Ashli Babbit family Settles with Govt for $5 Million

I will be fudging my taxes next year for my share of this payout.

170,000,000 taxpayers... 5,000,000 payout... that's 3 cents from me. So I will round up my charity gifts of goods I donate (the easiest place to do it), which I will over-estimate by 9 cents to save me that 3 cents. Bam, take that Uncle MAGA Sam !

 

You’re inconsistent to put it mildly. If she was, shall we say, of a different group, you would be leading the charge in obnoxious comments.

 

Trump…. “she was innocently standing there – they even say, trying to sort of hold back the crowd.”

wasn’t she climbing thru a busted-out, locked door trying to get to the section where our congresspeople were escaping?

 

But it's the same thing to the addled dear leader, some say trying to sort of be dictator. To mimic the silly guys quote.

 

She was just a lost tourist looking for the bathroom.

 

A veteran should’ve known better than to break the law. Just comply and you won’t have a problem. Criminals can never seem to figure this out.

 

Disgusting result. I've been defending personal injury lawsuits for 32 years and this case SHOULD go to trial!!!

 

So it could turn into 10 million?

 

Not with the jury pool in DC

 

Was going to say the same. Venue would not have been a friend of Babbit's family.

 

All the while, she is wearing a backpack. Were there explosives in it? Other weaponry? No way for the officer(s) to know.
Watch videos of this shooting. She deserved that bullet.

 

The police overall showed amazing restraint that day, that one cop who calmly backpedaled and misdirected the MAGA mob likely saved a lot of lives.

This cop wasn’t in a position to backpedal. He was clearly tasked with guarding that door. Did he HAVE to use lethal force? Some might suggest he fire a “warning shot”, not unreasonable to see that as preferable outcome. But that is NOT the protocol (and a warning shot may even be illegal for all I know, as it is in a lot of places, inside a busy building during a riot is pretty much the opposite of ideal environment for a “warning shot”). At the end of the day he shot a person acting criminally/attempting to break in through a window which is always going to be justifiable (castle doctrine) and should never to rewarded. I view this like a burglar suing the homeowner for injuring themselves or having a slip and fall during the course of their burglary. It’s quite disgraceful. Esp considering she has no kids, so I guess her mom gets the $$$.

 

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Had the mob gotten their hands on elected officials and killed some of them, some of these same folks would be raising hell about that.

 

How dare the cops entrap them into beating elected officials to death! They really had no choice, you see.

 

Can citizens sue her family for the money back? Clearly cant sue the government.

 

Are you against Stand Your Ground laws?

 

All of a sudden cops shooting unarmed civilians is problematic. Who knew.

 

Ashli should be in Salvador CECOT, but she is dead, which is likely a better outcome for her.

 

Congressionalel members had been evacuated for 30 minutes when Babbitt was shot for breaking some glass. The cop (Michal Byrd) had a long history of rogue behavior.

If the cop had been white and Babbitt was black the cop would be in prison.
