      She was likely a victim of the maga extremism indoctrination and social media, this is a bit distasteful

        Every Nazi is a victim of extremism indoctrination. They don’t get a pass for that. She was a domestic enemy to the United States and died attacking our country. She deserves zero respect.

        The world became a slightly better place when she died.

        “Just following orders” is not an excuse no matter how it’s veiled.

        She took part in a violent insurrection with the ultimate goal of overturning an election and destroying democracy.

        She had every opportunity to no being a cesspool of bigotry, racism and fascist supporter. Instead she chose at every option to continue her path.

        To be a victim of maga extremism, you must already be bigoted enough to think that it is a reasonable opinion to have to want black and LGBT people to die. She deserved what she got.

          Wasn’t it more conspiracies about democracy being compromised?

        idk how else to downplay supporting trump at this point.

        public shaming is the last line of defense we have against these types of people since polite conversation clearly doesn’t work once you put the red hat on. what alternatives do you suggest? 🙂

        You’re so right, she obviously doesn’t deserve to be derided, we should show her love and support because she died, it wasn’t her fault she was indoctrinated like this.

        For good measure, let’s posthumously pardon the Nazis that murdered hundreds or thousands of people and were later killed when their camps were taken. They were just victims of the Nazi extremism indoctrination and media, it’s a bit distasteful that people still slander them /s

        The sexualisation and humiliation of a person who cant object or consent is whats getting me.

        people will excuse themselves of a lot when they don’t like someone.

        I abaolutely do not care that she died, and her politics cant be handwaved away with ‘she was indoctrinated’, which would also equate to her having no agency. She knew what she was doing.

    I’m lost. Is Babbitt not the chick who cut her abusive husband’s dick off to great media attention in the 90s? (Weird AL put it in a song fucking legend). What does this have to do with Tonald Drump?

      No Ashli Babbitt was the one person who was killed by police while attempting to overthrow the US Government on January 6th, 2021

      Also fun fact: Conservative “Activist” group Judicial Watch filed a wrongful death lawsuit on her behalf earlier this year, which in my opinion spits in the face of all actual victims of police brutality.

      You described Lorena Bobbitt more or less. Ashli Babbitt was a Jan 6 rioter (at the u.s. capitol) shot by police.

      Fuck this timeline.

      I think you’re overlooking the potential.

      I don’t give up on anybody because they all have the potential to have their Ebenezer Scrooge moment and change until they no longer have any moments.

      The potential for Ashlii Babbitt to become a good and upstanding contributing member of society was lost because of her blind following of the orange turd.

      That is her fault. It’s still a sad thing.

      I feel bad for her but I feel worse for the person who felt like they had no other choice but to shoot that woman, and I am glad that it only took one bullet to stop the insurrection.
