    have YOU seen the video of it? She was breaching the last line of defense before getting to legislators. What....pray tell, do you think she was going to do if she were not stopped?

    God damn, quit bending over backwards to infantalize armed fascists storming the capitol. She was not selling loose cigarettes. She was not trying to enter her car. She was trying to overthrow the governement.

    If you try to overthrow the government, you should expect one of two outcomes:

    1. You succeed
    2. You die

    She died, and I don't feel bad for her. Neither should you. If you sympathize with a dead fascist then I really have to question your leanings.

      Obviously install a fully functional fascist regime because as we know systems of governance function on king of the hill rules

        if 1/3 of the government is assassinated, then you effectively have a power-vacuum. Whether or not they held the building like the fucking Alamo is irrelevant. We would have been thrown into a crisis

          If they had killed a member of congress the entire thing could have blown wide open.

          Not like a civil war, just massive chaos and destabilization.

      Also if she gets through that window, you'd better believe that every chud behind her is going to follow suit. Her dying for doing chud shit was very far from the worst possible outcome.

      If that were a crowd of leftists, they would have been mowed down before they even made it into the building.

        There is a disturbing trend on this board to hand-wave away fascist violence because of how buffoonish it often is and because it is often directed at a liberalism that is often hostile to leftism. But that is a dangerous reflex, and I'm not sure if the people engaging in that strand of thinking are even aware of the bedfellows they are attracting.

            Supposed leftists profess to desire a revolution but dread the conditions that could possibly make one feasible.

            American socialist revolutionaries are terrified of there finally being a power vacuum and a crisis to exploit.

            Because we have zero chance of filling it. None. It can't happen. If you rip apart America you're left with a bunch of insane reactionary warlords with piles of nukes.

            End up with some crazy evangelical theocrat who decides they were chosen by god to bring on the apocalypse or setup a white christian ethnostate that makes Saudi Arabia look good.

          The Nazis were well-known level heads, who were never embarrassingly defeated

          It's also that these people are really just not particularly threatening.

          That zip tie guy is now blaming his mother.

          The dismissal based on buffoonery is concerning when you realize that the Nazis favorite thing to do was go out and get shitfaced and beat people.

          I mean Hitler liked to carry around a fucking riding crop.

        Yeah, no doubt.

        In the video it's clear to see there were at least four armed police right behind her, ready to detain if needed. But they didn't begin gunning down people because they weren't actually in danger.

          Yeah, that's the really fucked part.

          You can defend the cop who shot her, claim he was defending others from a violent mob.

          No excuse for the cops who didn't tell her to back the fuck off.

      God damn, quit bending over backwards to infantalize armed fascists storming the capitol.

      You're the one who came in here to cape for the cop who saved Mike Pence while also justifying the police gunning down an unarmed woman. Who let you in here?

      I have seen the video, and for anyone else that wants to: [NSFW, CW: shooting, death] https://banned.video/watch?id=5ff6857e00bac0328da8e888

      The shooting occurs at 39:11, but watch a bit before for context.

      There were literally cops right next to the protestors there. If they needed to detain the woman they could have without the cop way down the hall gunning her in the head.

      If you really advocate for killing people who are unarmed and pose no threat then fuck off, you're not actually a leftist. I don't feel bad for her, but I'd never justify her death.

        The cops at the front of the door abandoned their posts. They were not going to stop her because they abdicated their duty....hence why they were BEHIND her and not in front of her.

        I'm not caping for a cop. I'm just saying it's probably a good thing that armed fascists didn't execute members of the government in order to install by force a 2nd Trump term.

        You, on the other hand, are caping for a fascist who was storming the capitol trying to assassinate the entire line of succession while wearing a literal CAPE.

        If you really advocate for killing people who are unarmed and pose no threat then fuck off

        THEY POSED A FUCKING THREAT YOU GODDAMN IMBECILE.

        What, you think they wanted to sit down for a cup of tea? They wanted to assassinate legislators.

        DO NOT, under any circumstance, try to equate armed fascists with minority communities who are routinely harassed and brutalized by police. Not even close to the same thing and if you can't make that distinction then I should stop talking to you because you are baby-brained moron.
