exactly

for you see, had one or more congresspeople died, they would've been committed by antifaa few, but they lived, so clearly they were no threat

and had they actually succeeded in their aim to kill everyone inside and give trump another four years or till he kills everyone else, whichever comes firstwhatever it was -- clearly we don't know at this point -- surely they wouldn't actually install trump as president, they'll accept biden succeeding him in office, because they're such good democrats who just want a little coupaccountability


the thing is...that didn't happen, your speculating.

Cool, my point still stands.

If they say: "Back off or we're going to shoot!". It's very likely they will shoot if you don't back off. She didn't back off, so she got shot.

Just as if they say: "I can't breathe!". It's very likely they're not breathing correctly and are at risk of dying.

if she was part of a violent mob those cops that were two feet behind her with AR-15's sure didn't seem to feel they were being over ran.

Welll there is this ability oh you know arrange a meeting with your officials. You don’t show up with a mob, smashing doors and windows, attacking guards with chants like hang Mike Pence. You don’t usually try to jump through a smashed window after the guards with guns warn you off.


The cops are supposed to be the professionals and to use the least amount of force possible, she was unarmed, they could have detained her if she came through.

If you're going to sanction a form of political violence and attach an "if" or a "but" to it, you will be accused of hypocrisy and your accuser will almost certainly have a valid point. If you're not prepared to accept that, it's a bad position to take.

Yes. These are all responses designed to provoke for the sake of provocation. They're not even particularly trying hard at this point because the fishing is so good. Granted, it's because this kind of internet shenanigans is tone deaf as fuck, but that's their milieu.

Not really, it implies she was trying to get in. If police find someone breaking into a window they aren't legally allowed to just kill them.

and they can't use the excuse of "she was armed" because she was not and incapable of even a holding a weapon while climbing.
