Saying she was shot for protesting is like saying Charles Manson got the death sentence for being a hippie.
.

She was unarmed and posed no physical threat to anyone.

There are states where you can be arrested for shooting someone breaking and entering your home.

And again, why was she singled out to kill when everyone else around her was not?

Personally, I think the Capitol cop panicked and pulled the trigger when he shouldn't have.

Interesting that they fired into the crowd when their own guys were amongst the targets. Notably most were casually walking down the stairs under no threat and not at all rushed.

You are exactly right. See we can still agree on occasion.

ashli was, by far, NOT the first person who entered.
why was she alone shot, out of all the other potential targets? she was clearly unarmed.
i could have sworn leftists here used to say that shooting unarmed people was a bad thing..

Yeah I would shoot as many of them as I could.

Were you thinking that was a valid comparison to this situation??

I agree with you. And I don't understand why there isn't more outrage. (Actually, that's not true - I know why there isn't any outrage from the left.)

The lunatic left needs to be more consistent - if you're outraged about the death of Daunte Wright, you should be just as outraged about the death of Ashli Babbitt.

I would assume you also agree that Daunte got shot because he was an idiot as well.

I believe you are correct.

Kind of, yes. He was a fleeing criminal. She was a rioter breaking and entering. Both didn't deserve to die. Both were wrong for putting the police in that situation.

So who is more at fault here?

I'm not even sure how this officer's name can be kept quiet. You would think someone would leak it, considering how privacy is pretty much non-existent these days.
