They should have lit up the first ones to breach the building. They will next time.

needed to shoot anyone, but there would have never been a more justified shooting, even if he was just pissed and didn't want to let them chase him any more. He knew they were racist shitstains. It is greatly to his credit he didn't open fire.

She was breaking and entering, so it looks to me like they shot her in self defense. At least that's what they'd be claiming if she were "Antifa" or a "BLM" member or a commie, leftist pinko that was doing the rioting.

I hope Mike Pence and his family have good security. These people are nuts.

The shooter was wearing a suit. I thought it was said they were defending the hallway where Pence had been taken.

In the end, he did his job. Ashli got what she deserved.
