    people were shouting that guns were drawn but she still had to go forth. maybe she was deaf and didn’t hear the warnings that are clearly audible in the video.

    Hanging is a bit old fashioned. Firing squad is better - although either will send the proper message to would be civil disobedients in the future.

    Hmmm. Nope. Was not quoting Trump even remotely. Has he made such a claim?

    Whomever shot her, for our purposes does not matter. A drawn weapon and a forceful "FREEZE OR I WILL SHOOT" would have likely stopped her in her tracks. Unfortunately, we will never know because that warning was not given.

    If it was a cop, to me that makes it all the more inexcusable. I fail to see how that changes anything.

    We already know what the difference is. Ron Johnson said what many of them were thinking. It wasn't that nobody was scared. It's them back-pedaling and reinventing history to downplay what happened solely based on the race of the majority of rioters that day.

    It's really bizarre to watch people twist themselves into pretzels to deny racism but justify the double-standards that are used to "protect" white people for things that they would yell "throw the book at them!" if the perpetrators were non-white.


    Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin

    Republican senator says he would’ve been afraid had Capitol rioters been BLM activists

    Your excuse for state sponsored violence is sad.
    Maybe you should get yourself a matching costume, and go marching with the rest of the jackboots.

    Which was nothing akin to rational reasoning. Good luck with that.

    You’re most certainly entitled to your opinion, no matter how revolting it is. Enjoy the rest of your day.

    I don't need an opinion. I saw it live. It's on video. It was a violent mob.

    Is it your "opinion" that they were peaceful people taking a tour?

    The insurrection was revolting. The cop did his duty.

    During an interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, Mr Trump called Babbitt an “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman”.

    “Who shot Ashli Babbitt? Why are they keeping that secret?” Mr Trump asked.

    "I will tell you they know who shot Ashli Babbitt. They’re protecting that person," he replied. "I’ve heard also that it was the head of security for a certain high official — a Democrat — and we’ll see, because it’s going to come out. It’s going to come out," Mr Trump said.

    The former president attempted to invoke Babbitt, a California-based Air Force veteran, as a martyr. “Who shot Ashli Babbitt?” has emerged as a rallying cry among some congressional Republicans. Source
    At this point dude, you are just digging a hole. Just stop.

    I've seen all the publicly available videos, and only sheeple believe what you are spouting.

    Exactly!

    As I've said before, most of these mouthpieces couldn't sell parkas to Inuits if their life depended on it, yet they expect us to not believe our eyes and ears? Geeezus, this desperation is pathetic and juvenile.

    Sorry folks... Ashli Babbitt was an unarmed, defenseless ,14-year veteran, who served four tours with the US Air Force from San Diego, 35 years of age. She did not deserve to be killed when non lethal options were available (see below)... spin it anyway you want.... there is rumblings officer Lt. Michael Byrd was the one who shot her... she had the right NOT to be shot by by anyone.... even if some folks want to spin it that way...

    This incident should never have been allowed to happen...The Capitol police answer to Congress... that is Pelosi, Chuck, and Turtleneck... They were forewarned.... Trump offered guards ahead of time.... The CP had enough manpower to deal with this crowd... Pelosi and her ilk have the blood of Ashli on their hands... not Trump.... the investigation into Jan 6 should start with what Pelosi, the FBI, and CP knew and when they knew it and why the CP was undersized

    the Inspector general's report

    It might have started out as a peaceful protest, but that soon changed with the actions of Trump. Not do I endorse their riot on the capital grounds. As I have stated five hundred times already, these people let their irrational fears be exploited by Trump. Their lack of sound judgment also played right into the hands of those in positions of power, who share the same authoritarian views as you do.

    I'm not authoritarian. The mob was. You're all mixed up.

    The left apparently keeps arguing that unarmed white women deserve to be murdered.

    I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Violence by the state is authoritarian to its very core. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

    The Republicans are the ones who don't even want to increase the Capitol Police budget.

    Nice try at deflection, comrade.... The Capitol police have plenty of manpower now.... they are actually starting some satellite branch's in California and one other place ...wow think about that, Capitol Police outside of Washington... money is not their problem at all... the dereliction of duty of those above was the problem that day.... when did Pelosi know and what did she know.... boy if we had a special counsel looking into the upper level involvement and hold those folks accountable... and house members "in the know" are questioning Pelosi's involvement in stifling the Capitol Police response..
