Quoted: She kept crawling through a window after someone with a gun on the inside told her to stop. Same thing that would happen at my house. She committed suicide.

Apparently you're not aware there were two police officers standing right next to her when she was shot and they did nothing to stop her. Seems they didn't think she was a threat of any kind to anybody.

And again, it’s not murder if it’s justified View Quote He wasn't facing any immediate lethal force threat, not even a threat of physical violence, just trespassing. It was not justified under any established use of force. If you have to insert political bias to justify it. Then its not justified. Corruption is not justified. Do you think corruption supercedes all? |

This is one of those litmus tests that shows how small the pro-insurrection crowd is. Not many people think she was murdered. Even those who think she didn't need to be shot.

Valid point, disparity of force. If she was by herself I would be swayed to say it was disproportionate. Breaking through a barricade with a mob and suddenly the parity equation changes when you're charged with protecting a location and the people there. And when you are breaking down barricades with a large group of people, it is a mob. |

I’m not going to quote any particular poster(s) in this thread to avoid violating the CoC, but there are some real shitbagS in GD these days.
Did she break the law? Yes! Should she have been arrested? Yes! Should she have been MURDERED. NO! Apparently the officers behind her with M4s and kitted out didn’t feel the need to shoot her. Much less advance from cover to take a kill shot. But hey, this is America and people are entitled to their despotic opinions. Somehow firebombing a federal court house with people in it doesn’t justify lethal force, but one person with her hands shown to be clear of weapons and climbing through a window in a defenseless co diction warrants being executed. Even on White House grounds they first attempt to subdue an intruder before opening fire at POINT BLANK range! Again, she broke the law. She should have been arrested and given her day in court. If she was a real threat, acting violently, the officers behind her with select fire weapons and in body armor could have handled it. Make whatever excuses you want, you’re full of shit. That’s directed to no person in particular, but if you feel the need to respond to the contrary well I guess it hit home. |

Yes, if the threat is real let the police coming handle it. They know better than you if it is real or not.

Maybe that rumor that Lon Horuchi is living on a military base has some truth to it.
