Following the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, eight Valley residents were charged. Tuesday, the final of those eight defendants was found guilty.

Rachel Powell was in a Washington, D.C. courtroom Tuesday for a bench trial, where she faced nine charges that include civil disorder, obstruction, destruction of U.S. property, entering a restricted building or property with a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.

    What an awful take. I can want to improve the government without supporting a bunch of treasonous idiots invading government buildings and trying to execute elected officials at the behest of a stupid petty tyrant trying to overthrow our democracy. There’s a pretty big gulf between “100% for America in every way” and “being okay invading the government and murdering the people that comprise it.”

        This is easily the dumbest take I’ve seen on the Internet. Good job.

          Wow, what a naive soul. You have so little practical experience that criticism of the US two party system is the “dumbest take” you’ve “ever seen.” Not a good look, bro.

              Very brave, attempting to imply that people who disagree with your wantonly ignorant and fascist enabling take are “on meds” meaning mentally ill. Very Compassionate and Conservative, you must vote for Democrats, or Republicans as both parties appeal to you.
