Default The female rioter who was shot...


A woman shot and killed by police during the storming of the US Capitol
by a pro-Donald Trump mob has been named as a 14-year veteran of the US
air force and of four foreign military tours, including to Iraq and
Afghanistan.

Ashli Babbitt, 35, had travelled to Washington DC from San Diego, her
husband told the local news station KUSI, adding that she was a
passionate Trump supporter.

Three other people died from “medical emergencies” during Wednesday’s
siege of the Capitol, according to the Washington DC police chief,
Robert Contee.

Contee has confirmed to reporters a woman was shot by Capitol police – a
federal law enforcement agency responsible for protecting the US
Congress – but has not released further details.

Less than a day before she joined the Trump loyalist protest, Babbitt,
an avowed and public Trump supporter as well as a subscriber to a number
of alt-right conspiracy theories, had vowed the insurrectionist movement
could never be halted. “Nothing will stop us … they can try and try and
try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24
hours … dark to light!” she wrote on Twitter.

***Babbitt, 35, was reportedly shot as she and other rioters tried to
break through a barricaded door in the building where Capitol police
officers were armed on the other side.***

On video footage circulating on social media, a single gunshot is heard
during an attempt to storm the barricaded door. Other footage shows
police attempting to perform emergency first aid on a woman lying on the
floor bleeding.

Babbitt was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound but later pronounced
dead.

On Twitter, Babbitt described herself as a veteran and a *libertarian.*
Her social media account is filled with declarations of support for
Trump and condemnation of November’s presidential election, which Trump
lost.

She also retailed many of the conspiracy theories shared by alt-right
groups, including one about a vast network of high-profile and powerful
paedophiles. Babbitt regularly retweeted controversial lawyer and
conspiracy theorist Lin Wood, a high-profile Trump supporter who has
litigated several of the president’s failed lawsuits contesting the
election result.

She was a *libertarian* and Trump supporter. What a combination.

George Floyd and Trayvonn Martin. They needed killing too.

The guard was hired to protect government property and members of
congress. He was issued a firearm to enforce that. No threat to his
own life was required to justify deadly force. It's a similar
situation to an armed guard anywhere.

No they were actually attacking and fighting with the cops.

If you want to talk about breaking into federal buildings, arson and
murder we have to look at your BLM people.

You better read up on the justified use of force again before you walk
out the door with your gun.
There are cops going to jail for shooting people trying to protect
property. The cops have the same obligation to demonstrate an imminent
fear for their life as you do.
In fact, in DC, the cops have about the same "stand your ground"
protection as we do as civilians in Florida. You don't have to retreat
but you can't shoot until you are ready to demonstrate that imminent
fear. Civilians there have the obligation of retreat.

Meanwhile the liberal MSM is now airing stories saying that the reaction to white people "storming" the Capital is mild compared to what would have happened of black people would have done the same. How quickly they (and the liberal MSM) forget what played out in Portland and across the nation just a few months ago. As Greg points out, the black folks were given a pass to destroy anything they wanted.

News reports stated the woman was part of a crowd using stanchions and
flag pole holders to bust through glass doors and windows to gain
entrance to other parts of the Capitol. She got shot in the act of doing
that. She wasn't on a street corner selling loose cigarettes.
