The mother of a Capitol troublemaker believes her son could serve up to 20 years in prison and would be 70 before being released. JoAnn Rowe, who is recovering from leukemia, was shaky and very excited Sunday during an interview with CNN. He also said that former President Donald Trump “doesn’t care” about the people who “stormed the Capitol for him.”
Rowe’s son is Donovan Crowl, a 50-year-old former Marine who was one of the uniformed men who attacked the Capitol on January 6. Rowe said he has a hard time believing his son did what he did, but finds it even harder to believe that Trump “hasn’t mentioned him since.” He has been out of the White House. “
“I love the person he used to be, but I despise the person he is now,” Rowe said of her son. “He is not my son, and I still have a hard time believing that he did what he did. If they give him 20 years in prison, he will have 70 years before he gets out of there. ”Trump doesn’t care about any of those people who stormed the Capitol for him. He doesn’t give a damn. He hasn’t mentioned it since he left the White House. “
Crowl belongs to the far-right Ohio militia group called Oath Keepers, which is typically made up of former police, military, and first responders. Oath Keepers was just one of many far-right groups that started a protest against the presidential election certification. 2020, in which Congress was in to declare Joe Biden the winner over Trump.
Groups outside the Capitol waved Trump flags and American flags. The mob became restless and violated four lines of police defense to finally penetrate the Capitol while Congress was in session. Members of the House and Senate were evacuated, and Vice President Mike Pence was transferred to a safe place inside the building.
Rioters marched through the halls of the Capitol, inside legislators’ offices, and finally the Senate House.
The rioters took selfies inside the building, seized office property and wreaked havoc. In total, there have been 120 arrests and four people died during the incident.
Although Congress reconvened and certified the results, this is a brief summary.
