I have never seen anyone take so much joy from the pain and suffering

A fine democrat you are.

He's a piece of **** human being.

He seemed to derive a lot of pleasure out of an unarmed female
trespasser being shot too.


The woman in question was part of an out-of-control mob that forcefully
invaded a building that is pretty close to sacred in this country, the
very seat of our democracy. At least some in the mob were intent on
capturing and perhaps killing elected officials and staff members, and
some were chanting for the vice president's head. She was part of a
group that was busting through the doors to one of the building's inner
chambers, and there were armed guards on the other side with pistols
drawn. This at the behest of the current president of the United States.
Had she remained outside the Capitol building, she could have
demonstrated as loudly and obnoxiously as she wanted. Instead, she made
a different choice.

Yeah that sounds like a reason to murder her.

If this is OK STFU about Michael Brown, Trayvonn Martin, George Floyd
and Freddie Gray. You can't have it both ways.


You'll have to refresh my memory. When did Brown, Martin, Floyd, and
Gray, separately or in a group, storm a nearly sacred federal building
as an act of insurrection, and be part of a gang intent on capturing and
killing elected officials, including the vice president, all while being
urged on by the POTUS and Republican U.S. Senators and Congressmen?

Yeah, I think if you storm a federal building intent on
insurrection/sedition, with the idea of killing elected officials, and
you bust throuh an interior door/window guarded on the other side with
cops with guns pointed at you, you probably are going to get shot.


You are missing the point about the use of deadly force in this
country. Maybe you are still living in the 30s when cops could just
assassinate criminals because they were cops but now they are required
to demonstrate the same "imminent threat" as you are.

The bottom line is when this woman was shot, her only real crime was
unauthorized entry into a federal building and stuck in that window
she was no actual threat to anyone's life. She was a fish shot in a
barrel.
When this is all over I expect some Ben Crump sort of guy to be filing
a wrongful death suit and demanding that the cop be held accountable.

Oh wait, she was white. Nobody gives a ****.


The insurrectionists were engaged in a coup, had weapons, were going to
capture members of Congress, threatened to hang the Veep, and more. The
woman was hanging out with the wrong group.


It is funny how quickly this became insurrection. They didn't even
sling that term around when your hippie buddies invaded the Pentagon.
What about trying to burn down the federal court house in Portland.
Was that insurrection too?

I am OK with that but we should be looking at the same level of
prosecutions.

As for the woman who was shot, would you feel the same if she was
black? The BLM people certainly wouldn't.
The Babbitts have 2 years to file their wrongful death suit and
forever to seek a murder charge.
"Murder still be Murder" - Bunk Moreland.

BTW they used the "hang the veep" line long after the protest was over
and the woman was shot. None of the people near the woman had weapons.
Those people were not in the Capitol. Try to get your bull****
straight.
