Agreed without reservation.
Not necessarily. Many more men than women wear French cuffs. Many men wear bracelets. Look at the surroundings. It's all men. A woman would have stood out like a sore thumb. Looks like a male who dresses well. A male who is either a member of Congress or a senior staff member.
Too many people know who did it. If the shooter is a white guy, the news will leak out.
Assuming that what you wrote is accurate, why did only one police officer fire at only one protestor? Why were there no warnings issued (or were there?) Why was no tear gas or other non lethal response deployed before the mob approached the perimeter where lethal force would be used (or was there?)
The handling of the police response suggests gross incompetence at the very least.
Yes, more likely = not necessarily.
We’d appreciate knowing, either way. A legislator has already defended the person, so the legislator ought to be pressed for an answer.
All I have read is that the murderer was placed on ‘administrative leave’, meaning he gets a free vay-cay.................
You must be kidding.
PENCE praised him.................
I read somewhere that the shooter was under investigation, but he was not named.
She served in the Air Force, not in Congress. How was she to know it was the "final defensive position?" Some visual clue? The whites of their eyes?
By the way, if there is a "final defensive position" in the Capitol bldg, it should be somewhere past the sign "EXIT."
“Paid leave”, kinda like when Michael Corleone was sent to Italy until things calmed down.
Just what I heard. Obviously not true. In the video it looked like he was wearing a suit.
Careful with “he”, as the the official statement is tortuously worded:
“a sworn USCP employee discharged their service weapon...”
” the USCP employee has been placed on administrative leave and their police powers have been suspended pending...”

The BS Flag is on the field, Marine:
1. There were no warnings posted, no signs, no bullhorns warning anyone that this was a "shoot first, ask questions later" zone.
2. The man shooting Ashli aimed at her without any advance warnings for some time before firing, then fired a killing shot with deliberation. Since when are American citizens shot to death out of hand?
3. There were several armed Capitol Police officers next to, and behind Ashli when she was shot: one actually aimed his weapon at the source of the shot momentarily. If this zone was "kill immediately without warning" zone, why did the other officers calmly watch?
4.You are condoning a policy that is anathema to American citizens and our rights under the Constitution. This wasn't invading a nuke site, this wasn't an armed insurrection, this was a group of ordinary Americans who were trying to get the government's attention while they were voting on our future,
Ashli was murdered - and by excusing the man who did this, you are trying to justify it.
I have a screen shot from the video. It was a black guy, in a suit. SS or congressman?
Great, keep it safe and post it when you see ppl yelling it’s a woman.
Lying eyes stuff.... Thank you.
Respects.
She is alive and well according to totally reliable lawyer Lin Wood:

I stated there was problems with the security break down. As for final defensive positions, they are never marked. What ever imagination you have in your head doesn’t comport with reality.
I am also concerned there was no forceful command. But from the officer’s point of view, all other police have failed and he is facing multiple intruders with a principle task of protecting Congress.
She was not murdered. Murder has a specific definition and this will fail to meet the standard. Manslaughter won’t meet the test in these circumstances.

Final protective positions do not call for non-lethals. Ever.
The lack of a forceful command concerns me, it is part of training; but if he thinks he doesn’t have time.....it becomes subjective. He is only thinking about protecting his principals.
Why only one shooter? Each person has a reaction time. There was incompetence, but not the shooter.
Again that nagging itch of logic verses reality kicks in.
After 911.
Last line fall back position.
Security doors, mechanical drop cross bars, doors sheet steel with timber finishings, make them look nice.
Windows in said doors.
Minimum multi sheeted bullet resistant.
So. Givel logic and lying eyes test then the security of the Capital building internal Last lines, or even First lines of security are home depot old world style POC.
Given that we have video of Antifa EXTERNALLY, breaking through several windows using plexiglass type shield.
Unless I am wrong, if that is the level of physical security, choke point or evsc route systems we are lucky that the knitting circle of the east side knitters for Trump did not attack the capitol.
They would have destroyed everything.
Sorry. Not PC... Anyone thinking the main foyer of the Capitol egress doors are the last line level security needs to visit a 7-11 in the hood and see what defendable security setups really are.
Sorry you may find this offensive, it is not personal.
It’s them lying eyes of logic seeing what they see.
Respects.
