This happened the day before the election in Edmonds, Washington, which is just north of Seattle. A small group of Trump supporters were holding a rally on the sidewalk, waving flags and trying to get the attention of passing motorists.
While this was happening, an older woman wearing a Kamala Harris pin approached the group and started questioning one of the women waving a Trump flag. This is from a press release put out by Edmonds police.
Officers were called to the scene just before 1:00pm for a report of an assault. Officers arrived to find multiple community members supporting a specific political figure. They also observed the suspect engaging with these supporters. When officers contacted the suspect, she stated that she could not understand why people of color would support this particular candidate. The suspect was very animated and even attempted to push an officer while demonstrating how she had acted.
Officers interviewed a 55-year-old female victim from Edmonds victim who stated that the suspect had gotten into her face as she was rallying in support of her chosen candidate. The suspect commented on the victim’s attire and skin color before the suspect pushed the victim and punched her in the chin. A second victim, a 66year-old Edmonds woman, intervened and stepped between the suspect and the first victim. The suspect responded by punching her as well. Officers also interviewed multiple witnesses to the incident. Neither victim suffered significant injury nor required medical treatment.
Investigating officers established probable cause for a Hate Crime arrest under RCW 9A.36.080. The suspect continued to show no remorse for the incident and the potential to continue her behavior toward others. A patrol supervisor approved the suspect’s booking into the Snohomish County Jail.
The entire incident was caught on police body cam. What we can see in that is that the woman who threw the punches was the first person police encountered at the scene. She claimed she had put her hand on someone’s chin but didn’t admit to punching anyone. Police then spoke to Gina Powell and Mary Jennings, the victims in the incident. Neither was hurt they were clearly upset at being attacked by a stranger because over skin color.
“And that’s when she shoved me, pushed me back, and I said don’t touch me. And then not even a second, she just popped me right in my chin,” said Powell…
That’s when Jennings said she stepped in between both women.
“I said you have no right to touch anyone, and she goes all I did was all it was barely like this, and she punched me, but she connected, and you know, it slammed my jaw shut,” Jennings said. Both women are physically okay, but it’s been an emotional toll.
Powell put the attack in perspective.
“He got shot by a bullet And he said ‘fight, fight, fight,’ I got a little jab in my chin, so I’m not sitting down,” said Powell, referring to the Trump assassination attempt in Bulter County, Pennsylvania last July. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
