Now that Limbaugh's dead, I'm more worried about who is taking his place.
What defenseless woman was shot in the head?
Neither was hands up don’t shoot but when someone disobeys police orders and gets themselves killed riots are attempted to be justified by some media personalities as saying things who says protests have to be peaceful. Maybe even alter the 911 call a little in air. Facts only matter in certain shootings the rest are narrative is more important.Not worth any time looking through old posts, so I’ll take you at your word.
There was no reason at the time to believe Babbitt wasn’t a legitimate imminent threat to the officer or members of Congress, and she wasn’t shot in the head.
No surprise that someone who considers Babbitt a “defenseless woman” would also be ignorant of basic facts involved.
“As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out. An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor. A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.”
We should never forget!!!
My daughter and I watched the attack live and she kept screaming “why aren’t they shooting them”…There will be no trial for murder and there wouldn't be a conviction even if their was a trial ginned up for political reasons.
During the riots that day members of the mob had already demonstrated a willingness to use force that would result in loss of life or serious bodily injury. Reports of these actions were transmitted over the police radio net which Lt. Byrd was able to monitor. Lt. Byrd had also personally observed the mob of rioters outside the door to the Speakers Lobby (Hallway) use improvised melee weapons in a demonstration of violence breaking through the last police barricade prior to the mob having access to the House Floor, the door of which was within just a couple of steps of the breached barricade.
§ 5–351.01. Use of deadly force. | D.C. Law Library
code.dccouncil.us
Under the D.C. Code as to when deadly force can be used: "The law enforcement officer reasonably believes that deadly force is immediately necessary to protect the law enforcement officer or another person, other than the subject of the use of deadly force, from the threat of serious bodily injury or death;"
Given the situation at the time, the violence the mob had already demonstrated a willingness to use, and given the proximity of the mob to members of congress, their staff, and other civilians a reasonable person would believe that Lt. Byrd's, other law enforcement officers, members of congress or other civilians were in immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury.
It is apparent some people go by "feelings" in what they want to have happen, but at no time in the future will Lt. Byrd be tried in a criminal court of his justifiable shooting of a rioter breaching a police barricade and trying to reach members of congress.

What in the name of all that is good are you babbling about now? A woman shot in cold blood and this is the post?
Sure, go for it.
Tucker's the douche who's come into the limelight with his virtue signaling to Putin. He's a special kind of demon, that Tucker.

I noticed that as well, he was never charged.

Babbitt is the subject. She was responsible for her own death.
Hopefully, the government doesn’t give her family a penny.
She was no hero or martyr. She was a seriously troubled, out of control person.
“In the months before her death, Babbitt had become consumed by pro-Trump conspiracy theories and posted angry screeds on social media. She also had a history of making violent threats.
Her Twitter account, which was taken down after her death, was rife with references to the QAnon conspiracy theory, which centers on the baseless belief that Trump has secretly battled deep-state enemies and a cabal of Satan-worshiping cannibals that includes prominent Democrats who operate a child sex trafficking ring.
“Nothing will stop us,” Babbitt tweeted Jan. 5. “They can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light!”

Ignoring lies and deceit is something I do consistently.
No, you're not confused. I mischaracterized his mode of being cleared of wrongdoing. Your are correct. He didn't stand trial, nor should he.
It wasn't "homicide". It was neutralizing an attacker.

It would have been interesting if it was a white cop that shot an unarmed black female trying to enter a restricted area in the Capital.
LOL. Nope. Nice try, Black or white she was impeding an official government proceeding. Her death, although tragic was no one's fault but hers.
How many other people were "impeding an official government proceeding" that day? There must have been dozens shot that day. I didn't know that crime was punishable by death.
As long as the woman shot was a Trump supporter, the left wouldn't have a problem with it. Now if it was a BLM riot, and was not on Jan. 6, yeah there is no doubt there would be outrage over it.
The vast majority of police shootings we have seen held up as examples of police abuse and racism against black people have been far more justifiable than Babbitt's shooting.
No thanks. And you know what I said is the truth.
