| Ohio, Jan 2018 |
You may want to look at the long article by Jessica
Garrison and Ken Bensinger, “Meet the woman facing some of the most serious Capitol
Riot charges?”, on BuzzfeedNews.
The woman is Jessica Watkins (be careful because there are others with her namesake with no connection), whose road to perdition
started with the best of intentions, after some devastating tornadoes in her
home Dayton, Ohio in the spring of 2019.
She wanted to organize a volunteer humanitarian “militia” to keep order
and assist in rebuilding when government, she and others thought, was incapable
to doing it. This sounds like healthful
localism, community solidarity.
She went from an ex-Army vet and bar owner and
volunteer firefighter, through the frustrations of COVID, to so gradual extreme
radicalization.
It wasn’t all just about social media.
