your lies and lame excuses....

So says JPPs foremost Satanist and faux Xtian. LOL

[Jarod]

your lies and lame excuses for murder are stale......if there was really a single person there who believed anyone intended to kill Pence or anyone else it may have been this officer, but his ignorance is not a defense against a murder charge.....

Actually a reasonable belief you are protecting someone from great bodily harm is a defense.

[Doc Dutch]

you don't care that Jarod is lying........

Since you don't care the former president is the biggest fucking liar elected to the WH why do you think anyone should care about lil' ol' Jarod?

Agreed. It's already been noted that the position of the shooting was a final barrier to Congressional reps. Who those reps are remains unknown, but it would surprise me if it was McCarthy back there screaming on his phone to Trump.

The embarrassment of Babbitt being shot to protect him would be a main reason to be against an investigation. I love irony.

Hello 50USA,

It is amusing that young Trump wanted to be in Manhattan when his father was content to be an outsider. And now he has made such a mess of things he can no longer make Manhattan his home and is instead relegated to being an outsider from Florida / New Jersey

Very true!

I think it would have been very easy for that officer to have been equipped with devices that could have held her back in a non-lethal way.

Hello 50USA,

It used to be that everyone got their news from the same sources. That was when Trump supporters most commonly believe America 'was' great. The news sources built a solid reputation as being reliable most of the time. As soon as news became tailored to please specific audiences, the story lines diverged. Now, the news is personalized to the point that each individual can be told only what he/she wishes to believe based on past viewing habits. We can no longer agree on the facts, so we are bitterly divided.

Hopefully, people will become more aware of how this dynamic works to divide us, learn to overcome it, and realize that we are all really in this together.

I don't think Trump supporters are intelligent enough to know that we are in this together. They prefer being separate because most of them are racists.

a fake virus... too fucking funny how these libtards fall for everything

Amazing how a fake virus has killed over 600,000 people.

That describes the poorly informed. Hillary got it right when she said about half of his supporters could be placed in a 'basket of deplorables.'

The other half are smart enough to know better, but for various reasons they choose to vote for him anyway. Often the reason is greed of believing they will become richer under Trump than any Democrat. And frequently the reason is simply not being well informed and going along with the crowd rumor mills.

While non-lethal is great, obviously it had been used with ZERO effect up to the point the Insurrectionists were poised to breach the final barrier between violent insurrectionists, including Babbitt, and Congressional reps.

At that point, there was little left to do except shoot whoever came through the breach. Had anyone followed Babbitt, I suspect they'd have been shot too due to the criticality of the situation.

1:11 p.m.: Trump ends his speech by urging his followers to march down Pennsylvania Avenue: “We fight like hell. If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore… Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun… We’re going to the Capitol. We’re going to try and give them [Republicans] the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

(DoD Memo) 1:26 p.m.: The Capitol Police orders the evacuation of the Capitol complex.

2:11 p.m.: Trump’s mob breaches the Capitol building – breaking windows, climbing inside, and opening doors for others to follow.

Babbitt, a 35-year-old California native, and more than a dozen others appeared to be trying to get into the Speaker’s Lobby, a hallway that would have given them access to the House of Representatives chamber...A second clip, recorded approximately three minutes before the shooting, appears to show lawmakers and officials in the Speaker’s Lobby, just yards from Babbitt and others trying to get through. Rep. James P. McGovern (D-Mass.), the chairman of the House Rules Committee, was one of those present, a spokesperson confirmed....

shot by a trigger happy security guard for no reason other than his uncontrolled panic........

Trigger happy. One fucking shot after giving a loud and clear warning. You do not attempt to make sense.

Like a door? Like lots of cops defending the opening? The normal methods did not work.

if he gave a loud and clear warning, why isn't it on any of the videos?......

I saw it on vids. I forget, the altered ones are selected for you. It was a bit noisy too. She was helping bust down a door that was helping protect our politicians. That is harmless when rightys do it, A crime deserving death if a left did anything like that.
