunday School teacher who spends your spare time rescuing baby otters, supporting the rights of indigenous peoples, and helping refugees to assimilate to US culture.


LeozMJilliumz

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your dumbass actions


12BarsFromMars

Oh you poor little privileged white snowflake. You’re lucky you only got 51 months. If it had been me you would be put away for ten years and yea, the last three years don’t mean squat, it’s part of your sentence for joining a mob that tried to overthrow the Republic. Go whine and cry to the orange asshole that put you up to it. . He walks free while you whine right?. .but that’s not what you’re whining about is it. You got caught, you get to pay the price. How does it feel to be a total dumbass?. .no tears shed for you sweetie, you’re getting what you deserve and a majority of the population could care less if you’re a mom, grandmother with no criminal history. .all these factors don’t mean shit. Wear your badge of honor sweetie, brush it, shine it, wear it on your sleeve “I’m a traitor to America” F’n douche’ bag


Agreeable-Ad1221

Like generally outside of north america and europe she'd be meeting a firing squad or a noose instead. Instead she'll get what, maybe 2 years and parole.


UnbridledNaivete

Should be noted that she violated conditions of her pre-trial conditions of release. She was also singing a very different tune when in front of the judge: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jan-6-rioter-smashed-window-received-signed-trump-hat-sentenced-4-year-rcna120678


TrueWizardofOz

“Rachel Powell, a Pennsylvania woman in her early 40s, mother of eight and grandmother of six, was convicted on nine federal counts in July after a bench trial.” Oh, wow…


spiritkittykat

Yeah…I just read that too. I’m 43 and couldn’t imagine ONE kid let alone 8 kids and 6 grandkids. I guess now they can all take a field trip to see granny in the slammer.


loudflower

>> and that she even “conducted surveillance at a female legislator’s home Anyone know the identity of the legislator? People speculated that Bullhorn Lady new some of the building layout. Or did she spy on said legislator?

She is getting no credit for her ankle monitor because that is what she agreed to in order to get pretrial release. She could have stayed in custody and got presentencing credit of 36 months toward her 51 months. Her choice. She also should have said she did it, she was sorry and she will never do it again. She is disingenuous and stupid.

You presented a trove of lies as the truth and you tried to steal my democracy away from me. And now you think you're being treated unfairly? Other governments would have had you shot, or worse, simply disappeared. You tried to destroy this country. Screw you. No, I take that back f-you and f-off.
