(9,895 posts)Ashli Babbit got exactly what she deserved. The rest of that mob should have been fired on and repelled instead of allowing them to attack the Capitol Police and ransack the building itself.
Fuck her. The only thing that should have happened differently? There should have been hundreds of bodies lined up next to her after being shot too.
I've been saying that since Jan, 6.

(8,317 posts)The Former President and Members of Congress are trying to out him. Once they do, he will live the rest of his life under the threat of violence. They are painting a target on his back.
He made a very difficult decision to take a life. It is not an easy decision but he took an oath and part of his responsibility under that oath was to protect Members of Congress.
The Members of Congress were clearly in harms way and he acted to protect them. He now has to live with the consequences of his action. He has to live with the taking of a human life. Please say a prayer, send good karma or Juju, spare a thought. He is living under a lot of pressure.
It is not an easy decision to take a life even when you are justified in doing it.

Corrected: Ms. Babbit was killed by an officer during the failed coup attempt led by the disgraced, one-term banned twitter user, donald trump.

(8,317 posts)Corrected: Ms. Babbit, a domestic terrorist with military training, was killed by an officer while protecting Members of Congress during the violent failed coup attempt planned and financed by the disgraced, one-term banned twitter user, donald trump. He was too cowardly to actually lead his followers as he said he would, he just sent his mob off to do his dirty work.

.................We know who he is, he said. If that happened to the other side, there would be riots all over America and yet, there are far more people represented by Ashli, who truly loved America, than there are on the other side. The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!
The former presidents words come as Ms Babbitts family plans to seek a $10m wrongful death lawsuit against the officer who killed her. The lawyer for the family, Terry Roberts, said she was ambushed by the officer, who warned her to stay back.
Similarly, Ms Babbitts husband has called on the officer to be named.
Mr Trump has frequently begun invoking Ms Babbitts name. He has falsely said the officer who shot her was the head of security for a top Democrat, and said he regretted not lowering the flag half-staff for Ms Babbitt.
