Regarding Ashli Babbitt breaking into the Capitol

[ALBliberal]

and getting shot and killed. I keep thinking of the many many stories of gun owners shooting and killing people on their property maybe in their yards maybe in their homes and one of the defenses is the “castle” defense. People have the right to defend their property. It’s always like this with Republicans. What’s good for the goose is never good for the gander with them. So they are all up in arms over this woman being shot and killed who was among armed insurrections crawling through a broken window to attack OUR castle. I just can’t with them.

1. Frankly, every person who forcibly entered the Capitol, or attempted to, could have been shot

and it would have been justified. They were attempting to overthrow our lawfully elected government.

3. Bottom line......

you are SO right! Imagine if the situation had been reversed....... a Democrat inciting......nah, never happen!!!!

[RVN VET71]

10. Imagine if it had been a BLM rally gone rogue

and MS Babbitt had been African American.

14. Before naming him, the right wingers were intimating it would be a racial thing.

Before naming him, the right wingers were intimating it would be a racial thing.

How is that working out on the extreme right?

5. Should have!

[unblock]

2. The only "principle" involved here is that she was one of them

That's all they care about. If a black person had been shot by capitol police the previous day, minding their own business, eating a snickers bar, they would have said hey the wrapper looked like a gun and police is a dangerous job and he should have followed instructions better and whatever.

But this one was one of theirs so suddenly none of the usually pro-police arguments apply.

4. MAGAts saw the Capitol as THEIR property

Some even said as much. Following that line of ‘reasoning,’ the Capitol Police officer was an interloper.

12. Their mob buildup::: Whose House? - Our House!... Whose House? - Our House!.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

6. Maybe he was in fear of his/their lives

Or thought he saw a gun

[Tarc]

7. She fucked around, and found out

She even had a good 30 secs or so, as she bled out, to contemplate the questionable life choices that led her to that moment, and maybe wonder if they were the right choices.

I have no sympathy whatsoever.

[Gore1FL]

8. Fuck Ashli Babbitt

She was once a patriot. She ceased to be a patriot. She was shot while committing crimes against the United States.

She is trash. Those who support her are trash.

9. she stuck her nose in the wrong spot at the wrong time ! learn the hard way !!

NO SYMPATHY FOR STUPID PEOPLE !

11. They want to present a fallacy that "he shot an unarmed woman". It wasn't about "unarmed".

If he hadn't fired when he did that mob was going to break through. He did his job and ended that threat. I counted about 12 seconds in the video that he had his weapon drawn and pointed and was warning them.

It's nothing but ridiculous partisan whining. Babbitt is a victim of her own out of control stupidity.

[keithbvadu2]

17. The mob was 'armed'.

The mob was 'armed'.

While not carrying guns, they were armed with clubs and flagpoles as spears.

[GoodRaisin]

18. And if they had gotten through that door

things would have gotten even uglier for our congress members. That officer protected them like he supposed to do.

Their argument about being "unarmed" is laughable.

[mopinko]

19. among other things. bear spray, wasp spray

yeah, they were plenty armed.

[kairos12]

13. She should have complied. But terrorists don't.

[Sogo]

15. ....not to mention all the "stand your ground" claims.

She was behaving in a threatening manner. That drew a response.

[czarjak]

16. I regret she only had one life to give to Trump. Should have been all y'all rubes.
