ASHLI BABBITT WOULDN'T HAVE SHED A TEAR IF A MEMBER OF CONGRESS DIED
This morning we learned the identity of the woman who was shot while storming the Capitol yesterday.
The woman was 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, a California native and Air Force veteran, her former husband told The Washington Post....
Babbitt, a native of San Diego, served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the Air Force before other deployments with the National Guard to Kuwait and Qatar, ex-husband Timothy McEntee told The Post....
On social media, Babbitt recorded combative videos about immigration policy, while expressing her support for a border wall. In early September, she tweeted a picture from a Trump boat parade in San Diego wearing a shirt that said, "We are Q," referring to QAnon, the far-right conspiracy theory. The tweet also included the hashtag "#WWG1WGA," an acronym used by supporters who believe in the claims that Trump was battling a group of "deep state" child abusers.
Babbitt also retweeted messages calling for Vice President Pence to resign and be charged with treason, videos of Trump rallies and photos of the president's supporters flying to D.C. for the protests.
In one of her final posts, she responded to a tweet saying many flights to D.C. were canceled because of weather. "The entire world is corrupt," the person said.
In response, Babbitt wrote: "Nothing will stop us ... they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours … dark to light!"
I've been looking at her Twitter feed, which is still up. She regularly retweeted praise for Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, and (especially) Lin Wood -- not to mention Julian Assange.
She was a COVID truther who liked videos of people refusing to wear masks in stores.
She lived in Southern California and was not a fan of her governor.
What's more, she seemed to relish the thought of her political enemies coming to a violent end.
Let's get a closer look at that last one:
No Congress member or staffer was killed yesterday. Ashli Babbitt was killed. But I'm fairly certain that if the situation were reversed, she wouldn't have been horrified. She'd have thought justice was meted out to a traitor. Posted by Steve M. at 7:06 PM Older PostHome Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)

This is the first I read of this woman's background and beliefs, although it hardly comes as a surprise. I will save my sorrow for someone that deserves it.
As the article says, she wouldnt have shed a tear if one of the liberal congresspeople or senators had been killed.
fuck her and every other Q domestic terrorist. she's dead and gone. too bad it wasn't a head shot.
Witness said it was the right carotid artery, she was dead in seconds.
sucks being a domestic terrorist.
That brought to mind an old idiom from the 80s, one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
just depends on who you ask and the point of view which one one will be.
Good point. But IMO, this woman was on the wrong side of the law
... and a gun barrel... ha ha ha
She was ex Air Force..... I honor her for her service, but strongly question her ability to apply facts to her oath to defend the US Constitution.
she'll be remembered for act of domestic terrorism now.
She was a 14 year veteran. Now...most everyone I know that did at least 10 stayed until they reached 20 or longer. Why did she get out at 14 when she only had another 6 to go? It's possible that she was forced to leave for a reason such as she couldn't make rank...or something else.
Yes, I'm speculating. Again.
From the self video while driving in 2018 she had an anger issue but was an equal opportunity hater when it came to politicians as she also threatened Duncan Hunter along with a list of Democrats.
She apparently still lived in San Diego at the time
The crap people do, then they post it on FB? (forever)
When she violated the oath she took, she ceased being part of my extended military family along with that pos LTC.
You might be correct. I am betting she had some adverse OER's (Officer Evaluation Reports) which can be a career killer promotion wise. But then again, my father only did 14 years in the USMC. I was only about two when he faced a four year unaccompanied tour in Japan. He had seen too many families torn apart by these tours and didn't want to entertain that possibility, so he finished his current contract and got out. He loved the USMC, but he loved me and my mother more.. He went on to become highly successful in his chosen profession.
I feel the exact same way about every rioter, looter and business destroyer during 8 continuous months of rioting in blue cities and states.
Good thing we can agree on something.
false equivalencies are the common denominator of false americans.
Nothing false about it.
There is a very high chance that ANTIFA and BLM will again cause violence somewhere in this country. When this happens, I hope the police forces in those cities fill each and every one of those torsos with lead.
As far as "false American" comment, I will put my 20 years of service to this country up against most liberal years of hiding under mommy's apron because "orange man bad".
... and the oath you took in the service was to do what?
I will put up my 23 and bet that he does not even remember the content of the oath.
Protect those of you while you are hiding under your mommy's apron.
[removed]
You see, Paula, I have a morals and ethics that tell me I should not insult those that actually took the oath to protect this coun try and the Constitution.
