    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.

        Words have meaning. Terrorists are terrorists even after they take power. You’re not wrong, though.

    Why do the systems we depend on to run a fair society always give so much of our taxes to the worst people?

      The YouTube creator CGPGrey has a video that’s an easy to digest summary of power structures and the incentives throughout. It’s the answer to your question.

      Because she was one of “Dear Leader’s” followers. Same reason why the orange fucktard pardoned everybody else who broke into the capitol.

        So it’s not that her family won a court case or anything? The government just decided to give them compensation?

    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.
