Ashli Babbitt | Capitol Riot Attacker | Was She a Conspiracy Theorist? Was the Shooting Justified? 

She must have known that because from what I've read she served 6 years with the "Capital Guardians"... and would have been expected to shoot anyone doing what she decided to do.

Highly protected building? Didn’t seemed that way on Jan 6.

You would think.

Didn't look very protected.

@@Maddie9185 Even if no one was there it is still protected. Breaking & entering is illegal.

My thoughts as well.

She was the warning shot.

@@msfair3625 exactly.

I have no doubt that if the officer had not shot her, more people would go through, overpower, and most likely kill him before moving on to the senate chamber.

I agree. They were a direct threat to the VP and senators. He did his job to protect them.

You need better reasoning skills!

Did you see any of the footage from before the shooting? Obviously not or you wouldnt say such stupid things. She was pulling people away from the door, and actually punched the guy who broke the windows. The cops were literally just standing there and were offered water by the guy recording. I am in no way a supporter of Trump. But its absurd how supposed "Liberals" have become the ones who have ushered in tyranny.

@@BrookseyJay Don't correct him 😂

@@BrookseyJay you proved the point. Congrats.

Well said!!! I had forgotten this scripture.

Exactly

Lt. Byrd, the murderer, just pulled out his gun and shot her with no warning. She was unarmed. With new video of a FBI/NSA operative planting pipe bombs at both the Dem and Republican National committee hqs the day before. And the DC police were uninterested when a random plainclothes cop advised them at the scene of the bomb at DNC. They sat in their car, finishing their donuts or whatever while people walked past. Jan 6 was a fedsurrection and Dr. Todd is low info uninterested on this. The keystone DC cops started firing projectiles and tear gas as people in the crowd behind the barricades. Not to mention kicking and beating to death another unarmed woman in the tunnel. This “eval” is deep state crap. The so called po-lice did nothing when blm-antifa-biden supporters destroyed Secret Service guard shacks, injuring 200 or so SS agents, smashed and looted businesses and set fire to the historic church in an earlier actual riot.

@@sirens4562 yes, indeed.

Mind boggling willful ignorance!

@Curtis Bogue satisfying that one person acknowledges it, but never addressed by the nation! I blame such an inability, and unwillingness to reevaluate information, on the failure of the US education system to teach rational thinking skills, fact-based assessment, and reality-based ethical thinking. The proliferation of religious based "educational" institutions, play a terrible part in the ignorance of the United States population. The national Narcissistic outlook is goaded by the unfounded reverence given to the notion of "Constitutional Freedoms". This has become "MY equal rights trump everyone else's". The World is witnessing a selfish nation imploding on itself. Most other "modern western capitalist" societies see nothing wrong in a minimum wage for all, a monetary safety net, and basic health cover for all. Why do you think the USA, which has held itself up as the savior of other Nations, has such difficulty with these concepts? It is neither mental illness, coincidence nor an accident that roughly one third of US citizens think like Babbitt.

Like your point but I like string theory ha so I have you thumbs down haha

@@abtheflagman not so fast - I kinda find String theory much more interesting!!

They kill for a lot less than someone storming the Nations Capitol in an incident that claimed 5 lives..In our world the people helping her push through that door would be charged with her murder,and if you think the cop should have waited in that situation.. I sure would like to hear your commentary on the hundreds of killings by police of unarmed men & women,some people are shot in the back.We are fortunate that the rioters were our police,law makers,you name it,and had a look that gives them a pass or the death toll would be much higher..Not to mention somebody would be charged with murdering a police officer,and we sure wouldn't be debating whether or not the person that incited the riot should stay for the remainder of his job contract or resign.

Protest is not always peaceful, nor does a non peaceful protest invalidate the point being brought up. This; however, was a clear coup attempt based off of speculation.