[removed]
I will put up my 9.5. I'm no liberal hiding under Mommy's apron
Kudos to whoever took that trash out.
Were there any rioters at the Capitol Building yesterday that are not Q Anon? All of the ones I am seeing interviewed or photographed seem to be Q. Trump called them his people.
tRump did call them his people and he told them that they were very special and that he loved them
LE should have emptied their clips and stacked up all these traitors like firewood. Instead, it appears that they were welcomed in for a selfie and pillage session. This pos was probably killed by accident from the bumbling idiots in charge of protecting our government.
I think Trump colluded with some white supremacists in the Capitol Police force.
And you make fun of Qanon....
The left spent the summer calling for the police to avoid confronting rioting mobs and avoiding escalating " confrontations as they assaulted police and now you are surprised when the cop's followed the left's preferred method of giving free reign to rioters?
You're joking , right ?
You are the one pushing a wacky conspiracy with no evidence, not me.
No, not joking. This is what Putin needs people to accept. And it does work for some.
Lets just see where this goes with the police. Keep our mouths closed and minds open for a bit and see what comes out shall we....?
Sean why didnt they have a proper deployment of officers and equipment out there prior to the breaching of their lines? Was that an accident ? , oversight? The truth is it's now a scandal. When BLM was there having a rally, there was rows of cops in riot gear. Yesterday they did the old 'ole' defense. Cops taking selfies with the rioters.
You go ahead and explain it.
Glad to see at least one here is reasonable.
"I think Trump colluded with some white supremacists in the Capitol Police force."
I wouldn't be surprised - Some of them were taking selfies with the domestic terrorists
Would you please find a new song and dance routine? This one is getting really old
I think BLM and Antifa have a bad track record with the Vandalism, Burning and Looting so they were prepared for them, and they didn't want them anywhere near the buildings because of the spray paint. As far as the criminals who breached the capitol they were a tiny minority of this protest. I haven't been able to find out exactly how many people entered the capitol building but from what I've seen I doubt it was more than a couple hundred. It's troubling that anyone was able to break into that building, I would have thought that it would have been much more secure even on an average day. I would have thought that the windows would have been some type of blast resistant glass or something a little tougher than it was. Who'd a thought someone could break into the US Capitol Building as easily as breaking into an average American Residence. There's definitely some problems with security when my old Junior High had better security than the Capitol Building. Anyone with any sense at all who was involved with Capitol Security should have assumed that any crowd (even everyday tourists) could contain potential Bad Actors and prepared for the worst but apparently they have no clue. All I can say is if the Capitol Building is this easily penetrated what does that say about the Billions we pay for National Security It's a Bad Joke!
I think the Chief of Capitol Police resigned over this
eep our mouths closed and minds open for a bit and see what comes out shall we..
fly's motto... Keep your mouth closed and let conspiracies air.
John is pushing a conspiracy. Not me. Address your advice to him.
":I think Trump colluded with some white supremacists in the Capitol Police force."
That sort of conspiracy pushing is Aokay with you......
s in riot gear. Yesterday they did the old 'ole' defense. Cops taking selfies with the rioters.
Do you honestly not remember summer 2020? IT happened in your city. Did Lightfoot and BLM supporters in the police department collude to let the city burn?
they were awfully chummy with the CP...taking selfies and stuff
and both Sargents at Arms for the House & Senate
although they did evacuate everyone safely...
Some certainly did. And there was lots of that going on over the summer with police too.
"deescalation" and letting rioters run rampant was used by police departments all over the country this summer. It's a stupid strategy and I hope the disaster at the Capitol spells the end of it.
from what i have read , him , the chief of the DC metro police job is on the line , as are both sargents- of -arms on both the house and senate side of the capitol. and the list is still being compiled from what i understand.
With this I can agree with.
I got into a tiff with one that tends to easily go off the rails when confronted with facts on meta the other day. I was told that I should agree with what is being told to me or shut the fuck up.
This is not surprising and expected.
However, in a way, I think Fly is kinda right. We don';t know everything yet and the truth will come out, no matter how much the left will try and suppress it if it will make the look bad.
I'm just going to sit back and watch the failure of the Biden administration, much like I did with the Obama admin.
Two years and taking back the House is not that far away.
Of course he did. Some of the mob were off duty police also.
I hope every one of the LEO's who colluded with the enemy gets fired.
