Let me be honest.
I find it sad that Ashli Babbitt died. I find it sad that she wasted her life doing something so unbelievably stupid with no possible beneficial outcome. She was an idiot. She was inspired by Trump's idiotic rhetoric and ridiculous QAnon conspiracy theories to the point that she breached a barricaded part of the capitol directly in front of armed security. What did she think was going to happen?! Again, she was an idiot. I'm genuinely sad that she wasted her entire life in what I would consider Darwin-award-level stupidity.
All of these people are dead because of Trump's insane rhetoric. But the death of this officer is different. This one hurts.
This officer did nothing wrong. This officer died defending our elected officials from a riot of insane people inspired by Trump. People like her.
She died risking her life in a cause she (and many other Americans) believed in. The officer presumably died doing what he believed was his duty. There is no more honorable way to die. I suspect you slander your betters. If you've never risked everything for what you believe you should STFU.
Officer Sicknick, RIP, died a few hours ago from injuries sustained in the line of duty. This ***** died while rioting and smashing doors down in the Capitol of the United States. You make it sound like she did something heroic, but she was a rioter attacking Congress as its members were in the middle of carrying out the requirements of the Constitution of the United States. Essentially, she died attacking the United States. There is no comparison.
Hun, I saw a longer video of the incident about an hour ago---its late but I don't recall seeing her breaking the window. I saw who I think were cops who look like swat going up the stairs behind where she and the other supposed trump supporters were at----------as they were arriving on scene--the males who were breaking the glass left the broken window which allowed her the space to climb up into the opening--its possible that they saw the cops coming up from behind and she had not or perhaps she was just trying to flee the upcoming cops with those bad looking assault rifles.. She being small may not have seen the undercover killer cop behind the class hiding in a doorway ready and primed by that dumbass coward Rep MarkWarren to shoot any one who look liked a trump supporter who trespassed across the window. The swat looking cops are the ones that you see in the video holding the guns once she goes down and they are saying active shooter in the building---I don't think they realized who shot her at first either.
Who in the hell cares. The ***** died trying to attack the Congress of the United States. She was an active rioter and traitor, not worthy of tears.
You're just upset she wasn't one of
your rioters and traitors. And you obviously have an overly inflated opinion of the value of your tears. Feel free to keep them; no one cares.
What tears? The ***** died trying to overthrow the United States Government.
She will barely be remembered, and when she is remembered it will be as a foolish woman who died for stupidity and nothing else.
On the night of April 18, 1775, hundreds of British troops set off from
Boston toward Concord, Massachusetts, in order to seize weapons and ammunition stockpiled there by American colonists. Gunfire was exchanged, leaving two colonists and three redcoats dead. ...https://www.history.com/news/what-was-the-shot-heard-round-the-world
So in retrospect, It is easy to decide who to side with, the British colonists, but they were seditionists, they were traitors and the all believed that they were being treated unfairly and not being heard by their own government. On that day would you have supported or not supported the action on April 18, 1775?
When Trump was elected, many elected him because they believed rightly or wrongly, that he would listen to them and treat them fairly. In November many more voted for him for the same reason. Whether they were correct or not is irrelevant, they also believed the voting system was corrupt and the will of the people was being ignored and an election was stolen.
I don’t believe the election was stolen, I don’t believe the riot was a good cause, I don’t think what happened should of happened. But someone cited a quote by Thomas Jefferson and I thought, would I have supported the British subjects that were starting a revolution, and committing treason against their own government? Would I have believed the violence was justified?
Just a thought as my mind has mulled over the disaster that was Wednesday and the deaths of that day.
