Well, first good poster Tory, I wasn't there. I was about a thousand miles away.
However, what I saw on several videos was a violent mob battering at a barricade intentionally erected to prevent their entry. The shortly-to-become-dead gal was an integral part of that mob. Video shows her emphatically and vigorously remonstrating with the officers on the other side of that barricade.
And once the barricade was breached she was the first to charge into the breach directly towards the officers.....who had repeatedly warned her and others to back off, to go away, to not enter. Hell, even a pistol was brandished by an officer, which was loudly acknowledged by the mob.. Babbitt knew a gun was present and aimed.
She entered anyway.
She entered in a threatening manner.
She became DOA.
Babbitt's DOA-ness is because of her. Her aggressive actions, threatening manner, her dismissing the threat of an aimed gun, her ignoring the emphatic verbal warnings.
Babbitt is dead because of Babbitt.
May her family find peace.