Another one that doesn't realize that the Mayor of DC has NO responsibility for defending the Capitol. Get educated.
excellent album
No she is the dumb fuck that thought painting "Black Lives Matter" on the street was a good use of DC tax payer money; and represented everyone that lived there. She was not siding with BLM and left wing rioters at all./S
And she also told law enforcement to stand down before the most recent DC riot. Suppose she is not to blame for that either. Typical Democrats- take no responsibility for anything. But Trruuummmmppppp!!!! is all they have!
DC is a part of Maryland, period. She is the mayor, period. There is a reason that DC wasn't given statehood to begin with. Democrats' wet dreams about making DC a state will never come to reality.
As for this lovely article's premise. Democrats claim to be better than the MAGA protesters; but judging by many of the comments here- her death is being celebrated by those on the left. She was unarmed, not a threat; but she was still shot and killed. Unless DC hires really pathetic wimps of LEO's, and 3 of them couldn't have subdued her w/o use of lethal force. If she had been a BLM protester the riots would have lasted for weeks across the US. Calls for the officer to be sentenced to the maximum the law would all from Democratic politicians.
Just like DeVos and the turtle hag, he resigned before he could get fired.
Prove it.
That is a lie.
Another lie.
They knew that HOW?
She was a threat.
Don't you and yours insist that citizens comply with LEO's orders? Don't Trump followers claim to 'Back the Blue' and to be all about law and order?
She was climbing through a breached door into the hall outside of the House chamber. She was told that the officer was armed. Yet she persisted. She committed multiple crimes. She is one of the few whose privilege didn't hold up.
Oh my lord. That is not the standard for a shooting. Can you imagine if cops went around shooting people on the grounds that they didn’t know a person was unarmed?
Never said it was. Why pretend I did?
Save your fake outrage for someone who may be naïve enough to believe it.
I’m not outraged.
You are free to clarify the meaning of your remarks, but I quoted your words, and also the words you were replying to for context. You are free to explain why it matters that the shooting officer didn’t know his target was unarmed.
To clarify my point, the officer is supposed to think his target is armed and is about to harm either the officer or someone else. I don’t see how not knowing she was unarmed could possibly be relevant, but you are free to explain your position or not. All the rest of us can do is respond to the words you wrote.
I know, that's why I characterized it as fake.
You may have READ the context but your obviously don't understand it.
AGAIN, I didn't say it did.
As I have stated before, whether she was armed or not is irrelevant.
Where did you get that from?
Your continuous misrepresentation of my comments is on you.
Try doing so without interjecting your own false interpretations.
Last worditis is strong with some
The lack of credibility illustrated by members who spew bullshit and then insist they have no burden of proof isn't a fantasy.
removed for context
Really Dennis? Are you sure you want to go there?
We could say that about you too.
Perhaps we can ask the families of these unarmed citizens, none of whom were trespassing and vandalizing the Capitol Building threatening to hang the Vice President... how they feel about the deaths of their loved ones.

Need I go on?
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason.
I do not approve of the way the officer just popped up and shot her,
but none of those people should have been inside that building, injuring an killing cops.
On what planet dennis?
Are you so uninformed about US history that you actually believe that the posters unequivocal statement that "DC is a part of Maryland, period" is true?
BTFW, note that the member that posted the lie did so 'without proof'. Quoting another's lie is proof of nothing. The member who made the allegation about the Mayor has the burden of proof. That's how this shit works.
A Capitol Police officer defended the Capitol from a violent insurgent.
The insurgents beat a Capitol Police officer to death. THAT speaks volumes.
Wow glad your not in control of anything.
Maybe you should explain 4.1.6 then, since it’s unlikely that Sean will. You must be full of answers.
Q. what do you call a trumpette with a runny nose?
A. full
Trump said "When the looting starts, the shooting starts'.
Is the new standard to determine if it's okay to kill unarmed people?
Would George Floyd have shed tears over the death of a cop? he stuck a gun in the belly of a pregnant woman while looking for drugs and money to steal. Does that make killing him acceptable?
Remember you did this the next time you get all upset when the past of the left's new victim of the week is brought up.
Reading through her social media posts, I determine that she would not have shed a tear if Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff were shot and killed by one of the rioters. In fact I think she would have been pleased if that happened. So I choose not to grieve her demise. I'm sure she has family and friends doing that tonight.
There you go.
