If they are in the process of breaking into a building? Yes. If they are behaving as the jan 6 thugs were? Already broke into the building, smashing and destroying as they went? Yes. How much warning is required when it's the freaking Capitol Building of the United States of America? Most rational people would assume that breaking into the building would result in bullets flying. Then again rational people would realize that breaking into any building might result in bullets flying.

Now be honest. If it were the Racist BLM thugs on Jan 6th who rioted and desecrated our Capitol and one were shot you would be ok with it.

The only difference between the DC scum and the scum in Portland and so many other places is the location of their riot.
Yep. It's not a left or right thing. People doing stupid things today probably have a history of doing stupid things before. People with poor impulse control and poor decision making skills are drawn to these extremist groups like moths to a flame.

We’ve certainly seen that for the last 4+ years. Need more folks like Kyle Rittenhouse.

If they’re looting, burning it down, breaking into someone’s house, etc..., absolutely.

Harassing someone in a restaurant is in no way comparable to people smashing into the Capitol, speaking of their hopes of killing people - and I suspect would have indeed murdered people if they hadn't been whisked to safety.
Oh come on now who is splitting hairs here. I never compared the harassment of people in a restaurant to riots, I compared it to the acts off honest and honorable people.

Stop making excuses for the racist BLM mobs. Mobs tend to get out of hand? Will you allow the same excuse for the Jan 6 thugs? No? Then dont apply it to the racist BLM mobs. Be honest BLM mobs have done billions of dollars in damage and continue to do so. At some point you have to accept that it isn t a coincidence but part of the objective. Most BLM protestors ? That same argument can be used for the Jan 6th scum. Most didnt bring guns, bombs, or weapons of any kind. Some did. Most got carried away along with the crowd. Too bad, they still did it and the same is true of the racist BLM and Antifa thugs. Stop making excuses for them. That empowers them as we have seen to do more and to do worse.

More gun toting hotheads willing to cross state lines looking for vigilante action in neighboring communities? No we certainly don’t need more of that.

She had to be, to keep the murderous mob coming in with her from killing our nation's leaders, who were still not secured at the moment she and hundreds behind her were trying to break the window and breech the security.

Had she not been shot breaking into the Capitol by force, God knows how many of our nationally elected leaders would have been killed. There was a murderous mob, and she was at the forefront kicking down the windows and leading them in.

Nah, just more gun toting folks protecting themselves and property. Watching the thugs that were chasing, hitting him with the skateboard, and shooting at him drop and cry for the police made for great tv, lol.

There have been many who broke into the WH and other buildings who were taken, often wrestled to the ground, without being shot down in cold blood.

Says who? You? No, I don't cheer needless deaths, unlike some others.

No need for people to defend their lives?
