The story: ‘Go bags’ found at home of woman who used megaphone at Capitol riot:
Federal prosecutors are asking that a Pennsylvania woman arrested in connection with the Capitol insurrection remain in jail.
They say Rachel Marie Powell, who directed fellow rioters with a megaphone during the attack, had smashed cell phones, firearm paraphernalia and “go bags” at her home.
Prosecutors say this evidence proves she’s a danger to the community and a flight risk.
The subtext, of course, is that preparing for emergencies means you’re an insurrectionist. Also, probably racist.
The story has a picture of, apparently, one such go bag:
C’mon, man, my brother had a better set of thrown weapons when he was in middle school.
I am not sure how far you’ll make it with one hand warmer, though.
Has anyone accused her on Twitter for cultural appropriation for having throwing stars?
I am not sure why this made it to the front page of my local television station. Perhaps the twentied-aged news aggregators want to make her look whack-a-doodle, therefore GUILTY! DON’T BE LIKE HER! But this is southwest Missouri, man. People are reading the article for tips for their go bags.
