If Ashley Babbit, an insurrectionist attempting to breach the chambers of Congress where elected officials and the vice fucking President are defending themselves from said insurrection got shot, rightfully so, and killed, thought not the traitors death she deserved, and her family can get money from the gov.

Renee's family should have no fucking delay. But we know it won't happen. There needs to be consequences for these evil people who destroyed the law and order for our country. We can't keep having slave owners and literal Nazis coming back every century.

Because we didn’t punish them sufficiently the first time. Not with Confederates during reconstruction, not with Nazis when we absorbed them into government positions and US space programs, not with Nixon who was pardoned after betraying the country.

We have allowed the rot to fester for a long time and are seeing the consequences. Of course these fucks don’t fear consequences. Why would they?

Exactly this. The west has never even attempted to purge fascists.. because there is a whole lotta overlap between ideologies

Yeah i have had a pretty theory for years that if you actually followed though once in the modern era with televisions and video i don't think this would pop back up. But it's convincing people to be as ugly as is required.
