Tracking Down The Rioters, The Pink Hat Goon

As we noted in our post yesterday, the criminal activities of the Trumpist Capitol insurrectionists were well documented by the perps themselves on social media. The FBI's job of tracking down these dangerous, delusional thugs is only made difficult by the sheer volume of them -- some 700 to 800 -- to track down from thousands of tips from the general public. Credit for tips and research is also due to citizen sleuth groups like the Deep State Dogs and cyber researchers at the Citizens Lab at the University of Toronto.

One of the more notorious seditionists appearing in numerous videos and photos is a Pennsylvania thug by the name of Rachel Powell, identified by her pink cap and dark sunglasses often speaking into a bullhorn. That's her FBI wanted poster above. She was filmed using a large pipe-like object to break a window and giving directions to disorganized rioters inside the Capitol as to what hallways led where. Sadly, but not for long, she's still at large, facing multiple felony counts. The estimable Ronan Farrow interviewed her for his piece today in The New Yorker, and she is a multiple wingnut offender: conspiracist Alex Jones follower, COVID denier, etc. It's a good read. 

Again, please go to the FBI page and take time to look at the faces of the insurrectionists. The FBI is committed to tracking each one down, no matter if it takes weeks or months. Let's help them.
