There were people on her side of the door, shouting, "Gun, He's got a gun, He's got a gun."
But I still ask, and no Babbitt supporter has answered. You wanna try?
What was her intention?
How many trumpsters were instantly going to follow her through that window?
Like the other window breaches, with windows smashed?
Spare me the BS talking points like........
she was unarmed...... BS, we don't know that. She was military, right?
she was just trespassing...... BS again. You contards are such flippers.
she's DEAD because she committed a crime, and this crime had a price.
I don't know what her intentions were.
. . . and she, in turn, I don't believe, was acting at that point as an individual, she was carried away by the emotion, the sound, the fury of the ad hoc change in election law, the state sanction (as she perceived,) of violence by the rioting of the left over the previous year, by BLM & ANTIFA folks, and the propaganda on both sides.
It is, however, a fact that she was unarmed. Yes, you are correct, she was indeed trespassing, but you, OTH, are being a hypocrite, because if this had been a black woman killed by a cop protesting police violence, you would be as outraged as folks are on the right.
I am not a partisan. I neither identify with the conservative movement, nor with the liberal's movement. I seek to understand the forces that divide us. . . remember? E pluribus unum? Or did you forget?
IN America, you have the right to a "speedy," trial, and there is no such thing is being shot dead on the scene by authorities for trespassing. Or at least there didn't used to be. I am equally outraged by this, as I am by the George Floyd tragedy. Anyone that isn't. . . is falling for the propaganda of powerful forces.
Did you know that "In Dubious Battle," is Barrack Obama's favorite
Steinbeck?
“People have said, ‘mobs are crazy, you can’t tell what they’ll do.’ Why don’t people look at mobs not as men, but as mobs? A mob nearly always seems to act reasonably, for a mob.”
~Doc Burton
". . . A great mount of discourse takes place in the novel over the concept of a mob both in literal and figurative terms. The mob is to Steinbeck something to view with suspicion, but in this voice of his spokesman for non-teleological reasoning, he asks that people not react to a mob by responding to what it may be, but rather to what it clearly is: a collective entity acting as an organic being rather than the sum of many individual parts. A mob, in other words, cannot be explained, but how it works most certainly can be understood. . . "
