Dear Tucker Carlson, Ashli Babbitt was NOT murdered

YEAH!

This lie is making the rounds again

“Ashli Babbitt Tried To Stop Antifa False Flag On Jan 6th”

“Ashli Babbitt vs. antifa? Video falsely claims Babbitt ‘tried to stop antifa false flag’ on Jan. 6”

Some folks know the truth, others lie

If someone shatters your window right now and tries to come into your house, are you going to wait until they get in and then ask them if they are armed or not? What if they have a crowd behind them coming in after they get in? What are you doing, especially if you have a wife or husband or kids or grandmother or grandfather in the house?

Tucker Carlson Makes Wild Claim in Deaths of Tyre Nichols, Ashli Babbitt

“Fox News host Tucker Carlson has claimed that deceased Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt was “murdered” by police, while denouncing those who were “weeping” over the fatal police beating of Tyre Nichols.”

Warnings?

“You can hear the gunshot”

I am stupid out, so let me try to explain this to Tucker Carlson, Paul Gosar, Margaret Taylor Greene and the #MAGA folks like they are Four-Year-Olds:

Video shows fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol

“Two previously unreported video clips obtained by The Washington Post shed new light on the fatal shooting by police of Trump supporter and Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt as she and other rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Babbitt and others were attempting to breach a barricaded door inside the Capitol building on Wednesday afternoon, angrily demanding that three U.S. Capitol Police officers who were guarding the door step aside, one of the clips shows. The officers moved away as colleagues in tactical gear arrived behind the rioters, according to the clip and other video posted online.

Roughly 35 seconds after the officers moved away, as she climbed up toward a broken section of the unguarded door, Babbitt was shot by an officer on the other side.

“Babbitt, a 35-year-old California native, and more than a dozen others appeared to be trying to get into the Speaker’s Lobby, a hallway that would have given them access to the House of Representatives chamber, according to a Post analysis of video footage and plans of the Capitol.

A second clip, recorded approximately three minutes before the shooting, appears to show lawmakers and officials in the Speaker’s Lobby, just yards from Babbitt and others trying to get through. Rep. James P. McGovern (D-Mass.), the chairman of the House Rules Committee, was one of those present, a spokesperson confirmed.

As the lawmakers and officials were being evacuated, one rioter wearing a fur-lined hat repeatedly punched the doorway’s glass panels immediately behind the officers, creating extensive damage, the video footage shows. The rioter tried to get around one officer, identified by a patch on his jacket as K. Yetter, while several rioters yelled at the police to let them through.”

“With help from someone who hoisted her up, Babbitt began to step through a portion of the door where the glass had been broken out. An officer on the other side, who was wearing a suit and a surgical mask, immediately shot Babbitt in the neck. She fell to the floor.”

“The Justice Department later described the incident in its announcement that the officer who fired at her would be cleared, and the investigation into her death was closed:

At the time, the USCP was evacuating Members from the Chamber, which the mob was trying to enter from multiple doorways.  USCP officers used furniture to barricade a set of glass doors separating the hallway and Speaker’s Lobby to try and stop the mob from entering the Speaker’s Lobby and the Chamber, and three officers positioned themselves between the doors and the mob.  

Members of the mob attempted to break through the doors by striking them and breaking the glass with their hands, flagpoles, helmets, and other objects.  Eventually, the three USCP officers positioned outside the doors were forced to evacuate.  As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out.  An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor.  A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.”
