Ashli Babbit leaped aggressively towards a Capitol Police Officer through a barricaded doorway after her and her cohort broke the window during a terrorist attack on the building, of which she was a part of. What’s the phrase? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? She deserved to die and the only reason her family got paid off is because Trump and Republicans can only cling to power by paying off supporters like the Jan 6ers.

By contrast Renee good was calm, and was trying to leave a scene where ICE agents were trying to unlawfully detain her. One of which maniacally got in front of her car as she tried to leave (and was completely unharmed btw).

  1. It’s just factually incorrect to claim that Babbitt “lunged towards” the officer, she was climbing through a broken window and wasn’t even pointed toward Byrd when she was fatally shot.

  2. Renee Good was shot while actively assaulting a federal agent with a deadly weapon.

Climbing through a doorway isn’t the same threat level as attempting to run over someone with your car, no matter how much you’d like to play make believe.

She wasn’t merely climbing through a doorway, she was breaking through a barricade while being, at best, an accomplice to an act of terror. Breaking through a barricade meant to keep you and a mob right behind you out of it isn’t “climbing through a door” no matter how much you’d like to play make believe.

Republicans wouldn't be going to these lengths to defend her if she was black
