One point you and I have really driven home on this is that opinions vary in the world of armchair judges.
Of course, considering the number of 5/4 SCOTUS decisions, opinions vary even among the highest judges in the land.😜

True that. As the saying goes, opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one! But here’s the thing. When two opinions are diametrically opposite, one of them has to be WRONG, and if that is the one on which life and death decisions are based, what follows can be tragic. Example: That moron pretending to be POTUS had an opinion about how best to withdraw from Afghanistan. A life and death decision was made based on his opinion. Needless to say what followed was tragic!
Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Gunned down: to shoot (someone) with a gun.
He was gunned down in the street.
“...as she stormed passed the metal detectors and security screening...”
“...the person busting into the inner capital...”
Ahhh...So you were there!!!!
How else could you know and claim she “stormed” and “busted”???
Yep. But look at the bright side: We’re not discussing from “complete” knowledge.
My take is as follows: I imagine that it was me that was coming through the window, and apply the known evidence to that. I then imagine it was me doing the shooting, and apply the known evidence to that.
In the end, I come up with my personal opinion regarding what I think happened. But I don’t know how the shooter was briefed before this happened, among other things. So my opinion is only based on what I do “know”.
Her climbing through the busted window is on video.
We know there was no security screening because the capital was closed to guests.
definition: storm in. 1. To enter (some place) in a blustery, angry fuss.
So you saw her “bust” the window...
And you also her in a blustery, angry fuss...
Yeah...riiiiiight....
Where did I say she busted the window? Learn to read.
Her stupid actions helped make the whole Trump presidency end on a sour note, to the cheers of Democrats, who finally scored a win.
Your post:
“...There is no hypothetical. Ashli was killed attempting to breach a secure area. No one could possibly know for sure whether she or her followers were armed, as she stormed passed the metal detectors and security screening. Did the SWAT team really make a radio broadcast saying the person busting into the inner capital was harmless...”
You have constantly referred to the “busted” window and your above post refers to her “busting” into the...
Correct. I said busting into. Synonym of breaking into. I don’t know who actually broke the window— do you? Maybe it was her, maybe she just lead the charge after it was broken by her companions. Maybe a left wing agitator broke it. Was still breaking and entering.
But you’re quibbling over semantics. How would you describe it? She gracefully entered the inner capital by crawling through a window broken by unknown perpetrators while the SWAT team gave her tacit approval and encouragement?
Feel free to describe it using whatever adjectives you think best describes her actions.
“...the SWAT team gave her tacit approval...”
Evidently they did as they were several standing beside and behind her when she was murdered...
They were NOT trying to stop her per the video...
I know. I’ve seen the video of capital police holding the doors open for protesters. Some of the security seemed to want to see chaos. And yes, someone with common sense should have tried to stop her.
Well, I’m through with this subject...I’ve enjoyed our discussion...It’s refreshing to discuss a topic with differing opinions without anyone resorting to name calling and such...
See you in another thread one day, I’m sure...Take care...
Says the guy who was gone for 6 years after complaining a post being yanked.
Took a FR break. Switched to Reddit and Twitter where the topics and discussions are undeniably better. But their anti-Trump corporate bias got me pissed enough to boycott them.
Wow you are certifiable: "Reddit and Twitter where the topics and discussions are undeniably better"?
Why don't you just go back to both and stay the f there? LOFL.
Because it's an absolute certainty that from 10/28/2012 - 10/3/2018 you didn't support FreeRepublic with cold hard cash for those 6 years, and those were some lean years until we flushed Obama.
And you brag about the dubious 'quality' of your 'commentary' and yet you didn't even lend that much to the 2016 election here, that was fought and won as much on FreeRepublic as was 2000 and 2004.
So I say this in all genuine Freeper fellowship: Piss off.