@@luns486 Right. On one hand, it dragged on for several months with many buildings being burnt down causing an excessive amount of property damage, some of which were Federal buildings, which taxpayers will no doubt be expected to cover the cost of. During those riots, hapless bystanders were dragged out of their cars and beaten for no apparent reason. Roads were blocked, and people threatened. Parts of cities were overrun and considered to be "autonomous zones" while the mayors of said cities downplayed the seriousness (The Left is the establishment). In those "autonomous zones", murder and rape ran rampant. A Black extremist group, more interested in Marxism and sowing racial tension rather than the actually welfare of those they claim to represent, was given a platform and billions of dollars from corporate entities (Again, the Left IS the establishment). The riots did nothing but sow deeper division and hate in the United States, which even spread over to other Western nations. And what good has come from it? More walking on egg shells? On the other hand, a building was broken into, and it was over in a day. It just happened to be the crowd who the media and Liberals have been unjustly demonizing and pushing into a corner for a number of decades. Don't act like there's no bias. Our society is rife with it. Especially on the Left side of the political spectrum.

It seems the group had much success advancing further and further into the building as officers retreated. This likely emboldened the group into believing that they could strongarm their way forward with continued lack of opposition. I could hear no verbal orders, so it appears while the rioters had met the requirement for lethal force and should have known the danger, it was not clear to them what risk they were truly taking.

I don't think they cared about the risk.

@@EbonyPope you are wrong

@@EbonyPope Have a look at the video, EbonyPope. There are four or five apparently unarmed police officers blocking the way of a couple dozen and growing number of yelling protesters, who tell them repeatedly to get out of the way, or else. After a couple of minutes, officers do, leaving only glass and a couple of wooden doors between the protesters and the congress people and a couple of guards on the other side. The protesters beat in the glass with bats and break through. There are two guards CLEARLY visible on the other side, and even if Babbitt couldn't see them, her companions warned everyone. She voluntarily climbs through the window, presumably because she was the smallest. Even if the officer knew she was unarmed, she could have been through the window and unlocking the door in a couple seconds. IMHO, the officers should have fired a warning shot when the glass started breaking, but I was not in their position.

So, with that being said can we go back and look at many of the other situations that have caused National uproar and look at them objectively and say the same? I happen to agree with you, btw.

She didn't need encouragement to do it. And yes I'm well aware of mob mentality. But you're giving her an excuse. And I find that happening a lot when, and it's usually whites, certain people commit crimes. Suddenly a lot of excuses are made about mental illness and this that and the other thing. But I never really see those types of comments when it's a person of color, that they may have mental illness, anger, grievances, or whatever that fueled their actions. I'm sure that that was not your intent. You are empathizing. I get that. But it is something that people do when they identify with the perpetrator. And the reason why that disturbs me is because it glosses over behaviors that's dangerous to a lot of us, and I'm really tired of that. And that's the reason why we got a January 6th. And the reason why they are threatening to do something on January 20th. We need to stop making excuses for grown people's behaviors who make really bad choices that endangered hours as well as their lives. Yes, and mental health services should be made available. And maybe if we had universal health care that would be a possibility. Hmmmm.

We are a republic. Did you not pay attention in first grade civics

I think unfortunately many veterans experience a great deal of dissonance, frustration, disillusionment and misplacement after retiring. Their brains and bodies have been tempered for extreme stress, being under siege, defending targets, skirmishes to take back land.

Hmmmm were you disappointed in all of those BLM peeps destroying our monuments. I sure hope so.

@@joleenshadows lol you mean the the hateful monuments of racist traitor confederates used to intimidate POC? Also, how are you comparing storming and desecrating the Capitol building, threatening lives, and actually killing a police officer to anything BLM has done? Seriously, like how? I'm genuinely baffled. Lol

@@ulovit1 BLM were responsible for 18 deaths thus far so I think you can put my death is bigger than your death ratio aside. Antifa broke into the building. That has already been proven since the paid shrills uploaded videos confessing. Trump supporters did follow in once the building was open. And who from the Trump supporters threatened lives huh? There is video of the back door being opened by police letting civilians into the building. Now go research the events a bit better before you judge a bunch of Americans exercising their constitutional rights.

insurrectionists suuuuure

Are you referring to the blm and antifa riots over summer that saw federal courthouses torched with people inside?

