Police Officers Involved in George Floyd’s Death Were Suspended the Next Day – After More than a Month We Still Don’t Know Who Shot Ashli Babbitt [And how come there's no mention of her autopsy or funeral in the news?]
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 7, 2021 | Joe Hoft

In May of 2020 George Floyd died in Minneapolis during an arrest. One police officer kneeled on his neck for 8 minutes. The gruesome death led to protests around the country and the four policemen involved were fired the day after Floyd’s death.

Last month four Trump supporters died on January 6th in Washington DC yet we don’t know in detail how the four Trump supporters died since we’ve seen no investigative reports nor autopsies. One victim, in particular, was Ashli Babbitt who was gunned down by a policeman at the capitol during the protests. To date, this officer’s name has not been released. After more than a month we don’t know who killed an unarmed Trump supporter in the Capitol.

Apart from what was in multiple publications in the UK press by 15th January, most attributing their source to Kusi News and reusing the same photos. This is the most comprehensive one:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9147335/Dead-MAGA-mobster-Ashli-Babbitt-Marine-ex-husband-THROUPLE-bartender.html

It’s a hatchet job and the Daily Heil is a troll rag, so read with care- but it does also say the family wanted no fuss, not even a headstone.

Their source posted this six days ago, citing the NYT as its source:

https://www.kusi.com/u-s-capitol-police-lieutenant-who-fatally-shot-ashli-babbitt-capitol-stormer-unlikely-to-be-charged/

Precis: MPD of DC is ongoing but a preliminary federal investigation into the use of excessive force (standard procedure) concluded there was insufficient evidence of excessive force.

A few things to bear in mind:

1. News outlets recycle the information they get from each other. As do the pro-Trump sources. Even QAnon only has the power it has because everybody’s quoting each other and thinking quantity of recycling equals quality. The internet is a hotbed of confirmation bias.

2. If you ever get to the position where you think “This source has it, and that source has it too, so it must be true!” and source B got it from source A, then it’s just gossip.

3. Any assumption should pass the litmus test of objective scrutiny. If any theory sounds way too complicated or far-fetched to be credible, and the original source for it is anonymous, it probably isn’t true at all.

Here’s what we know - objectively. Multiple live camera streams from multiple angles show a load of people trying to break down two closed doors in the Capitol building. Those camera streams show a shooter and two other people appearing behind those doors while it’s being smashed at. As soon as they see the shooters, all the people trying to break the doors down stop doing what they’re doing, shout warnings to each other, and gesture. THEN, Ashli climbs through the window, THEN the shot is fired.

Conspiracy theorists have migrated from saying that this was flat-out textbook premeditated murder of a patriot, caught on camera by patriots, to it being captured on camera entirely by Antifa with Ashli being the only patriot in the room, to the entire thing being orchestrated by Antifa but it did happen, to it now being “the whole thing was deep-faked.”

I’d put money on QAnon coming out with “open marriage, lesbian relationship, doesn’t want a military send-off -—> Ashli is an Antifa plant” in the next couple of weeks, and suddenly it’ll be the biggest revelation since Watergate and some random Cigarette Smoking Man on Q will be lauded as the whistleblower in chief.

If anyone here looks objectively at the chain of theory and the journey it’s already gone through in the conspiracy industry, they’d think it’s time to open an online business selling Brooklyn Bridges, and advertise it through QAnon. These people REALLY will buy any old pony.

It isn’t just the liberal press saying “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia” one day and “we’ve never been at war with Eastasia” the next, to a crowd of people with memories like goldfish, who accept the complete contradiction of yesterday’s news without any question.

There’s just as much Orwellian bull circulating in the QAnon camp.

They were definitely trying to enrage the crowd using her death ...that doesn’t mean she was acting or wasn’t actually killed, it just means there were some folks composed enough to see it as an opportunity instantly, assuming it wasn’t planned street theater.

It’s just interesting that the press isn’t curious about the details.

I respect your views, but defend the majority of views including mine that it was faked, have you looked at the Video of the spliced and timestamped events we had up here?

When you have please come back and give us your opinion again.

So you have not watched the movie in slow mo either?

Please do so , because just listing talking points that offer no debunking of the video facts in any way that is visually seen then all they are is talking points.

They do hit all the right “buzz words” for disinformation and disdain of what many on here work hard at producing as verifiable visual facts.

Hope to hear from you after you review the Video.

Blessings

We do now know who shot Babbit: a Capitol Police officer, BLM member, who had bragged on FB about wanting to kill a white woman. Individual was an immigrant from Brazil.

