Her Twitter account was focused much of the time on anti-BLM messages and #BlackLivesDontMatter, and similar. That's my reference. You can still look this up, if curious. No, this was not mentioned as a justification for killing her. It was merely a description. If you've seen the videos, she was obviously shot because she was entering a place in the Capitol building that was obviously protected by a security guard on the left with a gun pointed directly at her. It's quite clear in the videos, and yet she tried to jump into his path and that of his gun. She was shot because she was trespassing to a portion of the Capitol building that was protected by an armed guard. Understood?

As u pointed out, she was in airforce security forces. As a result, she likely believed they would react with restraint and proportion. She was wrong. You dont shoot an unarmed woman in the neck, no decent human being would do that. She was an American citizen in her own country, in her own capital. As for the "VIP"s that would supposedly be endangered by the prescence of an unarmed woman they supposedly serve, nobody seemed to care when Antifa surrounded Josh Hawley's house with his wife and child inside and banged on the door. Nobody shot those people dead despite the peril they placed a "VIP" and his children in.

Those congressmen faced far less of a threat than ordinary Americans facing mobs of armed antifa/blm roaming their neighborhoods and beating people with impunity while these congressmen did nothing. Excuse me if I'm not broken up over them possibly facing a fraction of what their citizens have had to face.

Thanks for this. We certainly disagree, however, as many of the terrorists were armed, and some of them heavily armed with ARs.

1) This is very different from the small percentage of BLM protestors, who were also quite far from the Capital building.

2) There are no organized antifa.

3) It was unknown at that time of the invasion who was armed. Many of the protestors had concealed-carry guns. There was thus the potential that she also had one or more weapons.

4) Anyone trespassing in the Capitol building should expect the potential of getting shot, given the necessity to protext congresspeople, who are often threatened with assassination.

Just say you want people you disagree with dead. You people view racism worse than actual violence you guys have such fucked up priorities.

You clearly dropped "she was a racist" the same way someone would drop "he was a child abuser" to justify or dismiss her death.

She's definitely a racist, and I doubt I "agree" with her, but again: if you, I, or anyone attempt to storm the Capitol building and get shot for doing so, we have only ourselves to blame.

(And as you've likely seen in the news, many are wondering why more of these terrorists were not shot.)
