A computer programmer who founded a social media website for supporters of President Donald Trump and an Alabama man who posted online “Load your guns and take to the streets!” were among the four who died when a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Full 300-word excerpt:
Another victim was Ashli Babbitt, 35, who was fatally shot by Capitol Police during the Wednesday incursion by rioters who demanded Congress reject the presidential election results. An ardent Trump supporter, Babbitt followed and promoted many well-known radical conservative activists and conspiracy theories.
The others, Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama; Benjamin Philips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania; and Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgias—died of medical emergencies, Washington, D.C., police said Thursday.
Greeson had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a heart attack, his family said, and is survived by his wife, Kristi, and children.
“Kevin was an advocate of President Trump and attended the event on January 6, 2020 to show his support,” the family said in a statement. “He was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions.”
Greeson appeared to be active on Parler, the “Twitter for conservatives,” where an account with his name and picture lodged threats against Democrat and Republican politicians who Greeson said did not sufficiently support Trump.
Responding to a post that floated the “militia option” to keep Trump in office, Greeson wrote, “I’m in.. call me I have guns and ammo!” He interacted with posts from the far-right Proud Boys, telling them to give Antifa “hell.”
Greeson also said he hoped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would get Covid-19 and die, and on Dec. 17 wrote, “Let’s take this f——— Country BACK!! Load your guns and take to the streets!”
Kristi Greeson would not confirm whether the account belonged to her husband]
NBC should just say what they really think in one sentence.
This is quite a stretch to attribute “Load your guns” gun talk to the legitimate 2nd Amendment concerns that is universal among the MAGA crowd. Of course, the Marxist Media wants law abiding Americans to give up their guns while the drug runners shoot ‘em up like rabid dogs in the streets. Drugs are more important than our 2nd Amendment rights.

Mr. Philips appears to have been married previously, and had children with an Oriental woman, so it’s gonna be hard to call him a white supremacist.

Unless he was armed and carrying lots of ammo when he fell, hard to see how any of this was evidence of much except a tendency towards cathartic verbiage.
RIP Patriots. It’s irritating how the msm and supporters are referring to their deaths as a consequence of the event. Like, look how awful it was....4 people died. No, one person was killed by a LEO.
The other 3 should not be included to make that point.

Five people in one day at one protest:
* Ashli Babbett, 35 - shot by police
* Benjamin Phillips, 50 - stroke
* Rosanne Boyland, 34 - collapsed, cause not determined
* Kevin Greeson, 55 - heart attack
* Officer Brian Sicknick, 42 - injuries? (to be investigated)
Five more COVID cases... will we ever get past this plague?
Expect these non-stop attacks on Parler in an effort to shut down any alternative social media outlets other than the Goebbels Controlled ones like Tweeter.
NBC - Nothing But Crap. Explains the leftist bias and smear tactics.
“The other 3 should not be included to make that point.”
I agree. They publish this sort of information because they know that casual readers skimming the article will take away the notion that they were all killed by protesters.
The DC atrocities! Crimes against humanity. It’s becoming laughable.
