If you want to try your hand at over-running a government building, you have to expect that somebody will try and stop you. In a society with armed law enforcement, that means you accept the risk of getting shot. As tragic as any death is, they are extremely lucky it was only one today - it could've been a lot more - on both sides (protesters and LE). Four apparently , The lass that was shot and three from medical emergencies. Guessing that could be staff suffering heart attacks. In any way shape or form the whole thing is tragic and horrific.

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 6 hours ago, CJGJ said: Ashli Babbit identified as woman killed at DC protest in Capitol (nypost.com) The President Trump supporter killed in the Capitol building Wednesday is an Air Force vet from California who tweeted a day earlier how “nothing will stop us” and “the storm is here.” Ashli Babbit, who had 14 years in the service and did four tours of duty, was married and lived near San Diego, her husband Aaron told KUSI-TV. “I’m numb. I’m devastated. Nobody from DC notified my son and we found out on TV,” the husband’s mother, Robin Babbitt, told The Post, saying of her daughter-in-law, “She is a Trump supporter.” Everything is “pretty surreal,” added Aaron’s brother, Justin. “It’s hard, because we haven’t been officially notified.” The day before she was fatally shot — apparently by Capitol Police, Babbit tweeted, “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.” Babbit, who used the Twitter handle CommonAshSense, also retweeted Wednesday morning — a few hours ahead of her and other Trump supporters storming the Capitol — a “MUST BE DONE LIST before Congress meets today.” It included, “Mike Pence@vp @Mike_Pence must resign & thereafter be charged with TREASON,” and, “Chief Justice John Roberts must RESIGN.” I'd call her a terrorist.

Often it's more a feeling of relief and that the world is now a better place. But in the end this woman was a mere pawn, and she was duped into death for the cause of her manipulators.

SwindonJambo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I hope a way can be found of putting Trump in prison for the rest of his days. Not only would it be well deserved but it would send out the message loud and clear that any would be future successor planning the same approach will get the same. People are dead because of his behaviour, who would otherwise be alive and well. Utterly sick, worthless, despicable evil piece of shit and a waste of food, clothes, soap. Bog roll and oxygen. May he rot in hell, if there was such a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coup for a cult leader con man. Seen footage on CNN which was shot by ITV and was from inside the capitol building. The reporter asked several people why they were there and the reply was, pretty much to take back their country from the corrupt Government. Hold on I thought, isn't Trump the head of the Government, but I got the distinct impression that these people don't see Trump as part of the Government, they see him as Trump who is fighting against the Government, in other words they see Trump as being above the Government above the establishment, and that is a cult, and it's clear that many of his supporters see him as their cult leader.
