One of the five people killed in the DC riots was a pro-Trump protester who was trampled to death, according to her friend.

Rosanne Boyland, of Kennesaw, Ga., died as the mob stormed the Capitol building, squaring off with police Wednesday.

The friend she was with, Justin Winchell, recalled her final moments as protesters began falling over one another.

“I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking [on top of her],” Winchell told CBS46. “There were people stacked two, three deep … people just crushed.”

Americans will never forgive the damage done by the liberals in the Stolen Election and its aftermath.

Not RIOTS. Obviously, the media does not know a RIOT when they see one.

This guy’s fault?:

When you are in a big mass of people, you must always keep
your wits about you. Do not place yourself in a position
that could become vulnerable to this sort of thing.

Remain on the side, so you can walk away.

Don’t stand in the center in front.

Read the crowd. How rowdy are they. If you aren’t careful,
this is what you will wind up dying of.

So sorry this took place.

And don’t trample over other people.

[DoughtyOne]

When people get shoving, it’s just impossible to stop them.

So you can say that’s your objective, but if people behind
you are shoving, you won’t be able to live up to it.

Being in front IS/NOT all it’s cracked up to be.

I thought she died of a severe asthma attack.

Bono supposedly made a name for himself pulling up a woman who was about to get killed at a concert from the smashing crowd

Later, people thought it was a publicity stunt and that she was never really in danger

But it could and does happen

also, it hacked off his fellow band members at the time

[tallyhoe]

I am sorry this all happened!

[McGruff]

What a misleading headline.

[Dr. Franklin]

Let's see: One unarmed woman was executed by Capitol Police for peacefully protesting.
One woman was trampled to death from the crowd control.
One Capitol policman had a heart attack or something after he returned to his office, and this is being blamed on the protesters.
Any other medical emergency death in DC is also being blamed on the crowd for propaganda purposes.
Rock concerts have had more fatalities, with fewer people.

This was a mostly peaceful protest.

This is the reason that it is wise to avoid mobs. RIP. Very sad.

[DoughtyOne]

To heck with what others think.

You do what you think is warranted at the time, and sort it
out later.

I detest the guy, but in this instance I think he did the
right thing as long as it was what it was, and wasn’t some
stunt.

Thanks for the mention.

This is the exact reason why we are directed to walk out the
exit in case of emergency.

We’re luck more weren’t killed.

Kennesaw is hardly a breeding ground for ANTIFA

Just saying

As Freepers desperately look for someone to blame

I tried to stay at the edges of the crowd and I refused to go over a solid wall close to the building, on the west side. I also usually will not walk in big groups between bicycle racks because that is a favorite tactic for funneling demonstrators into a dead end situation where mayhem breaks out. The crowd on most of the west side was fine, but the ones up on the balconies were braver than I was.

I don’t think so.

She was just one of us peasants.

Not important like a politician.
