Family Fumes After Capitol Rioter Out on Bond Kills Young Mom in Drunken Crash

[CatWoman]

A 22-year-old woman who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was drunk and driving in the wrong direction on Wednesday night when she killed a young mom and seriously injured another driver, authorities said.

Emily Hernandez was driving west in the eastbound lanes in Franklin County, Missouri, just after 7 p.m. when she crashed into another car that spun into the median strip and struck cable barriers, police said. Both vehicles “swerved to avoid each other,” according to a crash report posted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, but that didn’t spare 32-year-old Victoria Wilson, a passenger in a 2019 Buick Enclave, who perished.

Her husband, 36-year-old Ryan Wilson, who was behind the wheel, and Hernandez were both seriously injured and transported to local hospitals for treatment, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Hernandez was booked Wednesday night on allegations that she was driving while intoxicated resulting in death and serious injury of the couple, according to an arrest report.

1. So, Being A Seditionist Wasn't Enough For Her

She just had to tack on vehicular homicide.
What a piece of work. Or the word Wilson's mom used.

[Ilsa]

2. Hopefully she won't be out of prison for a long time.

Fuck her.

[Cha]

3. This is unbearably sad for the

family and loved ones of Victoria Wilson

Damn the Stupid Brainwashed Domestic Terrorists Throw her back in Prison.

[bottomofthehill]

12. Rules don't apply to her. She is a victim.

It’s not her fault. Trumpy bear says it’s ok

4. I'd be curious to see the criminal records of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

I wonder how many have DUI, domestic violence, assault, drug and other offenses in their record?

[3auld6phart]

14. High

I’d wager very high. 90% if not more. Meth mouthed, snot sucking,
knuckle dragging scum. It would be interesting to know for sure.

27. "30 percent of those arrested on Jan. 6 had prior criminal history,

mostly for misdemeanors like marijuana charges, but with other right-wing extremists, it’s 64 percent have prior criminal history."

29. Thank you. That is an informative article.

30. Wait WHAAAAAAAAT

Marijuana charges? In the party of "family values" and "personal responsibility" NO WAY!

[BlackSkimmer]

5. So, she was still out of jail,despite insurrectionist activities?

Not to mention being a thief.

6. Two boys, aged 10 & 15 are now motherless.

.

“She had a heart of gold,” Victoria’s mom Tonie Donaldson told the outlet, adding that her daughter was a home healthcare aide who worked with disabled people. “Not everyone can work with mentally challenged children, and she’s done it since she was 13.”

During a hearing after Hernandez turned herself in to the FBI last year, prosecutors had not recommended that she be jailed until trial. At the time, she was ordered released on bond but was prohibited from contact with law enforcement as a condition of her release.

Mourning her daughter’s death, Donaldson questioned why Hernandez wasn’t in custody.

“Why is she still out?” Donaldson told the outlet. “With what she did to the government, why is she still walking the street? To me, she’s a piece of [expletive]. At 7 o’clock, you’re drunk and she got on the highway drunk?”

7. Emily Hernandez should have been kept locked up

Emily Hernandez is a loser and now she has taken away someone's life. Throw the book at her and do NOT let her go back to her "freedom"

She killed someone!

[SheltieLover]

13. Absofuckingloutely!

Judge who allowed her release should get life imo!

[lpbk2713]

8. Booked on allegations??

Didn't they give her a blood alcohol test?

[NH Ethylene]

11. Innocent 'til proven guilty.

The press has to say allegations until the person is convicted.

[Iggo]

31. Due process.

Everyone who’s booked is booked on allegations. That’s how it works.

[NH Ethylene]

10. I doubt there was good cause to deny her bail.

She turned herself in so was not a flight risk and her DC crimes would not suggest she was a danger to others (since she did not physically attack anyone).

Like so many others, she chose to drive after drinking and the worst happened. She will pay dearly for this, as it should be, but connecting it to the Jan.6 crimes is just grief talking.

[Torchlight]

20. I think priors are often relevant rather than merely an expression of grief.

[NH Ethylene]

34. Prior DUIs, certainly.

But there is not any reason to think someone in the insurrection is likely to then drive drunk (other than the stupidity factor).

[FakeNoose]

15. First she was a traitor, now she's a murderer

Lock her up!

[tenderfoot]

16. Now she's really going to jail!

A lot longer than she than a few months, which all she would have gotten for 01/06/21.

[Iris]

17. I hope so. What a trash person.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. My experience has been

that they get six years for Vehicular homicide, out in three for good behavior. A number go back out on the streets, no license, no insurance, and drinking heavily to make up for lost time.......

I have never understood why a death from drunken driving has such a light sentence..........Of course, I have never understood why they allow such a high BAC of .08 either.....

[Progressive Jones]

18. They are all fucking scum! All 74 million of them. nt

[oswaldactedalone]

19. Well said.

[in2herbs]

21. Her sentences should be served consecutively. That will be akin to life. nt

[StocktonNative]

22. Mandatory 6-10 year prison sentence for DUI death. Her Bond is now revoked.

She isn't getting out soon; she is fighting multiple cases now.

Have fun in jail where the peckerwood females will have your lunch.

[IbogaProject]

24. Also both can consider the other for sentancing increases

Also both can consider the other for sentancing increases, once she pleas or is convicted the other allegations can count to make her sentence worse.

[uponit7771]

25. Wait, what she did was ... NOT ... some low level vandalism or just being there. WOW doj

[joshcryer]

26. This is so tragic. I bet she was celebrating.

Since 1) it was the anniversary and 2) she was getting a slap on the wrist. So she was out drunk and celebrating. Then she went and ruined many lives for nothing. So sad.

[Johnny2X2X]

28. The insurrectionists were the worst scum in the country

All of them, just pure scumbags. Tried to violently overthrow their government because their feelings got hurt when their savior didn't win. This self entitled and delusional group is capable of anything, I'm sure this drunk driver thought it was her right to drive drunk and wasn't going to let big government stop them.

[Iggo]

32. It's a fucking tragedy and it never should have happened.

That being said, I think I’ll hide this thread now, before the parade of punishment fetishists gets too long.
