Who shot Ashli Babbitt ?

[chipbennett]

It appears that the LEO that shot Ms. Babbitt is going to walk; but I suspect pretty much everybody knew this already. Despite people being upset, Ms. Babbitt's death was her own fault.

Charges unlikely in Capitol shooting death of San Diego woman

Criminal charges are unlikely to be filed against a U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who killed Ashli Babbitt, a San Diego woman and Trump supporter who stormed the Capitol last month.

This is why I've largely stayed out of this and related discussions.

Her death may be tragic, but it is entirely her own fault. I fail to see how it doesn't fall under, "stupid places, stupid times, stupid things", and "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Now, I may be less-bothered by private citizens "storming" the Capitol building (assuming actions are otherwise lawful - not stealing stuff, assaulting LEO, etc.), and I may think that views on such actions are fairly hypocritical (see: Handmaid's Tale cosplayers, Occupy miscreants, CHAZ, etc.). But in her case, she tried breaking into the Capitol by crawling through a broken window in a closed/locked door, while LEO had guns drawn. What would anyone expect would happen in those circumstances? (What if that door/window had been an entrance to someone's house, instead of the Capitol?)

Am I supposed to go loot a target now and get a big flat screen for the big game?

Maybe I can burn a local business as a bonus.

I still need a waffle maker.

I'll see what I can do, bro.

**** is free... because it is insured you know.

Yeah, I have some commercial property and a business and earlier this year when things were heating up, I looked into it and my policies did not cover acts of war, terrorism, riots, and a couple few other things. I could buy coverage for that but seeing as places were getting burned kind of frequently at that point, it would have been cost prohibitive. Some places, like Target may very well be insured for this kind of stuff, but most of the little guys are not.

I would appreciate a waffle maker, stainless if you can. Lousy Santa is just not as reliable as he used to be.

Nah, you seen law-abiding. You might want to contract that out to BLM.

I think if your commercial property is occupied, and those breaking in, are part of a group that have indicated an intent to do harm to someone within that property, you’re GTG. I certainly would vote to acquit you.

Can you show us the "secret" handshake? Asking for a friend.

Sounds like you need to be a roof Korean...or rent some.

Now do George Floyd and Michael Brown

Now do George Floyd and Michael Brown

Sure, start a thread in which those persons are the subject, and then ask the question again

Are we painting her name or her cause on the streets of our cities? Is the NFL "saying her name", like they did that kid from Indy who livestreamed himself dying in a shootout with police?

The left martyrs their people even when they burn down buildings, shoot at cops, or murder rival protesters from ambush. The right disavows its dead even when they're unarmed mostly peaceful protesters gunned down for no good reason. If we're afraid to stand up for our dead activists, then we're going to be swallowed up by the left's revolution. We're just showing that we don't even believe in the morality of our own people and beliefs. When the left's people die in a shootout with police, they are CELEBRATED openly!

Ashli Babbitt did nothing that BLM's thugs haven't done all year long, and the right is disavowing her like some kind of terrorist. We all saw it clear as day on the video, those cops were so afraid of a little unarmed blond girl that they couldn't do anything but shoot.

We should be putting her name and face on billboards.

Because they (BLM) had the right idea? Be better than them.

Is that going to console you when you're living in BLM's America?

If we're not even willing to act like something is wrong when our own get gunned down for protesting, then it's already over. We've already surrendered. Their side can kill our side with impunity and our response is "well they probably deserved it". No political movement can survive when it won't even acknowledge it's own right to life.

 

[HoughMade]

No one who stormed the Capitol is "my own". It is a tragedy, but a 100% avoidable one.

This post is the epitome of identity politics - find a group you identify with, and stick with them no matter what; always defend their actions; justify everything.

Then figure out who the other side(s) is, and do everything you can to impugn them.

It's working pretty damn well for the other side. People who unite together will crush atomized individuals. They're stacking up wins left and right while we pout about how we're individuals who don't want to be part of the collective or associated with "those people". They talk "diversity of tactics" and stand behind even the most distasteful people in their ranks. The result is they win, all the time, and we lose, all the time, while they play us like a fiddle and manipulate us into disavowing our own beliefs and positions.

Thems just facts.

As opposed to supporting no one and nothing while always staking out some imaginary middle ground