Who are you trolling for? Find a death certificate for Ashley Babbit. Better yet, find a DC Metro Police Report of her death. Which hospital was she taken to? Transported by which ambulance service or EMS? None. Because they don’t exist.
How about school, university, or military records? Nada. Nothing. She’s fictional.

The federal government is no longer “of, for and by the people”. It does NOT answer to the people. It is now the dog of despotic oligarchs. Scum, who are trying to set up their progeny to be future “royalty”. You simply stand in their way. But, that’s not a problem for them. They now have their THUGS to do their murder, rape and robbery for them. It is no longer “our” government. It is now their cudgel against us.

I don’t think the school shootings were hoaxes, nor am I a 9/11”truther,” so I’m not sure why you threw those out. I know very well 9/11 was a terrorist attack. For that matter I also believe the Earth is an oblate spheroid, that US astronauts did indeed land on the moon, and I think Qanon followers are nuttier than a squirrel’s dinner.

This incident is different, perhaps because it was preceded by a 4 year long coup attempt against an elected president based on a hoax and carried out by the very people and media who now control the narrative of Jan 6 ...and who keep lying or at least keep misleading the public on the causes of death of people there on that day in order to score political damage on a person they hate. The constant lying is bound to make people doubt the official story, if anything it would be foolish to accept the official story now. I assume she is dead, but maybe her death was preplanned, without her knowledge, by those who immediately went out to incite the crowd with news of it. It’s just interesting that the press hasn’t inquired too deeply about her and how she ended up dying right where a wanna-be videographer was ready and waiting to record it.

I was once a LEO. The thug that murdered Ashli Babbit is NO LEO! He wasn’t placed on leave, pending a review board. He didn’t face any review board. Back in my day, and even today, a true LEO shoots somebody, it’s in the papers, the news. THIS isn’t in ANY news. The reason is because he wasn’t a LEO. He is a federal government assassin who is paid to kill us! As far as the federal government is concerned, he did EXACTLY what they paid him to do. He won’t be disciplined or punished. He will be rewarded! Look up lon yoriuchi. That should let you know where you stand.

With 3-4 SWAT officers crouching behind her.

Crouching? Gee, I wonder why?

Oh yeah, then there’s that “hot pursuit” afterwards of the shooter

Not

This is the only obituary I can find on Ashli Babbitt.

Does this look anything like an obituary you've seen before? What is Inside Eko?

None of the New Zealand shooting victims were buried off the island. This fake story makes the rounds to say otherwise, but it’s entirely fake.

Twenty-six of the 50 victims were done in one single mass funeral in Christchurch on 22 March 2019.

Compare the photos of the aftermath of Sandy Hook and the DC shooting with those of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/paris-magazine-attack/image-inside-charlie-hebdo-office-reveals-bloody-aftermath-paris-attack-n282521

The worst I saw at Sandy Hook was the broken front glass, a dark spot on some old carpet, and a chair tipped over next to a table with some stacks of paper on it.

At the D.C. shooting, a small puddle of blood at the top of the stairs and a few very small drops on the stairs as they carried her down.

Just things to think about. (The Charlie Hebdo scenes are VERY bloody and chaotic).

The problem with the protest in dc was that it was misdirected. Direct the same ire at the proper targets, and then you’ll start getting some results. Martha’s Vineyard, the hamptons, hollywood, any hiding place of that evil soros is. Quit directing your ire at their lapdogs.

My reply was not just directed to you, but to the direction the thread was generally going. As well as all the QAnon garbage that got Marjorie Taylor Greene placed on Double Secret Probation.

One angle that may be worth pursuing is the actual cause of death of Officer Sicknick. I’ve seen reports that the DC coroner’s office doesn’t think it was a blow to the head with a fire extinguisher.

It’s possible he was allergic to something he inhaled, such as bear spray. But it seems very convenient for the rabid left-wing partisans that an officer died somehow, apparently at the hands of protesters.

[ It wasn’t a hoax. The school shootings weren’t hoaxes either. Neither was 9/11.

The number of people who would have to be involved in the conspiracy to fake such events is far too large. With no leaks.

Sorry, none of those theories pass the bullsh:t test.

However, three things are clear. Ashli Babbitt was murdered. The officer who murdered her should go to prison for life (he was immediately placed on administrative leave pending an investigation). And if she had been black, participating in a Black Lives Matter riot, her face would already appear in a mural on the side of a building in every major city in America. ]
