    Terrorist. There should never be a story with her name without mentioning that she was a terrorist who was killed in defense of the Capitol building.

      Not a terrorist after a terrorist from there same faction gets into the highest pubic office.

      Unfortunately/sadly I’m not even being sarcastic. That is just how it works, what next gens get taught, & what the majority just accepts over time (until the regime change).

      We still celebrate plenty of historical monsters.

        Words have meaning. Terrorists are terrorists even after they take power. You’re not wrong, though.

          I agree but how many people in the west call USA war tactics terrorist?

          Terrorist acts, in its core, are what is meant to shock the population, a means of (usually killing the civilian population) achieving the effect on people with less (economically).
          Eg nuking civilian population (for terror among the nation) vs nuking the same nations unpopulated areas (or, weeks before that, systematically using incendiary bombs on civilians).

          Words have meaning, that is why propaganda changes the narratives/words (sometimes even word definitions).

    The Justice Department found that there was insufficient evidence to prove Babbitt’s civil rights had been violated, and that it was reasonable for the officer to have believed he was firing in self-defense or in defense of fleeing lawmakers, who were forced to evacuate from a session to certify Trump’s 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

    How much are her family going to pay to the families of the other deceased from that day ? Maybe all that were incarcerated should be fined millions of dollars to help pay for compensation. Fuckwits the lot of them.
