So we're just going to forget the shooting of Ashli Babbit?

I know a good many of you are like, "F***k around, find out" when it comes to rioting and I have no disagreements with you on that score. But the double standard being shown by the media and liberals is deafening to me. After the Michael Brown, George Floyd, and Jacob Blake incidents, we got peppered by the media with stories of how angelic they were; how they made people laugh; and what loving and caring men they were. We weren't allowed to ask questions about their prior criminal histories as that did not matter. They were (supposedly) unarmed black men killed by the police.

This woman is either not being talked about or she's being labeled a cooky conspiracy theorist who believed in Pizzagate, QAnon, subscribed to Infowars, etc. But let's be honest here, had she been black and the circumstances were reversed (Antifa protestors in the Capitol protesting the reelection of Trump) we would already know the name of the cop who shot her, we'd have heard that he was on administrative leave pending an investigation, and the media would be demanding he be up on criminal charges.

I'm sick of the double standard and I don't how you people bear it.

Had she been black she would have never made it that close to the Capitol. So there's that

Yeah! Give up your ethics and act like them just because she was white! That'll teach 'em!

Yeah, i haven't seen her baby picture yet and the media pretending she was a 5 year old toddler who was shot while playing with her dolls. Instead, i see blue checks and the NYPost deperately looking for any criminal information on her and can only find an ex girlfriend of an old boyfriend that said "she harassed me".

But, this is also the same group that refuse to answer why they only object to black felons being killed by police while in the process of committing another felony, and ignore the countless innocent black kids and adults murdered by other black felons.

It's like you are unaware of the 2020 riots.

You talking about the domestic terrorist, ring leader that was shot in the Capitol on 1/6? We are damn lucky they took her out, I hear they are planning a burial at sea...

I’m going to stay consistent with what I said about the rioters over the summer - play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Downvote away.

That's not my argument.

How many of these police shootings that draw national outrage involve people who are playing stupid games with the police? Damn near every single one of them.

My problem is that you have to be a specific color and/or political persuasion to garner that kind of attention.

It's clear why they discuss her differently. in their view and opinion the BLM rioters were disenfranchised citizens begging to be listened to. People like Michael Brown and George Floyd were innocent citizens murdered because of nothing more than their race.

In their view and opinion Ashli Babbit was a domestic terrorist.

Now, to be clear I wholeheartedly disagree with this, both aspects of it. That being said, you asked a question, this is your answer.

Yes.

Where’s her family? Who is her family? They haven’t spoken to my knowledge? I thought she was involved with QAnon? Correct me if I am wrong? Why haven’t they made statements?

Without these things happening she will the “one rioter killed” forever.

I know I know. It wasn’t a riot.... Nothing was on fire. I’d be curious what lighting one piece of paper in the US Capital would cause? I imagine their fire/sprinkler system is state of the art.

Had she been black the OP would have never made this thread. If you’re sick of the double standard, look in the mirror first.

Eh, I would not expect her family to have a desire to speak or be known quite frankly... Especially if they were/are truly living in Cali...
