From What? An unarmed protester in front of a half dozen police standing behind her with silenced rifles?
F-U Mullin!
This was cold-blooded MURDER, nothing less. The GOP is dead to me, except only as I can use my registration to wreck havoc on primary candidates.
She wasn’t trying to attack the shooter? So if he had to shoot, why not the knee? He shot to kill.
Conservative blood is very cheap there is no indication that crowd was a physical threat to anyone. I don’t believe they should be in the building without permission and I believe they should have been forcefully removed but killing a woman when there is no weapon and no physical threat? Furthermore I really have to emphasise that the video shows heavily armed police officers in the company of the protesters the moment she was shot. What kind of ridiculous decision was this?
Sounds like this slimeball was there. Does he have a habit of wearing French cuffs?
Murder is the correct word.
We don’t have choices either
Switch her colour to black in a leftist riot and you will not see a single Republican stand up to defend the officer and you will see incredible negative analysis of that video and the shooting. That’s just a fact.
Local law enforcement: Remember this the next time some politician sends you out to do their unconstitutional dirty work. Because you will never be provided protection like this by them. You are expendable.
This is pure horse shit because if you've watched the video of her shooting, she is the only one at the door. No one else is pushing on the door, in fact, nobody around her is even paying attention to her at the door. The majority of people all have their backs turned from her. It isn't until the shot rang out that people started looking around to see where it had come from.
Eff you and your precious, fragile congressmates.
I saw the video. A case could be made. It is obious she was the one climbing up and through the door. If you are going to illegally try to enter the capital violently (through a bvroken window), you just may get shot.
Sadly, one of the risks of being in a mob is that it skews your thinking, and you do things you would normally never do because you get caught up in the moment and are “empowered” by being surrounded by numbers of like minded people.
That is why, though her death is tragic, the shooter just may be able to make the case that the shooting was justified - from the perspective of a reasonable person in his shoes.
Sad but true. Fact is, if you are going to do what they did, you either take the place over and win, or back off. This is actually one of the reasons my wife and I didn’t go.
So " Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla." supports a 'stand your ground' law in Oklahoma against an unarmed female.
Interesting !
That’s bullshit. She was obviously unarmed and there was a wooden and glass structure between the officer and the woman. Beyond that, there is a tactical element from Capitol Police literally right behind her on the staircase when she’s shot. The first officer behind her actually aims his AR in the direction of the shot. Whatever she was doing, it wasn’t enough to attract the attention of armed officers much closer to her physically.
I hope people....especially his constituents....are tweeting this toad about what a liar he is. And, including Faux News in the admonishment, as well.
If this doesn’t wake people up and show them just how little the “little people” mean to our reps, then I don’t know what will. In addition to these atrocious comments by this moronic asshat, how many GOP reps have spoken out against the shooting? None? Really?!
Democrats AND Republicans in congress spent almost an entire year lecturing police about the need for non-lethal ways to apprehend criminals, but when an unarmed, female veteran with no criminal history is shot in their hallowed halls we get silence or outrageous comments like this. Unbelievable.
I’ve said it before, and I mean it — I’m done with ‘em.
Hey Rep. Markwayne Mullin, RINO-Okla:
Bring the guy forward. Let’s all laud him as a hero.
ML/NJ
I thought it was an “accidental discharge.” Now this goofball is saying it was INTENTIONAL???

Today, Representative Markwayne Mullin, R-OK stated on ABC News that, in reference to the Ashli Babbitt shooting: "the [police] lieutenant ... didn't have a choice at that time..." in shooting her. Ms. Babbitt, a veteran who served four tours of duty for our country -- sent there by the very representatives who vote in that building -- was plain and simply MURDERED. In cold blood. Ms. Babbitt was unarmed and surrounded at the time by Capitol Police. Unarmed trespassing and protest are NOT deadly force infractions. It is incumbent upon you and your colleagues to denounce this murder, and more importantly insist that the perpetrator is arrested and held responsible. To not do so would be a disgrace -- regardless of your politics or concerns about the Trump presidency.
I am truly incensed by Mullin's BS.

There’s not a single freeper who would have said the same thing if the person shot had been an ANTIFA or BLM attempting to break into the House.
“once you draw your weapon like that, you have to defend yourself with deadly force.”
Really? Did he shout out a warning to her? Did the several Police officers who each outweigh her by at least 50 pounds attempt to arrest her? Did he ask the other officers for help? Try shooting at an unarmed person without at least shouting out a warning even if they’re climbing through your window and you’ll end up in handcuffs in most states, especially if the person is half your size and you can physically handle them.
