I honestly do not understand why you all are having so much difficulty understanding this simple concept. The mob encountered a locked door that lead to the House Chambers. If was locked in order to keep people out but instead of staying out they decided to breach the locked door by breaking out the window and attempting to go through the window.If a policeman is holding a gun and you keep coming at him, you will likely get shot.
Now if she had turned away and retreated, and then got shot, it would be questionable.
She wasn't coming at him, he was off to the side. She was trying to get through an opening, and was not a direct threat to him.
Ashli was shot to keep her and anyone else from getting to the other side of that locked door, plain and simple.
I don't have a problem at all with what you're saying. She was an extremist, and like the rest deserved punishment. I do however question whether she deserved to be shot.
However, the only reason I responded to this thread in the first place, is you have a poster here claiming the officer warned her before he shot her. I have found no evidence of that, and when I pointed this out to him he will not admit he has no evidence to back his claim, and instead has now lied about what he earlier said.
