[W:1088] Trump Praises 1/6 Rally 'Love,' Suggests Ashli Babbitt Killed by Top Democrat's Security Chief

One way or another, and without another costly, partisan, Democratic witch hunt, we will find out the name of that shooter-guy, and his formal position, because Ashli's family attorneys are suing...

Stay tuned.

I understand the shooter was discovered a few days ago: LT. Michael Leroy Byrd (an officer who lost his gun in a bathroom in 2019).

We now have an explanation on the unprecedented withholding of information on this case: Lt. Byrd is a black officer who killed a white woman. As he is a member of a police force that works for Congress, of course the majority party is not going to expose him to the same kind of public scrutiny as given to many other officers involved in police shootings of black suspects. Were this a white police officer having killed a democratic black woman entering Congress, the hell hath no fury aphorism would have a new meaning.

The real story behind this tragedy is yet to be told, and won't be discovered until such time as all radio communications are provided and testimony as to vocal instructions are given; a well as a close reading of the incident report and officer's statement. Exactly what prompted him to panic and kill her isn't clear, but there isn't any doubt that his response was HUGELY different than that of the heroic black officer who lead the crowd up the stairs out of harm's way.

His hiding in a deep alcove that served as cover for an ambush of the poor woman isn't exactly an inspiring story...be it legal or not.

And you guys ain't much better when you defend most people of color who get shot because they failed to follow lawful police orders and yet come out in support of police shooting an unarmed woman for simply trespassing.

So spare me your outrage.

She wasn't SIMPLY trespassing. You make it sound like she had one foot on Capital grounds and the other off. And there are very, very few cases (and you don't know any of them) where "us guys" defend people of color who get shot for SIMPLY failing to follow a lawful police order.

You could be one of the millions whose life was saved from the deadly virus because Trump spent billions of our tax dollars to create Operation Warp Speed that created a vaccine in record time.

You can't name any "damage" done by Trump during his four years.

Weird how Trump's minions don't demand that Trump's other minions take advantage of Trump's miraculous vaccine.

Imagine "the poor woman" did not follow a crowd of violent protesters, did not witness them smashing doors and windows, and did not dive through the broken glass into a secure area. She would still be alive. And a police officer doing his job would not have to be fearful for his life and his family because "patriots" such as yourself feel the need to broadcast his name.
PATHETIC is the only word the comes to mind as I read your post.

You can imagine a whole bucket of "what ifs", all of which is irrelevant to the "what did happen". And what happened isn't in dispute, she was standing near a window on the far right that had been broken by overly aggressive protestors, and allowed herself to be lifted to the top of the break and she put a foot through to enter through the break. At the same time, the officer stuck his arm and gun out of a shadowed alcove on the other side of the entry ways and killed her.

And yes, in the game of "ifs", if the officer had showed himself and issued a warning she may have complied and saved her life. But because he didn't, we won't know and she is dead.

Was it a lawful killing? From what we do know, yes. Was it a heroic killing, no.

As far as the name of the officer goes, that is already in the public sphere, and should have been in the public sphere long ago. The hyperbolic and exaggerated fear of Trump supporters, and of a small number of frolicking crazies (e.g. buffalo man) is manufactured partisan hysteria. An innocent person would have been 100 times safer mingling with that crowd in the rotunda than any person in the arsonist, murdering, occupation and combat zones of the last several years.
 
The Republican Socialist Party members told us that Blue Lives Matter and are heroes whenever an officer shoots an unarmed African American to counter the Black Lives Matter slogan. But when it comes to Ashli Babbitt, suddenly Blue Lives Matter don't matter that much and they are the bad guys now.

The Republican Socialist Party members told us that those unarmed persons should've known they would get shot because they wouldn't comply with the officer's orders. But when it comes to Ashli Babbitt, suddenly what the officers did were wrong even though they ordered her to stand down and she did not comply.

The Republican Socialist Party members told us that it is a righteous shoot when the unarmed suspect made a move towards the officers that seen as an attack. But when it comes to Ashli Babbitt, suddenly it isn't a righteous shoot even though she dove at the armed officers, which was seen as an attack.

Of course, it is obvious as to why the Republican Socialist Party is duplicitous on this. There are two reasons why. First, because it was in support of Trump...which means that you all forget all about law and order and go with the ends justify the means. Second, it was because she was white. Yes, I am invoking race. Why? Because SHE DID THE SAME DAMN THINGS WHEN THOSE UNARMED BLACK MEN WERE KILLED BY POLICE OFFICERS!!!!!!!! But she gets a pass, and they don't. That's the reason why.

Look, you approve of her actions because it was in service of Trump. You ALL (on the right) condone riots and insurrection in service if Trump.

Remember when Trump said "When the looting starts, the shooting starts?" You all fell all over yourselves about "law and order." Now someone gets shot by police in a riot (which is a very light way to describe 1/6) and you're against shooting rioters and against law and order.

ALL? Well if you are straight up going to just lie, why bother posting at all?

Some of his diehard supporters admit that he lies as easily as he breathes, but they don't care.


Some of his diehard supporters maintain that he doesn't lie. It's Alice Through the Looking Glass stuff. For example:

“I think I speak for many people in that Trump has never actually been wrong, and so we’ve learned to trust when he says something, that he’s not just going to spew something out there that’s wrong and not verified." -- Debra Ell, Republican organizer in Michigan

For Republicans, fealty to Trump’s election falsehood becomes defining loyalty test

LOL like MSN knows anything about Republicans except how to defame them.

Yea, to bad the over zealous cop couldn’t avoid shooting an unarmed 5 foot woman. What a man.

We would have Biden insisting the officer should have shot her in the leg and. the brain trust on The View saying he should have popped off a warning shot.
And hey, what about using a taser?

Non-sequitur. I still find the violent actions of a few Trump supporters to be utterly detestable but as you know that wasn't my point.

His name is no secret, and he homicided Ashley Babbit, a women without a weapon who presented no threat to him. Or the 3, heavily-armed Capital Police officers standing right behind her.

Did anyone else address the most important issue in this thread? I read most of the thread and saw no reference to it. Please tell me if I missed one.
In the interests of my grammar first pledge I have to ask when "homicide" became a verb.
I never read that someone "homicided" someone else before this thread; yet there was no outcry by anyone here.
I must have missed the introduction of a new verb into the English language.
Or does no one care what what anyone writes anymore?

Why is his being Black crucial to your attempt to dox him? And can we have a link to this information that Black people can shoot terrorists too?

No, we all caught that. But his post was so dumb that using homicide as a verb was the least stupid thing about it.

Unless the suit is dismissed without merit. Which many believe it will be.

I thought his name was already outed a few months ago.
