Breaking 1-06-21: MAGA terrorist attack on Capitol

Incorrect, Babbit was shot while trying to overthrow the United States Government.

 

Those two situations aren't close at all. Justine Damond called 911 to report a possible assault and then walked out of her house to meet the police officers that responded to the call.

Ashli Babbit was illegally entering the capitol and ignoring calls and warnings to leave. She had already broken the law at this point and multiple capitol police officers had been attacked already.

Other than both of them being shot through windows, the two are nothing alike.

 

She was one of those totally unarmed, no acts of violence revolutionaries.

Those differences would be a good reason to arrest one for trespassing and not the other. What those differences don't do is justify the shooting, because both represented the same imminent threat of death or great bodily injury (none). At least Officer Noor had the excuse that he was startled. Byrd watched Babbit slowly climbing through a window before executing her.

 

In the interest of not getting angry about this (because I lived minutes from Justine Damond and that death really shook the community), let me just conclude by stating that its telling that you somehow have more sympathy for Ashli Babbit than Justine Damond.

 

I have sympathy for both. That is exactly the point. Both of them were needlessly shot while not representing an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury.

 

He is just trolling, don't get sucked.

Just smile and nod your head.

 

Babbit is a insurrectionist. She was with the violent mob regardless if shes unarmed. Police aren't gonna pick and choose who they don't fire upon, especially those who breach the perimeter.

If a group of folks treprass/broke into your house, u aren't gonna fking wait to see if the person is armed before shooting to kill.

She treprassed and was involved with a violent group during a riot, shooting was justified.

 

He is just trying to get somebody to engage by saying stuff he knows to not be true.

Very telling indeed.

 

So breaking through a glass door while being a part of an angry mob who have brutalized other officers is not an imminent threat?

You have stopped even trying to make sense anymore.

Up your game my guy.

 

Not always perfect but most legal experts agree with the ruling. There were also several mistakes in the cases you cite. There were very few in Chauvin’s trial.

Justine Damond was alone outside her house. Babbitt was part of a mob that was already fighting with LEO and was with a group that was attempting to batter down a door in the Capitol. The context are absolutely different.

 

**** around, find out.

She was a terrorist, she got shot.

 

Also to add that while Babbitt was unarmed there were others on that mob that were. She was the first one through the window but there were others following. Given the LEO’s charge is to protect the Capitol if he just allows her to come in that means Others will follow. She’s the proverbial “foot in the door” at that point.

 

They absolutely did pick and choose who they fired upon. They only fired upon her. Not the people actually fighting with police. Not the ones actually closest to legislators. Only one cop felt it was necessary to shoot anyone, and it was the one that previously left his duty weapon in a public bathroom. Only one person was so dangerous that they needed to be shot, and it was the unarmed tiny woman that was climbing through a window 10 feet from a SWAT team that didn't think she was dangerous enough to even grab hold of her.

 

He fired onto the first person who broke the perimeter, entered first. That's not pick and choosing. The first person who enters takes the risk of being hit/fired upon. She knew the risk when she wanted to enter first.

 

Poor freedom fighter

 

instead of storming the Capitol and fighting to steal an election, he’ll be storming the commissary and fighting to protect his booty

thoughts and prayers

 

Why are y’all allowing yourselves to get sucked into a clear troll job? Now we’ve got pages arguing over the justified shooting of a mindless drone.

they all got off easy…cops will let off shots if u just scratch them, but had none of that energy for all these losers

it’s ridiculous that only 1 of them got shot

 

thoughts and prayers............and don't drop the soap

 

How many of the hearings and testimonies have you actually watched? Tomorrow is your last chance to hear some truth about that horrible day. These guys had evil intentions, and anyone joining them becomes part of the radical and deadly insurrection.
