  The people who fought through walls of police while tearing through doors and windows at the capital, should consider themselves lucky they got out alive.   
  Every other Friday I see videos of cops killing someone for less. The fact that only one person died in an attack that injured 140 police is miracle odds.
context: She should have complied with officer commands. >
  
  She thought her trump cape would protect her. >
  
  She thought the people with guns were on her side.
  Oops. >
  
  She was high on the fact she was some place she wasn't suppose to be, doing things that were forbidden, backed by a big crowd, had been directed there by the president himself, and probably thought Trump was there at the Capitol. She was making history. She felt ten feet tall and bulletproof. 
  Well, she wasn't ten feet tall or bulletproof. >
  
  but she did make history >
  
  Yeah, but I’m not so sure being the ‘find out’ part of ‘fuck around’ is a great footnote for a tombstone. >
  
  Babbitt was a terrorist who had been radicalized by right wing propaganda. She had broken into a federal building with the intent of stopping government proceedings, possibly to kidnap and murder members of government and she faced the consequences of her actions.
  Guess it's time for a new speaker. >
  
  I seriously can't fathom what people don't understand about it. It's very simple, there's even video of it. She attempted to break into the capitol right in front of armed guards during a violent insurrection. Sucks that human beings lost their lives that day but as the right likes to say, don't break the law and you'll be fine, huh?? >
  
  Many many people have not watched a single minute of footage from Jan 6th.  I’m pretty certain a nontrivial number of congresspeople have not seen the footage of her getting shot. That’s really weird because for some, it happened right in front of them. For many (or for most), it is hugely uncomfortable to have your beliefs threatened, and since your own attention is totally within your control, you just decide not to pay attention to the things that make you feel uncomfortable.  Presto chango-“everything I’ve seen shows that she was murdered!” >
  
  And he should be held accountable for every batshit qanon she says as long as she's on a committee. >
  
  Likely only because they don't want to set a precedent that climbing through the broken glass of a locked door to the floor of Congress while government agents tell you to stop with weapons drawn is acceptable. >
  
  Oh don't worry about it.  If any liberal group did the same exact thing, it would absolutely be called terrorism.  Don't forget: the cornerstone of Republican's position as the law and order party is that Republicans are allowed to break the law and then order police to only go after Democrats. >
  
  That old quote about conservatism, there must always be an ingroup who the law protects but does not bind, and an outgroup who the law binds but does not protect. >
  
  
  ”There has never been a trial. In fact, no one has cared about the person who shot and killed her,” Ms Greene argued.
  
  Well she is right in the sense that we should care about that officer. Lt. Michael Byrd barricaded the doors from the mob that Babbitt was a part of. There was no place to retreat. If the mob got through those doors, they would’ve had access to members of Congress. Byrd should get a Congressional Medal of Honor for his sacrifice and Babbitt’s body should be dumped in the middle of the ocean just as we do to other terrorists. >
  
  Byrd was well within his legal right and obligations. Greene should be in jail for harassing mass shooting survivors. >
  
  Isn’t the whole GQP thing “just comply, then you have nothing to worry about” when it comes to cops?
  Domestic terrorist Ashley Babbitt had every opportunity to not be shot by police. She disobeyed orders by law enforcement. If she’d complied, she’d probably still be a drain on society today. >
  
  Oh now the press uses Rep. Greene and not MTG.
  The press is trying to reimage her.  It is obvious now. >
  
  Our corporate owned right wing press would never do that! /s >
  
  It is like on cue.  This was just published by CNN yesterday that they are trying reimage MTG to the public. >
  
  Yeah, there’s just not enough lipstick can be put on this pig but the GOP will do their best while their ship burns down over the next year or so >
  
  Advancing towards a law enforcement officer who has a weapon pointed at you is a very good example of poor decision making skills. >
  
  Murder?... More like a traitor committing an act of terrorism was put down. >
  
  Is he allowed to disagree with her? >
  
  Wait. I thought she was rehabbing her image!?! >
  
  Does this look like rehabbing her image? >
  
  "I will never leave this woman"
  Leaves this woman. >
  
  Ashli Babbit was attacking the Capitol.  The shooter was protecting the Capitol and the people working in it. >
  
  I think it’s called suicide by cop. >
  
  McCarthy is a flip flopper. >
  
  McCarthy is ~~a flip flopper~~ an elected domestic terrorist. FIFY >
  
  Shocking. Who knew that man had a spine (partial spine)? >
  
  Don't be shocked for too long, he will flip flop later. >
  
  “She wasn’t murdered but the officer should have tried to de-escalate the situation by reminder her that she was white” >
  
  Oh Kevin, she's just speaking to your sedition caucus. >
  
  You have an awesome username.  
  Also, I find it hilarious that these wackados that are making the Republican Party seem somehow MORE unattractive to the largest growing voter base are continually being given more assignments are committee roles.
  Like, whats the endgame here?  Because people like MTG can only taint and poison everyone and everything having to do with her. >
  
  Maybe she should have just complied >
  
  I look forward to the day that McCarthy has a complete nervous breakdown after months of having to wrangle this nonsense. >
  
  He's the leader of the elected domestic terrorists party and it's just another day at the office. >
  
  Gaslighting, a highly refined superpower in the party of domestic terrorism is again on display by their Congressional leader. >
  
  Now they will want to vote for a new speaker. >
  
  The honeymoon is already over. Ten days ago he said she reminded him of his high school friends and he would never leave her. >
  
  Maybe it was a cold day, but does McCarthy's face looks torn up. >
  
  The Twitter discourse on Ashli is fascinating. There was one discussion from a major right-wing poster about how her death could've been preventable if only the orders came down from above fast enough saying to not shoot.
  Looney. She and the mob were hundreds of feet away from our congressman, police lines were getting attacked and breached, and all they could think about was how her life could've been spared? Near-sighted, to say the least. >
  
  So, call to remove him from the position should be coming soon from the Maga caucus. >
  
  Which is why he gave her committee assignments?  WTF? >
  
  I remember seeing the actual video of it happening on the day, although looking today I can't seem to find it anywhere.
  The cop was yelling at them to stop and stay back or he would shoot if they came through the window of the door. Repeatedly.She started to climb through the broken window and he shot her.
  When it's a person of color who "doesn't obey the police" they find every excuse in the world to justify the shooting. When it's one of their own, NOPE perfect angels. Bad cops. >
  
  Looks like we found some kind of line that McCarthy won't cross. Maybe he will next week but for now my respect for him has increased by 0.00000000001% >
  
  I have a feeling this job is going to make mccarthy age like crazy >
  
  Her online video rants were downright spooky.  She had so much anger and angst whether fake for her video or not- home girl was radicalized. >
  
  Babbitts stupidity caused her death. Full stop. >
  
  Fuck everyone who posts paywalled articles without posting the article in the comments. >