On that sort of basis, I am not grieving for a conspiracy nut who broke into someplace she didnt belong and was shot by the authorities whose job it was to protect that place and the people there.
I think that may be the key word here, she may have been mentally ill to have strayed so far from her former self. I would have shot her though, if I were guarding an entrance or checkpoint in the capitol building I would assume it was my duty to keep uninvited people out period and I would have probably killed a lot more. We don't know yet what they were being told over the radios as to how to respond as most of the intruders were just wandering around and not being violent. I imagine they get their orders from someone who can see all the CC Camera footage and make judgements on the overall situation not just what was happening at one doorway. It seems like after the first group violently penetrated the building others just went in because they could and wandered around like a bunch of jackasses. In the end they did shoot her and I betting the people she was with trying to break into the inner chamber ran away mighty quick once they realized what they were facing.
Her husband now has to go back to cruising family reunions and high schools for companionship.
[deleted]
Is this Q Anon nutcase a martyr to you Sunshine? I am actually sorry she is dead. I assume that at a personal level she was a nice lady. Unfortunately she also espoused an insane political ideology that can do tremendous damage to our society. But most importantly, she wouldnt shed a tear if Pelosi or Schiff or Bernie Sanders were assassinated, would she? I think we all know the answer to that considering that she calls all those people traitors who should be executed.
Let's get real.
Depends on what they are disagreeing about.

MAGA is lacking the ability to distinguish facts from propaganda.....

Alright. Then what is MAGA, Perrie Halpern R.A.?
So you people are celebrating a veteran shot in the neck by police? [deleted]
Why does it matter if she was a veteran? Veterans cant go bad?
Ok then how about a human being?
I'm not happy she died. I wish she were still alive, and I wish she hadnt thought it a good idea to go into the US Capitol because she believes insane conspiracy theories. She's dead today because she was Q Anon.
Thank you Sherlock Smith.
my view is she is dead because she failed to follow instructions of the capitol police, and i might as well go on record by stating anyone that crossed the threshold to the interior of the capitol , needs to be prosecuted , those that remained outside , i dont think so unless they were caught breaking some law of the city or capitol itself.
I dont think she would have been in that building but for her Q Anon beliefs. She died for a conspiracy theory.
She is the only one to blame for her own actions. Did those actions warrant a shoot? An investigation will determine that.
and that is my thinking , she ultimately had to make her own choices, she chose wrong.
Maybe they should have just choked her to death. If that’s an appropriate sentence for selling loose cigarettes while black then it should apply for this pos.
So you see nothing wrong with what she did? Like when they plotted to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, weren't you the one who said something to the effect of 'so what, they would have let her go in a few hours'?
[deleted]
Oh revenge is your type of justice.
Hmmmm...seems there is just a little difference between a death penalty delivered in a court of law and someone getting shot without being tried.
But you know this already.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Who here ever said they approved of the man being choked to death?
Gee, I dunno. Is Officer Pantaleo in prison for murdering a helpless black man pleading for his life?
Just imagine for one second if BLM would have responded by showing up at the state or federal capital dragging a gallows or a guillotine and zip ties. It would have been a blood bath for them.
I do not know.
WTF does what happened to him have to do with the topic, or is that just the very, very best deflection you could muster up?
R-i-g-h-t.
And there he goes, fluttering in to provide defense for everything wrong with this country.
yes, it surely was.
And so is attempting weakly to make a legally-handed down death penalty the equal of someone being shot without benefit of trial.
But again, I know you know this and just are choosing to ignore it.
And there you go again, a perfect example of you deliberately telling a lie about what I posted.
Where did I defend anything?
Be honest--at least.
I think that was you.
[deleted]
You mean like this???
Where are these cities that we've been burning down on a daily basis?
[deleted]
[deleted]
[deleted]
This happened all summer long and the Left said absolutely nothing.
And Texan accuses me of being dishonest. Plenty was said by the Left condemning the looting and burning of cities. Understanding a level of frustration that white folks will never personally know and accepting the reaction to it are two entirely different things. Do you even understand the frustration on display at the capital on Wednesday? If so, please explain it to us.
I know it was.
[deleted]
She was shot because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time
They just don't want to let themselves believe that people on the left everywhere including NT did condemn the looting, rioting and arson. That doesn't fit their narrative
Get it straight.
