    The world is a better place without her in it. Plus she embodied the concept of FAFO. She will always be a traitor. Nothing will ever change that and history will not be kind to her or her stupid ass political party.

    “Ashli posed no threat to the safety of anyone,” the lawsuit stated, and did not go to Washington “as part of a group or for any unlawful or nefarious purpose.”

    She was part of a horde of people who broke into the capitol and started assaulting police officers and she was actively leading the charge through a barricade that was erected to protect people escaping the capital.

    I don’t know how you watch those videos and think “yeah, she was innocent.”

      The big tragedy of Jan 6th was that too few of the insurrectionists got shot.

        Another tragedy: the story of the guy who tased his balls enough to have a heart attack and die is not true 😢. He did have a heart attack and die, but didn’t get tased in the balls.

      It’s easy, you just don’t watch the videos. I watched the video of her getting shot. She is warned numerous times by the DC police officer (I think was who ended up firing on her I can’t remember) before breaking in and climbing through a window to the area literally right outside the Congressional chambers.

      I mean … What else was supposed to happen there? There was a few dudes guarding that door vs a bunch of angry rioters/cultists/pieces of shit. They didn’t really have a choice but to shoot her or they would have had a flood of people coming through there.

      I saw some pretty interesting human behavior on display that day watching it real time with video from inside and out.

      One interesting thing, when they shot Ashli everyone behind her changed their tune REAL quick and ran away. Shit got real for them. In all honesty I think the police/national guard when they arrived should have used lethal force that day. I understand the logic behind not and I can’t disagree with it completely, largely out numbered and no way to know what kind of firearms were in the crowd. Of course it made sense to try to delay and not escalate into what could have been a shoot out. However, I think that plan also emboldened the bad actors there.

      Another interesting thing - I watched hundreds of people file through a velvet roped off line before someone decided to undo the ropes so people could actually move around. It was hilarious. Thank God the people that stormed the Capitol were a bunch of morons, I’m sure that saved some lives.

        One of them yelled “medic” like someone would just be there ready to respond.

        A bunch of LARPing dipshits who didn’t realize how close they were to ending up just like Babbit.

          Yeah, I’m sure the folks that are part of meal team six that are “standing by” are LARPing as soldiers/paramilitary. I suspect the second any real shit went down most of them would crumble like tissue paper.

          It takes a real bootlicking coward to join the proud boys or any like minded orgs. I’ve no doubt they’re full of guys who want to project some false machismo and bravado because they’re so fat, ugly, dumb, and sexually frustrated. Bet that they can’t even get laid if they paid for it.

          Like seriously I think maybe 1/20 of the dudes I see standing around trying to look tough are somewhat in shape. The rest are obese and would probably die just having to walk a few miles in the heat.

          Now, having said all that, guns don’t care if you’re in shape or not - they shoot bullets just the same. These people are dangerous, I just don’t think they’ll have the resolve or nerve to stand up to organized resistance if push comes to shove.

        She died a traitor and her family is getting rewarded for it. Awesome.

        GOP will want a statue of her in front of the Capitol.

        I can see it now, the ultimate maga monument - Ashli Babbit 69’ing with Kyle Rittenhouse while Derek Chauvin kneels on the neck of a faceless black man next to them, jerking himself off. Behind him will be a banner bearing this quote from David Grossman: “They all say, ‘The best sex I’ve had in months.’”

        And all captured in lifelike bronze…