She felt protected by the president of the USA. The president called them there. Exhorted them to fight. She felt under his aegis.

@Randall Mellott Congratulations to Ashli Babbitt on 365 days of successful anger management.

@@eddenoy321 congratulations on gf on two years sober lol and his daughter is barely hanging on

@@shainshartershwate7421 You are now a person of interest in regards to the U.S. Capitol events Jan.6, 2020 We will forward your ip address along to the proper investigative FBI section. Or you can voluntarily contact your local FBI within 30 days from today for questioning purposes only.

There are plenty of court cases in process right now for the Summer of riots. Look up charges, they are everywhere. They are not consolidated or investigated like January 6th because they are not as large or organized as the January 6th attack on our democracy.

I agree with your consideration of the position of law enforcement officers. Too often people fail to appreciate the difficulty of having to make split minute decisions when lives, including their own, are at risk. When people are breaking the law and failing to heed the warnings of law enforcement, it is they who have put their lives at risk. Having said that, not all LEO shootings are justified. Even when unjustified, it does not mean there was malicious intent. When shootings are questionable, it is best to reserve judgement in support of an investigation. I have never supported those who stormed the capitol building. Nevertheless, I have been concerned about the reactive attempt to bury the Babbit shooting in secrecy. As for the 'cultish' people who are still convinced that Trump was the greatest president, consider this: About half of our country supported Trump. Both impeachments failed due to deeply disturbing attempts to use the government and media to frame him for things he did not do. To dismiss the Russia-gate scandal, FBI/DOJ/Clinton malfeasance and Biden-Ukraine-China corruption, in preference for belittling Trump supporters as cultish conspiracy theorists is argument by name calling, not to mention denial. Like many Americans, I have mixed feeling about President Trump. There are aspects of his personality that I reject for being abrasive and unlikable. I am not convinced the election was stolen, but I am not naïve enough to insist that voter fraud is not a problem. That said, on the whole, I find Trump's policies have been more predictive of the future, more supportive of LEOs, more economically stimulating and stabilizing, more supportive of minor programs, more border protective, more protective of domestic farming/manufacturing/jobs, more international peace-keeping and more protective of the safety, rights and liberties of American citizens than Biden's. I will not allow the chorus of median and high tech voices seduce or intimidate me into abandoning critical thinking and common sense. Perhaps your relatives are just refusing to follow the acrimonious herd of Trump bashers who never seem to tire of making irresponsible accusations and characterizing those who disagree as psychologically ill.

Yes 🙌🏾

Yes!

GraciesGrammaVlogs Second this.

Yes! In that Gayle King interview she was something else!

I saw her interview and was shocked she agreed to do it, she came off looking worse lol

Like George Floyd?

Which social media outlet?

@@petew.7870 Twitter Qanon

Prove it robot

Agree.

Definitely sounds like a cult. A lot of brainwashing.

@@tinafoster8665... Because we have only two major parties...?

Yup

If Trump gave them kool aid they would chug that shit

I know she looks like a guy

Like mistaking slogans for reasoning.

Or for facts.

Dialectical thinking is indeed lacking for so many. If more people could entertain arguments they didn't agree with, perhaps reactionary violence wouldn't be such an imminent threat. Always keep your mind, your heart and your third eye open!

But do you rigidly think that "Rigid thinking is truly humanity’s biggest hurdle."?

@@southerndiscomfort2412 No! I refuse to hear your point of view because mine is always the best! Lol

She fucked around and found out, it serves her right, a good maga hatter is a dead one

It played out pretty good for the cop. The very short investigation cleared him completely and to this day he believes he saved "countless lives."
