>>Face your fears.

Lol. What?

>>Who got murdered Jan6 besides the patriotic veteran protester? BR

Ashli Babbitt was not murdered, nor was she a patriot. She was an insurrectionist who was lawfully killed by a police officer whose job it was to protect members of Congress, and who repeatedly warned her to stop as she was breaking her way through a barrier.

If you want to blame someone other than her for her death, blame the guy who drew her to the Capitol under the false premise that U.S. democracy had been stolen.

It would have been justified if more than that one person had been shot. The Capitol Police had every right, nay their duty, to defend themselves and the sanctity of the democratic process. If they weren't armed with tear gas but had guns, they should have used them - first as a warning and then to kill. It's called self-defense and doing their jobs.

If an angry mob breached the White House grounds and headed toward the WH when the Pres. was there, they'd surely be tear gassed and, if necessary, mowed down.

Serious questions for you. Do you blame Hillary Clinton for Benghazi? Do you blame Joe Biden for the withdrawal debacle from Afghanistan? Do you blame Donald Trump for Jan6? Do you think Ashli Babbit has any responsibility for her own demise? QED

It's not a perfect comparison, but the people who cast Ashli Babbit as a murder victim remind me a lot of the people who cast Michael Brown as a murder victim.
