“What would patriots do if they gained entrance en masse ? Probably chant. Maybe a sit-in.”

Given the patterns of the Tea Party Movement and their way of making statements, I tend to agree with you there.

>>The glass was already shattered by the time Ashli got there. Why weren't the cops already protecting it from further damage?<<

Good question, however Ashli was attempting to enter a barricaded area through the broken window. Not saying right or wrong...I just know I wouldn't do that.

Think about it. The door/windows are barricaded from the inside. Chaos all around, adrenaline pumping, evacuations underway for fear of violence, people smashing windows/furniture...and you're the cop on the inside of the barricade.

Back against the wall, ordered to protect whomever behind the barricade...you then see someone breaching the shattered glass and barricade.

Just setting the scenario. I don't believe they should have used deadly force, that was over the top, but again as I said in another post...these capitol police/white house secret service and who ever else charged with guarding stuff around D.C. are NOT playing around.

If it were me...yea, I probably one have been inside the building myself hoping to call Pelosi a corrupt loony politician, but when people started busting stuff up...i’d had been looking for the exit cuz I’dda known it was about to get real.

"It could be Secret Service (like I’ve heard elsewhere) or someone’s staffer. They need to identify who this asshole is and prosecute him. This clearly wasn’t self defense, just watching the guy."

Is Secret Service allowed to wear gold watches? I'd think they'd use a more useful watch.

This execution has a lot of circumstantial similarity to the George “Fentanyl” Floyd murder.

Each was (maybe) associated with a minor criminal offense (resisting arrest vs trespassing). In each, there was no danger to the killer LOE. And both were totally nonsensical and unnecessary.

Given the fact that all media is already shoveling dirt on the event, the President should ramp it up and draw attention to this.

Have this veteran buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors.

Add to that a White horse-drawn cemetery procession on a par with the George Floyd burial event would set media hair on fire.

Maybe even attendance with Donald J himself. Only a 1 minute helicopter ride across the river to stop in and pay respects...

“This was so plainly a choke point”

It was the entrance to the Speaker’s Lobby, which had been barricaded. In the background of the shooter, a few people could be seen crossing the hall. Perhaps they were in the process of evacuating members and staff.

Wrong place, wrong time?

Looks like the police were right there with her group when she was shot.

I’m reading the comments. Suddenly the liberals are for killing protestors.

If he’s a cop he won’t be prosecuted if he was adhering to procedure, but trying to get close enough to a woman already subdued by a bunch of cops to shoot without hitting the cops before zipping off again is not proper procedure in any book. I doubt any cop would do that, I’m betting it was some poly sci major on someone’s staff

Isn’t that interesting? You blame Trump’s legal team, of all people while I blame our feckless, useless non-”leaders”, our lying and deceiving media, the power-crazed democrats and the Soros-funded left, along with social media.

I wonder which of us really belongs on this forum.

I’m sorry but so many are living in a non existent world.

It will not be the shot heard around the world.

The narrative around the world will be she charged in a menacing way and was a raving maniac.

And ANY dirt (fake or real) that can be dug up on her will be thrown out there.

The majority still get their news from msm.

The vast majority.

Most people I know didn’t even know about 90 percent of the cheating that went on.

And the truth is most people don’t want to die.

This isn’t the 1700s where people led tough lives and were familiar with hard times.

Hard times today is not having a universal remote.

I got nothing to lose, I’m not married with kids.

But those guys with mortgages and car loans and children in school and good jobs aren’t gonna be so quick to leave and fight for the country.

It’s just the truth.

And if the army is gonna be made up of just guys like me, we’d be in a lot of trouble!!

“Entrance to Speaker’s lobby”

What citizen would have known what was down that hall?

What idiot security plan would have evacuated Queen Nancy to that location? Certainly that plan would go to a more secure armored/reinforced location with professional security staffing and weaponry, not some trigger happy jackass with a handgun.

Maybe this guy was assigned to shoot to kill anyone that even attempted to approach Nancy’s liquor cabinet or royal freezer with the month’s supply of gourmet ice cream.

Other folks crossing the hall in the background proves there was no perceived deadly threat on the other side of the barricaded doorway.

“A medic who saw the incident tried to go to her and help save her life. The police kept him away by force, and watched her die.”

Not true.

Apparently that one guy was a medic. He knelt down beside her and immediately removed supplies from his backpack. The police on the stairs tried to assist him. Haven’t you watched the video?

Yeah. The Bolsheviks can STORM something and it is peaceful protest. Our people can peacefully enter and we STORMED the damned Home of Satan in Sodom on the Potomac!!! The LORD God says clearly in His Holy Scriptures that in these End Times of human history, before the coming Tribulation period, that: "People will call GOOD EVIL and EVIL will be called GOOD!!!"

This is a clear sign of these very Last Days. GOD has clearly prophecies that these days were coming. Each and every one has come true in its time. GOD has turned the unbelieving, GOD rejecting world over to its DEPRAVED MINDS. He has said, this is what you want, then this is EXACTLY what you shall receive. Even good, law abiding, American people ARE GOD REJECTING in these last days. GOD, regardless of what some folks think, IS NOT sitting in Heaven on His throne, draped in the American flag. He sees everyone equal in this world until they come to repentance and accept the sacrifice of His beloved Son on the Cross on a hill called Calvary. Our time runs out. If folks refuse to believe and continue to reject, then the LORD is simply going to continue to back away from America, lowering our hedge of His protection and leave us to our devices, just as He has done to other nations that have rejected Him. I offer Great Britain as my primary evidence. Once the nation that the sun never set on, the UK has lost all its possessions around the world and the muslims have virtually taken over the nation. Reject Him at your own peril. That is His MESSAGE to America.

I'm not aiming this personally to you Enlightened1, your post was just the best I came to to respond to!!! :-) Have a good day. RA

The way he kind of lunged forward to shoot was not exactly shooting stance. But emotion and adrenaline running high. I can’t believe that bullet didn’t go through and hit someone else.

Which member of Congress killed her? Which member was armed when We, the People, can’t be armed inside our buildings? I only saw people armed with phones.

I can only hope marxist’s biden/harris are treated the same way Trump has been treated the last 4 years. Obviously the left will treat him like mao reincarnated but at least half this country should never accept them as duly elected.

A parabell comes to mind:

John 10:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He who enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Obviously this speaks of false shepherds in the spiritual. But in this case in the natural realme albeit with evil spiritual implications, the same could be said of a false leader having stolen his way in by theft.

I will never recognize these frauds as my president.
