    The Justice Department found that there was insufficient evidence to prove Babbitt’s civil rights had been violated, and that it was reasonable for the officer to have believed he was firing in self-defense or in defense of fleeing lawmakers, who were forced to evacuate from a session to certify Trump’s 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

    Terrorist. There should never be a story with her name without mentioning that she was a terrorist who was killed in defense of the Capitol building.

      Not a terrorist after a terrorist from there same faction gets into the highest pubic office.

      Unfortunately/sadly I’m not even being sarcastic. That is just how it works, what next gens get taught, & what the majority just accepts over time (until the regime change).

      We still celebrate plenty of historical monsters.

    How much are her family going to pay to the families of the other deceased from that day ? Maybe all that were incarcerated should be fined millions of dollars to help pay for compensation. Fuckwits the lot of them.

    Not because Trump gives a fuck about any random dipshit who gave their life for him, but because he knows it paints a target on the backs of the Babbitt family. He wants somebody to try taking their hard-earned tax dollars back from them, because he wants more violence. He’s pushing for civil escalations so he can justify martial law.
