Ashli had not displayed a weapon of any kind. Lethal force was not warranted. She had not assaulted anyone in any way. About the worst crime she was in commission of was trespassing.
Controversial take. My main problem with her death is the sheer and shameless glaring hypocrisy of the left... If she had been a black BLM member or even just a female leftist, doing the EXACT SAME THING, they would have been foaming at the mouth with rage and it would have been plastered all over the news nonstop for weeks and weeks. The story would have been entirely about her, not the storming of the capitol. They would have been trying to dox the shooting officer, esp if he had been white. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds and the left are evil, lying vermin.
That being said...goodness, you can't expect to start breaching closer and closer to actual congress members and the Vice President in a the US Capitol without expecting, at some point, to be met with deadly force. I wish they would have just used physical force to take her down, but from their perspective, behind that door, they can't tell if she's armed with anything, gun or otherwise. Also, what if that door gets breached and hundreds, or thousands come swarming through? I lean towards "good shoot" on this one, as painful as it was to see. I doubt that officer was happy that someone was trying to storm into the "shoot on site" area.
My main problem with the actual event, was how there was no real "YOU WILL BE SHOT IF YOU GO PAST THIS LINE" warning. You have cops letting people in, then just feet away from that door, cops are calmly and casually talking to Trump supporters, when in reality, someone should have been yelling "you step beyond this line, THEY HAVE ORDERS TO SHOOT YOU AND YOU WILL BE SHOT". It's just crazy to me that it goes from casual conversation with capitol police on one side of the door like they're at a mixer, to "standing orders to shoot anything that moves" just on the other side...with no visual or audible warning. People who are worked up and in a frenzy sometimes need to receive a good warning.
The same left that trashed her and her name, would have been idolizing the victim if he or she were black and on their team. Multiple statues erected. No one can deny this.
