Some of you will remember that Babbitt was one of the rioters killed in the Capitol during the insurrection on January 6. I'm not going to repost what I just saw someone else post, but apparently there are some right wing groups claiming she was murdered and they're doxxing the Capitol policeman who shot her. Supposedly they're trying to tie him to BLM and create a whole conspiracy out of it, which I guess is what they're good at.
I don't quite get that. Yes, it's unfortunate and sad for her loved ones that she was killed that day, but she was illegally trespassing in the US Capitol. I've always thought it was a given that if you trespassed in highly secure federal buildings and refused to stand down after repeated warnings you'd get shot and most likely killed. If I walked onto a military base or the Pentagon and guards told me to stand down, I feel like it'd be foolish to not listen to them at that point because I'd end up dead otherwise.
Am I missing something here?
