Umm, the NG was ultimately called up that day and it didn't escalate the situation. What kind of lame reasoning are you coming up with?
And again, there's no evidence Pelosi rejected calling up the NG.
Yes, the chief of the capital police finally realized is idiotic mistake and requested them. Even then it took 4 hours for them to get there. Which is why Trump very wisely offered to have them position in advance. This was days before the actual event.
If you are whining about the National Guard not being there, it is Pelosi and the people under her you should be whining to. Not to Trump who tried to get them there to prevent any violence.
And no, shooting Benedict Babbitt was not for nothing. It was to keep that violent mob out of the House chamber until all members of Congress could be evacuated from there.
Why only her, though? Why not shoot them all? There were plenty of people in the house Chambers, so why only one person shot? She was shot because that Capital police lieutenant was an idiot. Still is, I assume. He should be in prison. Preferably death row since he committed the murder under color of law.
For what it's worth, after I posted that the 2020 Riders were not shot in the head, I remember that one of them actually was. I believe it was outside of a federal courthouse and a federal Marshal shot him with some kind of stun projectile. He was across the street if I remember correctly, so there was no need to shoot him in the head with anything. That Marshall should be in the same cell with that Capital Hill Police lieutenant or in the cell next to him on death row if that Rioter died.
Call me crazy, but we don't need police officers shooting people in the head over protests that get out of hand. I guess you totally disagree with that statement.
This overly dramatic wailing and gnashing of teeth over a protest at the Capitol the first month of 2021 are absurd considering that you supported the rioting through the last 8 months of 2020. How many times did Nancy Pelosi, AOC, ilhan omar, or any other prominent Democrat call their supporters off during that time?
Can you post the video of Nancy Pelosi asking the protesters to leave the capital when they were protesting the confirmation hearing of Justice kavanaugh? Also, post the liberal media's condemnation of those protesters.
You cannot, because that did not happen. So the whining about the sacredness of the halls of Congress is laughable.
