Remember the Atlanta Olympic bombing in 1996? There were two fatalities, but one of them was a cameraman who died of a heart attack running to the scene. Although the bomb didnāt kill him, he still died because of it.
The death of this officer seems similar, but I would say even more connected to the crime. Nobody will be able to convince me that he would have still died had the failed insurrection not taken place.
The whole martyrdom of Ashli Babbit is one of the things that is super crazy to me.
In any other sense, during any other time we would all agree that it was her actions and her actions alone that put her own life into danger. A group of rabid leftists storming the Capitol would also be met with deadly force. If anything, the Capitol police showed a ton of restraint in the whole situation. But for some reason there has to be this tit for tat one upmanship over an event that we all know was action where an officer was defending Congress from a group of people who would have torn them apart.
So let us not pretend that Babbit was some sort of Martyr for the cause because her cause was 100% built on a lie.
So when should we expect retractions from the lying asses in the media and the bull ā ā ā ā politicians that lied to the American people demonizing Trump supporters?
The burly police office should have arrested her for trespassing. Instead he shot her dead in an apparent ambush.
The cities around the country would have burned if the police had done that to a BLM protestor, and the officer would probably be facing murder charges now.
The context of what was happening has been removed from this Martyrdom. You all know it. It is the only way that this tit for tat whataboutism makes sense.
Put it all into context it makes no sense.
What started out as a right wing nose tweeking of BLM protests has become part of the canon of grievances at a rapid pace.
Officer Sicknick would still be alive had it not been for the storming of the Capitol. You really think he would have had those two strokes had it just been a normal Wednesday?
Noā¦ in a situation where Leftists are violently storming the Capitol in order to stop the duties of Congress to validate an election I would have no problem with an officer using deadly force to protect Congress you would 100% be in agreement with me.