I didn't accuse you, I flat out stated you lied in your post
Your semantic arguments are ridiculously exhausting. As if your statements are more meaningful than your accusations to any thinking person on this planet. I suppose that’s what happens after you bash your head into a hot lightbulb enough times.
Your answer still doesn't change the fact you lied when you accused me of defending everything wrong in this country-- a claim, I note, you STILL can't defend logically or honestly.
Lol - are you seriously asking me to justify every past instance of you defending the indefensible?! You are so well known for this and you semantic arguments that it would be easier to just run an NT poll of how many members agree. I’d rather bash my own head into a hot lightbulb.
Feel free!
When you wrote your lie, did you mean everything I have ever defended, or are we sticking to the topic?
Either way, you should prove your idiotic claims.
Or continue to just lie about what I have stated.
As I read all your exchanges, a Mark Twain quote comes to mind:
”Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
that is a piss-poor defense of your lie.
I'm sure it is the best you can do.
Here is one from Twain I thought of when replying:
He will try to talk you to death Hal. That is his way of "winning" arguments.
Is that how ya'll "own" conservatives?

Basically, she was shot in the neck for trespassing. People have stormed government buildings before. Absent something more, it's usually considered to be inappropriate to shoot a person for just that.
Do you routinely ask such inane questions?
(Rhetorical)
Trespassing is when you enter someones property when no one is around.
Storming the capitol building may be technically trespassing, but not in the practical sense.
Almost. Trespassing is when you enter the property of another without permission - even if they are present. It can also mean that you enter a public building even when security tells you not to.
In most trespassing situations, law enforcement only takes some kind of action if you are ordered to leave and you don't. I don't have a problem with cops doing that in DC for people coming into the Capitol. My point is that trespassing, in general, is usually considered a very minor crime. It's usually a ticket or the most low level of misdemeanors. For restricted federal buildings, the penalties can be more severe, of course, but it's still the same basic act.
Cops are supposed to shoot if they are protecting their own lives or the lives of someone else. We had better hear some evidence that this lady was threatening someone's life. Otherwise, she was murdered.
According to Capitol Police , the incident happened this way:
We are obviously missing many details, but this description makes it sound like a cop shot randomly into a crowd. That used to bother people. Not anymore I guess. I guess it depends on the politics of who gets shot.
Lets get real. One or two or three people entering the building might be "trespassing". Tourists who got lost .
1000 people entering the building by breaking doors and windows are not trespassing, they are invading.
Then why not just open up on all of them? Reading the comments, I'm getting the impression that several people here would be just fine with Capitol Police putting those 1000 bodies in the ground. Why stop at 1?
I wonder how many would need to be shot before people started to question the necessity of it?
If someone breaks a window in your house and enters through it, you better not shoot them. All they are doing is trespassing.
I think you already know the differences there.
Look at all these people in the Capitol building in Wisconsin in 2011. No tear gas. Not one person shot. And they were there for three weeks.
I'm not trying to advocate for this kind of thing. I just want to know why this (admittedly wacky) lady in DC needed to be shot, and it sickens me to see people celebrating it.
No one is celebrating it.
The senators and congresspeople were in fear for their life. Were they in fear of people who were just trespassing? If the intruders were just trespassing, why didnt they leave when law enforcement told them to. They didnt leave, they attacked the cops. [removed]
Really? Have you read through these comments?
Are you going to tell me she wasn't on the wrong side of the law?
That's literally what trespassing is.
Who attacked the cops? This lady attacked the cops? So far, even the cops aren't saying that. Where are you getting your information? They went down there to get into the building, not to attack cops.
Tacos, do you think you would be justified in shooting someone who's breaking into your home?
Because the cops were outnumbered
Come on man. 60 officers hospitalized, 1 dead, 15 still in hospital mainly head injuries from lead pipe wielding "trespassers". 9 molotovs confiscated, 1 AR, different numbers of handguns, pipe bombs.
Police tased with their own tasers....
Where are you not getting the right information?
And I would do that because . . . ?
I guess we'll just assume that no citizens are in the hospital or dead.
Are you suggesting they should have shot more people?
I bet the cops had more bullets. And anyway, if you're going to shoot one, why not 10? 50? 100? 1000?
Well from what I have heard and read; 1 shot to death entering the House through a broken window.
One died of heart attack, another of a stroke and a woman was trampled to death near the doors to Statuary hall.
No word if any were foolish enough to go to a hospital in D.C.
No, Are you seriously baiting me? Really?
