"Ashli Babbitt Memorial Stone"

Some TFG assholes tried to deliver and install a memorial stone at Arlington for Ashli Babbitt. I guess that these assholes are claiming that this traitor died "defending" our country.



These idiots misspelled one of the names of the traitors they wanted to honor

Kevin Greeson, a 55-year-old man from Athens, Alabama.

Posts circulating on Twitter and Facebook claim that Greeson suffered a heart attack after leaving a taser in his pants and accidentally triggering it when he was attempting to steal a portrait in the Capitol.

"He repeatedly tased himself in the scrotum until he suffered a fatal heart attack," wrote one Twitter user, whose post garnered more than 4,000 retweets and 15,000 likes.

Benjamin Phillips had a stroke while at the Capitol. https://www.mcall.com/2021/01/08/pennsylvania-man-among-the-dead-following-pro-trump-assault-on-capitol/?amp=1

Greeson was rumored to have tasered his balls but that turned out not to be true. He had been talking to his wife on the phone when he fell onto the sidewalk and died of a heart attack. This was confirmed by reporters. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/capitol-riot-taser-death/

Both Phillips and Greeson, who were in their 50s, were reported to have had hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and both men's deaths were determined to be from natural causes.

Roseanne Boyland's death was ruled an accident. The chief medical examiner's report said the cause of death of the 34-year-old Georgia native was acute amphetamine intoxication. https://www.newsweek.com/2-people-who-died-capitol-riot-died-natural-causes-medical-examiner-rules-1581804

These are the losers these fuckwits want in Arlington.

It seems to me that a fitting end to this stone would be to pluck it up with one of the Army's Skytrak 6000M extensible-boom forklifts, drive it to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, wait until there's no boats passing by then deposit it in the Potomac, never to be seen again.

Ashli Babbitt’s mother tried taking a memorial rock into Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day. 👀

Today isn’t about domestic terrorists, it’s about those who gave their lives for our country.

I’m glad they turned her away, they probably would have tried dumping the rock off somewhere on the property.

It’s sad she lost her daughter, but it’s more sad that she can’t accept accountability on her daughter’s behalf.
