Ashli Babbitt did not hide her far-right political views. Outside her San Diego bungalow, located blocks from the beach, she flew both an American flag and a QAnon flag emblazoned with a giant Q and the acronym WWG1WGA, for “Where we go one, we go all.” She plastered her SUV with pro-Trump bumper stickers and a Blue Lives Matter flag. On the door of the local pool-servicing company that she ran with her husband, uncle, and brother, a poster declared it to be a “mask free autonomous zone, better known as America” and added, “If you need to wear a mask outside, I’m not sure we can help you.”
Even so, people close to Babbitt said they had no idea how devoted she was to Donald Trump and his movement until they saw her with a mob inside the U.S. Capitol. Wearing a Trump flag over her shoulders, Babbitt made it as far as a cloakroom just off the House floor when she climbed through a window and was shot by a Capitol police officer on the other side. Babbitt, 35, later died of her injuries. Now her family members are trying to reconcile their own image of the feisty but private woman they knew with the one who stormed Congress as part of a violent mob that called for the killing of lawmakers.
“I actually saw it first on video when I was on the phone with multiple hospitals trying to find her,” said Kayla Joyce, 29, who said she is the mutual live-in girlfriend of Babbitt and her husband, Aaron. “We found out through the news. Through live television.”

AGREE!
Desperate Propaganda
yes nice example, now swap the pistol for a 40cal hot round fill glock. Penetrate and fragment, but her tiny frame would Not be able to have held the shock waves from the impact and as it is a hollow structure , the chest, it is rip rend and tear and out the back, 12 inches at best.
Jelly rubber, mass organ rupture and out the back it drains, and it does Not look like a 3 inch puddle.
Ask someone who has seen a buddy tagged by a similar round it is Not just a paper cut.
GainI make the point he was Not using a hot round Nor was he using a target round “if we are to believe” he shot what? Not a slash from the pistol, not a tiny flash blur, you ever seen a video slomo of a pistol fire a round.
Check.
Let me brush my teeth. I think some of the bs from this pos article sprayed into my mouth.
Face shields for COVID are bs, but you might want to wear one during high-risk activities - such as reading the mainstream media.
Her family and friends were concerned about that since she was flying clear across the country....so she agreed to phone contacts every 30 minutes as they tell it.
Actually she paid a very heavy price for what seems to be a simple case of stupidity. This went far from just a protest ...breaking down doors and windows, rushing and pushing past cops, shouting to locate specific legislators.....the thing about riots, which this had become and she was an active participant in, is they're unpredictable and people often get hurt. To call what was happening inside that hallway as a protest is ridiculous...it wasn't.
Desperte times call for action. If it seemed like more than a protest it certainly did not seem like an armed incursion. In fact no firearms are seen or known among the demonstrators including the provocateurs. You certainly enjoy calling Ashli “stupid” at every opportunity but she was more than just a keyboard warrior. She didn’t just sit on her hands while America was being sold out. She was unarmed, unthreating, and was murdered.
Stupid? I will bet it is the same word King George III used to describe colonial patriots.
It was a riot with a violent crowd....A Capitol Police officer was overpowered and beaten, A woman killed in a crush of rioters, One man had a stroke, and another a heart attack - people using baseball bats and fists, breaking glass and barricaded doors...... that is NOT a peaceful protest! It’s a violent riot!.....and Ashli was fully a participant of that violence.
That tactic just won’t work with me so you can stop right there.
According to previous riots being called protests, this protest was less violent and destructive.
This wasn’t desperation it was an out of control violent mob. It is NOT what Pres. Trump asked of the people, in fact just the opposite.
The other protests they called for violence.......Trump specifically said NO violence.
That lady in the videos was shot and was obviously dying in the videos that have been available. That look of shock is something that actors in movies never get right. I have seen one hell of a lot of people shot and killed, in person - and that lady was shot.
I’m still waiting for Trump to acknowledge the sacrifice of this brave patriot who died on his behalf. So far, just crickets from him. Not good, not good at all.
While I respect your position on what you state you have No idea what I nor my wifes past and present experiences entail.
Maybe less time at tossing bravado statements at people to “shut it” in public, you would get a better response to a private message.
BTW, I hope you have seen the spliced timeline video of the incident.
If not we can provide it.
Hope you have a great day
Blessings.
She was murdered - and her killer is going to get away with it because the whole apparatus is designed allow this kind of thing to happen with no repercussions.
When you do this very public "this was a false flag thing" in a public forum, expect public blowback.
If you are, in fact, a combat veteran, then please let me know when and where and what units you were in. I served for 17 months in combat with the Marines in Vietnam, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines.
For some comparisons Paul Harrell does some excellent shooting videos. Some comparing various ammo. He uses Leather jacket simulating skin, Pork chops pectorals, Ribs on the front. Oranges for lung tissue, Ribs on the back, Leather jacket skin on the back. Several layers of clothing. and a backstop. Many times the back ribs are broken and the backstop entered from various handgun rounds, i think he is usually 7 yards out.
Are you kidding me? President Trump did not ask her to break into the Capitol on his behalf. That's ludicrous. You sound like you drank the Antifa/MSM/Troll Kool Aid.
