Capitol rioter dubbed "bullhorn lady" sentenced to over 4 years in prison

[Superbadbrutha]

A Pennsylvania woman was sentenced Tuesday after being captured on video of using a bullhorn to direct people during the Capitol riot, per the Department of Justice.

Driving the news: Rachel Marie Powell, a 43-year-old from Sandy Lake who was dubbed the "bullhorn lady," was sentenced to 57 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release after being found guilty in July of nine felony and misdemeanor charges.

• She was also ordered to pay more than $8,000 in restitution and fees.

Catch up quick: Prosecutors said Powell was one of the first rioters to break through onto Capitol grounds and was accused of using an ice axe and a battering ram to smash a window during the riot.

• She was caught on video speaking through a bullhorn and giving detailed instructions about the layout of the Capitol to others, according to the Justice Department.
• Powell was arrested on Feb. 4, 2021, and was later place on home detention for violating her pre-trial conditions of release, per NBC.

Of note: In the days after the riot, Powell bragged on social media about the rioters' behavior and their violence against law enforcement.

• The DOJ said that in one such instance, she wrote: "IT WAS F--ING WAR TO GET IN. IF YOU WERE NOT HERE THEN STFU."

Rachel Marie Powell, who is better known as the “Bullhorn Lady,” was sentenced to more than 4 years in prison for the part she played in the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. She wrote, “My heart is breaking,” on social media a short time before a judge handed down her sentence.

Is 4yrs too long?

Why is her heart breaking?

Is 4yrs too long?

Hell no.

Another weaponized weak-minded member of the Trump cult pays a heavy price for her credulity.

Sad.

Is 4yrs too long?

57 months is almost 5 years, and no, that's not too long for treason.

 

[g5000]

The insurrectionists who committed serious acts of violence deserve long prison sentences.

The real offense is that the ringleaders are getting off with pleas and with no prison time attached.

57 months is almost 5 years, and no, that's not too long for treason.

The inner-city people that more and more need to travel to outlying areas to purchase products and get medicines and such have their own prisons going from their insurrections. And they are on automatic redial for more.

 

[Cougarbear]

Hell no.

Did she hurt anyone? Heck, the Democrat DA's and AG's let thugs who hurt and murder people out on bail and never try them.

WTF are you talking about?

That's the excuse you are going to use?

 

[Cougarbear]

That's the excuse you are going to use?

Yes! Until you liberal commies start defending the victims rather than the criminals.

Why even post this? The sentence is ridiculous and you people say the government is not weaponized. You must get off on fascism.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Yes! Until you liberal commies start defending the victims rather than the criminals.

Oh now she is a victim, was that after she smashed her way into the Capitol.

Yeah, middle aged women do a lot of smashing. You are a clown.

Sounds just like what Ray Epps did. I've SEEN Ray doing it at the capitol 50 times but never even HEARD of this lady before. What kind of time is Ray doing?

 

[toobfreak]

Smfh.

DFN

Not what I said. You libs are all about proportionality so when libs accept that they are anti-semetic and double-talkers.

 

[wamose]

If Democrats had any platform at all, they wouldn't have to dwell on shit like this. The lady with a bullhorn has first amendment rights like everyone else. Today's Democrat party of death to Israel, defund police, never-ending wars and wide-open borders is irretrievably out of control. MAGA

Yea middle aged white women don't break the Law, do they dumbass?
