Confusing for me that you are asking this question, considering you have long made up your mind:

She was murdered by the police while she was unarmed and no threat to the police.

I did call you out on it:

As someone whose professional life is focused on preserving the constitution and defending civil rights, how can you join the chorus of election fraud screechers instead of pointing out what a fucking disgusting display of a fascist and undemocratic mindset it is to storm the parliament of one's own nation to disrupt the process of completing the process of an open and fair election? Incited and encouraged by a President who has completely lost it and who can be considered a traitor to his people and an oathbreaker without hyperbole?

You're not getting the election result you hoped for, and you were enraged by looters and rioters in the summer. All of that is quite understandable. I refuse to believe you are honestly this far gone.

To which you did not reply.

I also asked you are while back what your thoughts are regarding the election fraud claims. You did answer but not exactly the question. I didn't push further because I think you rely on largely right-wing clients and probably don't want to be in a situation where you have to call out Trump for what he is. I can understand that, but now to come in here doubling down to make a martyr of a domestic terrorist?

I actually just watched this video today I was basing my statement off the news reports alone.
Now that I watched the video I am still deciding. On the one hand there are people breaking down the door but on the other hand there are cops mixed in with them so that lessens the chance that the cop that shot the woman would think he was in danger.

And due to my involvement in the meme thread I get dozens of likes everyday so I really didn't see your post.
And to answer your question I don't agree with storming the building. We can't have a functional society with people breaking into government buildings. Its fairly late and the only reason I am still online is I can't get to sleep so
I am not going to type to much. However I do think it is hypocritical that all the people saying these people should have the book thrown at them were supportive of the protests last summer that included a lot of property damage and attacks on a federal court house in Portland. And just because someone should be arrested for something does not necessarily mean that they deserve to be shot.

Were they armed? I read that pipe bombs and guns were found in the area, but since it's the US finding guns and explosives is vehicles probably isn't indicative of anything much.
 
James Clyburn says "somebody on the inside" of Capitol was "complicit" in letting rioters inside the building
"Clyburn suggested his inner office was targeted by the mob because there was "activity outside of my inner office where most people don't know where that is.
The office with my name on the door was not touched."

huge if true

Does it matter if they were armed? And yes, some of them were, and yes, they found a truck full of explosives that the FBI is currently investigating. Finding a truck full of explosives is a pretty serious thing in the US.

Who is ziptie guy? I haven't been paying much attention. As long as it all stays in the US...

I would say it matters. If they were armed then there can hardly be any reason to cry foul over someone getting shot when they are smashing their way into the Capitol building.
If they weren't armed then you'd expect the usual riot measures (by modern Western standards I mean. ie not shooting rioters) and an explicit threat for the use of lethal force.
I guess pipe bombs are serious in this day and age, they are certainly capable of death and destruction, still the sort of thing we'd play with as kids.

COnsidering a police officer got his head bashed in with a fire extinguisher, I would say they were armed with whatever they could find, plus some had guns.
 
Greatest argument in the Parler thread:

"So do you also agree with a private restaurant banning blacks, Asians and dogs?"

Yeah... not exactly looking like a peaceful protestor. Looks like he takes his tacti-cool larping seriously. Plenty of MOLLE.

Dude has been armed at other rallies and have been pretty outspoken on social media about using violence. I cant recall his name but he is identified.
Several rioters had (confirmed) tazers with them.
One rioter might (unconfirmed) have "killed" him self by inducing a heart attack by tazing him self in the balls.

They were not protesors. Nobody inside the capitol was a protestor. They lost that right to be called protestors.

I don't know. The US has a low threshold for the use of lethal force, but locally I still call people storming parliament protestors, although rioters is accurate too.

I am going to stop talking about this now before I get ridiculously heated again. Maybe research why they were there, what they did, and what they attempted to do.

Yeah, I've read it. I still call it a protest come riot.

Yeah, I know my zookeeper friend started out at like 32k in 2012. No clue about how much that improves.

He chose to work with chimpanzees. Big, big mistake imo when you can work with cheetahs, lions, sea lions, or hippos. Or, shit, gorillas. At least pick a cute ape and not one that wants to rip your balls off.

Depends on what zoo you work at but overall the pay is pretty awful compared to the work we do and qualifications we are asked to have. Also, primates are gross
