Lawyer: Capitol Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt 'Ambushed' Her on Jan. 6 Without Warning

RealClearInvestigations ^ | August 5, 2021

Kicking off the first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot, Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, promised to fully investigate "the facts of what happened on Jan. 6,” calling it “a scene of violence in the citadel of democracy.”

But over the next 3½ hours, he and other Democrats, along with their handpicked Republican panelists and police witnesses, never mentioned the most lethal act committed that day — the fatal Capitol Police shooting of unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt. It was the only shot fired during the entire riot.



This omission angered Babbitt’s family and a number of Republicans who maintain that the Select Committee and the Capitol Police are covering up the circumstances surrounding her death. Questions linger over the shooting, especially whether the officer who fired the fatal shot warned Babbitt to stop before he opened fire as she attempted to breach a barricaded door inside the Capitol Building.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, right, a Mississippi Democrat, promised to fully investigate "the facts of what happened on Jan. 6.” But in his panel's extensive opening hearing, there was no mention of the killing of Ashli Babbitt

Ashli Babbitt, shown with husband Aaron, was the victim of an
ambush without warning, the family's lawyer says.

No mention of the killing of Ashli Babbitt.

The things you can get away with while not being white if she was black it would be a 24/7/365 story.

Now tell me about all that racism business people talk about....

you people are nuts, when you try to overthrow our country and democracy what do you expect should or would happen , they should have shot every ass hole who forced their way into the capital putting 140 cops in the hospital. Everyone should have been shot.

You mean Ashli Babbit didn't know she wasn't supposed to smash windows and break in the Capitol?

 

[surada]

Ok Mr Expert.
What was her INTENT for breaching that window?

Maybe she planned to rescue Mike Pense from Trump's mob.

 

[Blaster]

You mean Ashli Babbit didn't know she wasn't supposed to smash windows and break in the Capitol?

She didn't smash any windows.

 

[Blaster]

Maybe she planned to rescue Mike Pense from Trump's mob.

Was Pence in any danger?

 

[August West]

She didn't smash any windows.

I`ve been in the Capitol twice in my lifetime. In the 70s, a person can stroll right in but today you need a pass from your congressman`s office. She didn`t know that?

 

[surada]

She didn't smash any windows.

She was mashed up against the window when the mob smashed it. Remember what she said about Trump and QAnon? She was a true believer.

 

[surada]

Was Pence in any danger?

The mob was threatening to hang Pense. Trump was furious that he certified the election.

 

[Concerned American]

You mean Ashli Babbit didn't know she wasn't supposed to smash windows and break in the Capitol?

You mean you didn't know that trespassing isn't a capital offense?

 

[westwall]

You mean Ashli Babbit didn't know she wasn't supposed to smash windows and break in the Capitol?

She didn't. Someone else did that. Funny how you assholes justify the murder if 30 people, and over 2 billion in damage during your summer of love, but turn into bloodthirsty fascists when a woman, wrapped in a flag, has the audacity to protest a stolen election.

We`ve had race riots for 300 years but only one riot where crazies tried to overthrow our Democracy. Do yourself a favor and read books.

The mob was threatening to hang Pense. Trump was furious that he certified the election.

Bullshit.

 

[Blaster]

She was mashed up against the window when the mob smashed it. Remember what she said about Trump and QAnon? She was a true believer.

She was unarmed and murdered by a capitol policeman. Do you condone that?

That was obvious from the video. He ran up to her and shot her point blank while she was immobilized.

"Lawyer: Capitol Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt 'Ambushed' Her on Jan. 6 Without Warning"​

Too bad the video and audio dispute that creepy, weird claim.

 

[Dante]

She was unarmed and murdered by a capitol policeman. Do you condone that?

One more creepy, weird claim that is easily refutable.​

Over and over again this claim has been proven to be false

 

[Dante]

That was obvious from the video. He ran up to her and shot her point blank while she was immobilized.

I believe it's being claimed she was being held down by three to five other killers.

 

[Dante]

every single person who beat their way into the capital to bring down our democracy and country should have BEEN SHOT AT THE FRONT DOOR.

Agree. The MAGA crowd likes to conflate everyone at the Capitol with their Brownshirts.

The ones who protested with rioting -- if they had been a black crowd, MAGA would be demanding an investigation as to why they were not all shot.

 

[westwall]

No

We`ve had race riots for 300 years but only one riot where crazies tried to overthrow our Democracy. Do yourself a favor and read books.

No guns no attempted overthrow you ******* moron.