I know--and that is sad.
I took my military oath seriously which did not end when I retired.
Seriously, is there ANY doubt that she and those with her were threatening elected officials? The door she and her buddies were trying to bash down is one of those for egress from the House gallery were quite a few members were watching the debate. If they got in there, the members would not have been able to be evacuated to safety.
Threaten them with what? Her fists? That calls for a shot to the neck, for sure. How about harsh language? Maybe she just wanted to get into the building so she could shout at members of the House.
Or maybe she really did want to kill somebody. I truly don't know. But I don't think anyone else does either, and I don't think the cop who shot her had been reading her Twitter account right before he pulled the trigger.
And even if he had, so what? If we were to hold people that accountable for all the memes they post online, half the NT members could be shot on sight.
All year long, I've watched mobs chase cops from their own police stations, burn down businesses, hundreds of cops have been injured around the country.
But the people in those demonstrations were no threat, right? They just wanted to express themselves. They're peaceful protestors, dontcha know.
I don't excuse what this lady and her compatriots were doing. I condemn it, just like I condemn all the violence we have seen all year. But not every crime warrants shooting someone, and I have said that also, time after time, all year long.
It doesn't matter WHY she wanted to get into the building. The SECOND she walked past the barriers outside, she committed a federal crime. She was participating in mob insurrection. The LEOs knew that the Capitol defenses had been breached and that lawmakers were still in the House chamber.
Again, her motive is irrelevant.
I don't think that the cop who shot her knew if she was armed either. I find it ironic that every time a black person is shot by police, every detail of their background is aired in the national media but you seem to have an issue with 'this lady' being exposed for what she was.
Hyperbolic BS. Your false equivalency is noted.
Well at least you admit that they were violent. Guess they means they were threatening too, right?
Well gee Tacos, I'm sure that were YOU on the other side of those doors, with a screaming mob trying to break through, you would have refrained from using force, just like the three cops that WERE blocking the door but decided to move and let the mod continue to try to bash thru the doors to the gallery to get at lawmakers.
Well, you got it all figured out. They should have opened up on the crowd with automatic weapons, I guess.
... as soon as those crowds broke thru the doors and windows.
Yup! That's all they do here. They really do know the truth, but, it is more fun for them to play stupid just to pull your chain and see how frustrated and angry you get at their stupid answers.
That's what you think, but scroll up one comment. Some people here actually believe it should have gone that way.
The guy who had the heart attack was the result of the taser gun in his pants that went off and got him in the balls.
Based on the fact that I know, yes.
They should have treated them on par with other protests this year. Rubber bullets, teargas, pepper bombs, flash bombs, mounted park police, shields, batons. DHS, SS and NG ALL armed.
Instead, some of them opened the barriers, were taking selfies and guiding insurgents to lawmakers offices.
Not ONE insurgent should have step foot in the Capitol. NOT ONE.
how about treating them like those fine folks who occupied several blocks of a city without punishment if any kind?
I agree that no one should have ever made it inside. Somebody failed on the security end. And if, somehow, everything done was in accordance with existing policies and procedures, then those policies and procedures need to be changed.
As for treating them like other protests, that is a mixed bag/can of worms. In fact, tear gas was used on the crowd, and we know at least one person was shot by police, so there’s that. On the other hand, several protests over the last six months have been allowed to rage, unchecked, for hours, days, and even weeks. That repeated lack of response to protests combined with explicit encouragement from politicians and news media - even in the face of looting, arson, and assault - emboldened the mob at the Capitol. I am certain that many of them thought, “if the other side gets away with it, we might as well do it, too.”
Please take your false equivalencies elsewhere.
STOP with the false equivalencies.
Then you are 'certain' about something you have no way of knowing.
BTW, when did other protestors or rioters get away with beating a LEO to death on the steps of the US Capitol or anywhere else for that matter? Please be specific.
not false. so your request is denied.
Your inability to recognize that reality is on you.
LOL!
I always find it so amusing when you say ignorant things like that!
Got any more "gems" to share with me?
Tactically speaking ( which I have been loath to do )
You keep making the same lame arguments.
When a few dozen police carrying maybe one thousand rounds of hand gun ammo
and facing ten thousand hostile ( fill in the blank ) with blunt instruments, tasers, riot shields and unknown weapons,
you are not ( should not ) going to shoot until reinforcements arrive with more fire power and methods of distribution.
