Let's offer an alternative view about the Babbitt shooting than the one presented by the poster Doug1943:
Babbitt was attacking officers on the other side of that door.
She participated with an armed mob to batter an opening into a barricade specifically erected to bar them.
Once a breach was effected she was warned to 'back off', to not enter, to leave.
Instead, she took it upon herself to charge towards those same officers who were warning her. And she did so knowing a police firearm was unholstered and brandished at the mob.
She was shrouded in a cloth concealing from those officers her weapons, if any. And her sudden movement towards them prevented them from checking her backpack for explosives or other weaponry.
And yet, she continued to aggressively moving towards them.
Ashli Babbitt is dead because of Ashli Babbitt.
May her family find peace.

"exulting over" the sentences given the three men is NOT because they are white.
It is because of the near universal perception by the American populace----and most importantly, the jury ----- that the egregiousness of this murder required the severest of penalties.
Putting a period to the issue was this revelation: After the victim was shot and bleeding out on the pavement....the shooter approached, kicked him in the head....and called him a ni**er!
If that is NOT egregious......
