Pilot Mountain woman becomes first Triad resident convicted in Jan. 6 Capitol attack
A Pilot Mountain woman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge Thursday in connection to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, according to court records. She is accused, along with her husband, of going into the U.S. Capitol without permission.
Virginia Marie Spencer, 38, became the first person from the Triad to be convicted on charges related to what happened on Jan. 6. On that day, hundreds of people stormed the U.S. Capitol, assaulting law-enforcement officers and causing $1.4 million in property damage, in an effort to stop the U.S. Congress from certifying the presidential election. They falsely believed that the election had been stolen from former president Donald Trump due to voter fraud. There is no evidence that Trump won the election.
Spencer appeared via Zoom in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. and pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. She also had been facing three other misdemeanor charges — entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
As part of the plea arrangement, federal prosecutors will request that those remaining charges be dismissed. Spencer could face a six-month prison sentence. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly scheduled Spencer’s sentencing for Jan. 7, 2022. Spencer will be out on pre-trial release until then.

She also wore a gray knit cap, a black facemask and a jacket with the anti-gun-control message: “F*** gun control,” with the letters F and K formed by weapons positioned accordingly.

She is getting by pretty cheap. I would like the lot of them sent to Gitmo and the key tossed away. 
So she'll get that taken off. So she got a slap on the wrist. 
... Constitutional democracy? And during that violence 5 people died, over 100 police officers were
injured, police lines were crossed, 30 million $s in damage to the US Capitol, and people were looking
to kill Speaker Pelosi and the Vice President.
"causing $1.4 million in property damage," no try > 30 million $s in damage.
many of these Olmsted Laterns were damaged in the violence and they date back
to the 1880s and to the guy who designed Central Park, Fredrick Law Olmsted.
