Family of Ashli Babbitt Files $30 Million Lawsuit Against the Government over Her Death on Jan. 6

Ashli

The family of Jan. 6 protester Ashli Babbitt has filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the government, saying she posed no threat to anyone when she was killed.

Babbitt was fatally shot trying to enter a secured area inside the U.S. Capitol Building the day the Capitol riot took place three years ago. The 14-year Air Force veteran was unarmed at the time, as she tried to climb through a broken window in a door near the House Chamber.

The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Southern California, alleges that Babbitt was ambushed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot her.

“Ashli posed no threat to the safety of anyone,” the lawsuit reads.

In August of 2021, the Capitol Hill Police Department conducted an internal investigation and concluded that Byrd had violated no laws and would not be disciplined for the shooting.

“USCP officers had barricaded the Speaker’s Lobby with furniture before a rioter shattered the glass door,” the department said following the investigation, according to CBS News. “If the doors were breached, the rioters would have immediate access to the House chambers. The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and USCP policies and procedures.”

The lawsuit also accuses the Capitol Police of assault and negligent use of force.

Thanks, RKTman. I post rarely and when I do I strive to insure it hasn't been put up before. I don't check "chat" for important stuff.

Guy from "Network" and Princess Diana of Themascura: 30 million is indeed nothing in the eyes of those distributing our money while never legitimately earning their own. Look how the masses of Biden-invited illegal aliens not only get an instant "green card" but a $5000 gift card, too. Multiply that for the millions who got in last year alone and we're talking real money (not counting all the other services they're let slide by to use).

My point being that this dual tier of justice where we real citizens are screwed over by our government while our erstwhile replacements are treated far better while violating multiple laws HAS TO STOP.

The poor guys in the gulag were unfairly worn down by bad treatment and conditions to plea-deal rather than fight for their cases in a city utterly corrupted by the Democrat machine. Some cry President Trump could have pardoned them while the fact escapes them that they were all incarcerated AFTER he was out of office.

With God's will (I pray) he'll regain that office and set that much aright.

Yes, DarkWing; the system of juror selection that worked well for so long seems to have been corrupted as well due to lawyers running favors for each other over the long game.

In District of Columbia it's an art form where the DA's rule, the defenders are just serving time before getting to prosecutor and nearly all the judges could use a little dance in the air.

It will remain that way if people go along with your depressingly negative tagline. Patriots are still breathing and the fat lady's still just warming up.

I wondered if the Ashli-is-not-dead kook show narrated by the Sham Wow Guy wannabe would pop up on this thread and was not disappointed.

Step away from the Rumbles (or at least keep it on the Special Q Thread where it belongs). She’s dead, Jim.

Mohamed Noor is a fellow African cop to African American cop Michael Byrd. Mohamed shot Justine Damond in the stomach while she was talking to Mohamed’s partner and killed her. Byrd shot another woman, Ashli Babbitt, a participant in the Jan 6 stroll through the US Capitol Building by a group of American Citizens.

So, both men killed innocent women. Both cops were black. Both women were white.

Noor spent about 5 years in prison. Byrd has been hiding in a luxury government home on Andrews AFB.

At a minimum, Byrd should be prosecuted and similarly sentenced to at least 5 years, if not 20, and many Americans would like to see him spend said 5 years in Florence, Colorado meditating on the moment he pulled that trigger.

The POS LYING murderer was actually PROMOTED and still is on the capitol police force.

The Capitol Police lieutenant who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt to death during the Capitol incursion will be promoted to captain, according to a new report.

Had to (gladly) unfollow someone on X...posted a very disrespectful picture of her mocking her death. It’s unreal how heartless the left is.

I doubt much will come of this as it will be stonewalled at every turn. The establishment cannot allow discovery because their perfidy becomes exposed. I’m sure threats, intimidation, and financial settlement will proceed in that order. Persistence and relentlessness will be required of the plaintiffs. God speed.

10-to-1 odds the family gets severely punished for filing this lawsuit.

I take comfort that Nancy has paved her path to eternal torment with such absolute certainty that even the bogus Pope was obviously frightened of her presence (knowing he's in a similar boat).

But while God sorts them out after passing we're responsible for these villains while they're still here. First we have to re-establish recognizing the insane and insuring they're humanely confined until they've regained sanity, if that actually happens (and it can - check out Pennsylvania's Senator).

Half is the fault of political establishment's putting over candidates as "good" when they're actually beholden to those establishments for the finance money to get there (Catch 22 if you're not rich) and the other half is the public being willfully ignorant of the process, preferring indulgence in bad habits while accepting the lies fed to them from the mass media totally in sync with the ruling party.

It's actually very ironic that the word "woke" is applied to those brainwashed by our corrupted educational system and mass media to believe that out government's leftward drift to total control is beneficial for everyone when the word is better applied to those aware of our government's war against we patriots.

The case will go no where because of sovereign immunity.

I hear you. I read so many posts here I should be paid for it because this is where real Americans are. Regardless of that we all have the duty to do the best we can while we can while we're here. That's the obligation of American citizenship utterly lost on the masses of illegals this usurping administration is ushering in but I speak of that problem all over.

We are at a point where the Left, having corrupted the last election and bullying tactics in key states and then blatantly allowing Arizona's Secretary of State,in charge of election rulings, remained in that position while running for gubernatorial office to determine that she was the winner over her vastly-more-preferred challenger?

Usurping Hobbs just vetoed a measure to limit illegal immigration into Arizona, which is being inundated by the invasion Biden invited in like all other border states. I can't see why we can't say "No, we're full. Fix you're own countries."

And, after watching the video, it was cold-blooded premeditated murder and nothing less. That scumbag with a badge was hiding in the corner behind two doors barricaded with chairs. He held his pistol up ready to fire for at least two minutes until the three cops between him and the crowd finally moved out of the way, giving him a clear line of fire. He was never in any danger whatsoever, and made sure he had the angle to get a clean shot at Babbit without hitting any cops in front or behind her. How this guy escaped criminal prosecution is beyond me. Watch the video:
