Yep, my fingers got ahead of my brain.
Sometimes I think they’re the larger of the two.

But I can’t help but wonder, why deadly force right off the bat? She didn’t brandish a weapon. She wasn’t very big. She was about to land on a pile of chairs. He could have called for backup, or even for help. I wonder if he was even seen from the other side of the glass. Don’t they have Tasers, rubber bullets, rock salt for this kind of thing?

LOL have you ever heard such a load of horseshit in your life? The guy pointed a gun for at least several seconds at Babbit, clearly long enough to identify that she was a woman, and of fairly unimpressive stature, and unarmed. He then finally fires the gun. How in the f**k is that any kind of heroism? Even if I were to accept that it had to be done (which I don't) there certainly was no heroism involved. This statement is obvious propaganda-level hyperbole.

OK, but here is a FReeper who says he was there and personally witnessed Ashli on a stretcher with blood gushing out her neck.

CORRECTION: Here is a Freeper (aka anonymous internet guy) who says he was there and personally witnessed Ashli on a stretcher with a red fluid gushing from the area of her neck.

Now, if the idea (what you would probably call a "conspiracy theory") that this was all a staged event were true, then it would be the easiest thing in the world to arrange the appearance of heavy bleeding. So, we can either give greater weight to the anonymous internet guy who claims he saw some stuff, or we can give greater weight to the video that we can watch with our own eyes that shows little to no blood coming from Babbit for minutes after the gunshot. Neither is foolproof, of course. Decisions, decisions.

The CIA did it and they have or will blame a capitol police person.

Either that, or the CIA did it.

One of the things that puts the Ashli scenario in doubt was the angle of the gun. It was virtually parallel to the ground when the muzzle flashed. There’s no way Ashli would have been hit in the neck. And if she was hit in the chest, why was the “paramedic” performing chest compressions. And there was absolutely no blood on her torso (or prosthetic.)

Prior to seeing that video, I believed Ashli to be an independently motivated Trump supporter. But now things seem very strange. Why was she not with fellow Trump supporters? Why was she taking direction from the bozos faking the glass break in? And why was her hair down? What military woman would engage with her down?

Something’s not right.

And why didn’t she fall forward given her mass was on the far side of the doorway?

They didn’t commit suicide, the government offed them.

Yes, that’s possible it was all a sham.

“No other rioter followed after her.”

False. Just watch the video. People walked around the fallen Babbitt after she was shot. The shooting was unethical and cowardly.

There are numerous exemptions to FOIA, a number of which would be invoked by the government here.

Added Schamel: "There should be a training video on how he handled that situation. What he did was unbelievable heroism." 'He Stopped a Potential Massacre'

What disgusting, incredible immorality. There was no reason to murder an unarmed, easy to arrest small woman climbing through a window attacking no one. There were cops all over the place. There was no need for this man to deliver a kill shot. And it sets a horrifying precedent where cops can deliberately kill even when they are not being attacked or threatened.

And the laughable claim about a potential massacre that a bunch of unarmed protestors were supposedly going to commit is insane North Korea style propaganda used solely as an excuse to oppress political opposition and get his client off.

One of the recent stories about her mentioned That she had requested Leave to go to Mexico for that week. Haven’t heard anything since.

That lead me to thinking back to my Active Nat’l Guard days, and how much like being active duty it was. And I thought “Oh, Oh, she’s gonna be in trouble if she survives and gets home.” But she has dropped out of sight since then and we all wonder what happened to her for real.

My comment wasn’t directed at you. It was an explanation of why we don’t know who shot her.

Three questions if I may?

1. I watched the videos of the shooting and his/her face was covered along with dark glasses. Was he/she even a member of the capital police?

2. How did he/she get out of there with all the capital police right there, carrying automatic weapons, if he/she shot someone? I think that’s called a detainment and at the least a relieving of weapon and duty for a board.

3. If he/she shot an insurgent obviously protecting the capital and the people in it like Pelosi, why isn’t he/she getting a tickertape parade as a hero?

Am I missing something?