Personally, I think it should have stopped in the Statuary Gallery with orders to shoot every invading male in the balls
and kneecap every woman
which should have caused enough human compassion to attend to the wounded to end the utter madness of rebellion
Just my opinion...................
I have never seen a male shot in the groin let go of his package,
fearing the future or knowing the chances of bleeding to death
So your position is that police shouldn't have fired live ammunition into the crowd - not because it's wrong, but because they didn't have enough ammo to kill everybody?
You have a talent for twisting everyone's comments don't you?
No, reader, because they did not have enough ammo to control the situation. Shooting someone in the testicles, calves, feet or kneecaps is rarely fatal but usually stops the perps in their tracks and keeps their hands occupied
with something other than assault or vandalism or chanting "Hang Mike Pence".
Is that more clear for you?

Anyone who has ever actually shot a gun - or trained even a little to use it against a person - knows what a ridiculous and stupid suggestion that is. If you really think that choosing to shoot a person in small, specific parts of the body is a realistic goal for police, then you have been getting too much of your knowledge from TV and movies.
Not to mention the cavalier attitude about shooting anyone, whether it be to kill or merely maim.

Is that what this site has come to?
Look at what right wing politics has come to and tell me that a heavy handed response isn’t warranted:
So . . . just . . . "Open fire boys! And then we'll dance around the bodies!"?
So, rhetoric expressed previously justifies getting shot to death for walking through a door you're not supposed to walk through?
Walk through door / break in through window you broke ... tomato / tomahto.
What’s next? You going to claim it would only have been righteous if DC would only have adopted stand your ground laws?
I guess it's too bad they didn't shoot a bunch more, huh. They could have piled up the bodies as a barricade to keep the rest out. /s
Either they would have eventually rethought their bad decision, or they would have just kept leaping off the cliff like the lemmings they are. I’m guessing the latter. Video footage of the woman being wheeled out in a stretcher showed happy “protesters” not even concerned about what was being wheeled around them.
No, being part of a mob that has assaulted law enforcement and broke into the Capitol while a joint session of Congress and the VP are present with the intention of preventing a constitutionally mandated government function (at best) justifies getting shot. Fuck her.
It is. I mean holy shit, apparently it would be incredibly easy to wipe out an entire branch of government in one fell swoop. Apparently the capitol police will hold the door for you while you do it.
I'm pretty pissed that every single looter and rioter that broke into buildings, ether from the door or broken windows, for the past 8 months during rioting in blue cities, did not get a torso full of lead.
Are you now? Something tells me that the protests you are so mad about don’t have the same significance as a protest over blatantly false election allegations by nutjobs who think democrats eat babies and aliens walk among us.

Sure am.
If the left was wishing for bodies to pile up after the Capitol riot, I feel the same way about leftist Antifa and BLM getting the same treatment.
Don't cry about it now.
The more the better.
There's a video of her ranting while driving. Feel bad she died but she was a nut case
Ashli Babbitt, killed in Capitol, criticized politicians for ‘refusing to choose America’
I watched the video. I wonder what happened that day to get her so excited. It's lucky she didnt kill someone with her car that day.
She probably just got done listening to Rush Limbaugh or some other freak show right wing talking head or the tRumpTurd himself.
I doubt any members of Congress are thinking about their dumbass idea of social workers for the mentally ill committing crimes now.
All those domestic terrorists/tRump supporters at the Capitol Wednesday were all certainly mentally ill.
Holy crap, how embarrassing for humanity. Apparently she belonged in a mental hospital, but instead she was welcomed into the arms of a movement that is equally nuts.
Maybe mental instability is why she couldn't get past 14 years in the AF
Meh, fuck her, she asked for it when she decided to commit sedition. What I find to be REALLY funny is that Trump hasn't even mentioned her.
meh, without a boob job she was invisible to him.
He has yet to mention one word about the dead from the CV. He won't about her or those other morons who died also. He only likes nutjobs he fired up that don't die.
Good point. If she had killed a cop he would find an excuse for her. Because the cop killed her she is corpse non grata.
The only life that matters to Trump is his own, and maybe his favorite squeeze Ivanka. So naturally he would ignore the dead woman. After all....he likes women who don't get shot, so to him she is a loser and not worth thinking about.
Why would he as he has never once mentioned the CV dead who he was responsible for killing. He has referred to his followers as disgusting people and for once he was spot on.
