The man who shot Ashley Babbit

I'll tell you what I can say about that crowd...
Trump will be the 47th POTUS. Voters were able to decouple him from the riot. And while the riot should never have happened (for multiple reasons), some of the issues which precipitated it have helped elect your next President.

Around she fucked. Find out she did.
Yup.
Imagine for a moment that in February 2025, a BLM mob hops the white house fence and a BLM chick (with her closest 100 friends) were trying to break down the front door where Trump is inside, and behind the glass door there were cops pointing guns saying "don't come in here we will shoot"...and then the BLM chick breaks down the door starts to go in with her 100 closest friends behind her.
Good shooting. It's a shame she caused it. But FAFO, for sure.
I think the shooting was marginal, as to whether it's justified to shoot an unarmed person.
But I'm sorry, you're either supremely ignorant or fucking stupid when it comes to firearms. Byrd carried a Glock 22. Typical penetration of the 180g HP service round is 18+ inches. IOW, a hole going in and a bigger hole going out.
The only reason that dumb fuck didn't kill somebody else was the Grace of God.
BTW, you DO KNOW capitol police had been ordered not to use lethal force, correct?

Not just this. Imagine if there was a mob outside your house (or @Jolly house). How would either of you react?
I dont have any guns, so obviously I would not shoot, but imagine Jolly would shoot the person.

Ever hunt? Especially quail or duck hunt?
Target fixation can be a thing and any person who hunts those animals knows darn well you better know what's behind what you're shooting at and what's within your barrel arc.
Quail and pheasant hunters get shot every year. Duck is horrible, because when you screw up there, it's close range and usually lethal to your hunting partner.
So, even if I have to shoot somebody in the yard, I really don't want to shoot the innocent person behind him.

Just like @Jolly won't answer the question on how he'd react had it been BLM and Obama (instead of MAGA and Trump) protesting an Obama loss... he won't answer the question about BLM invading the Trump white house and the first person to breach through the "last safeguard" point being shot by secret service. Regardless of the shooter's past record. It's an expected and warranted shooting.

Lad, I know you're too damn lazy, but go back and read what I've written on the Babbitt shooting from the beginning. I'm pretty consistent.
It's a marginal shooting.
And unless you've looked down your sites and decided whether or not to shoot somebody, you're simply howling from an island of ignorance.

You said bad shooting, then said marginal shooting, then said he was lucky he didn't shoot a fellow cop. Anyway... my point stands, as does about Jan 6, that your tune would be very different if the groups and persons involved switched sides.

@Jolly What if it were someone attacking your house?
50 people at your front wall, someone breaks a window and tries to start crawling through the window.

Here's your problem...Mixed in with the person breaking into your house, is an equal number of priests and nuns in the crowd. Your weapon has at least 18 inches of penetration.
Do you shoot?

Only after you have said a Hail Mary.

I thought the character of the mob was elucidated slightly in the video of the Babbit shooting. One guy looked through the window and saw cops with guns, and immediately had a moment of clarity about what was going on. He tried to warn the rest of the crowd. I don't think Babbit heard him, and I don't think she saw the armed cops. But that doesn't change anything from the cops' perspectives.

Probably.
You are a better person than I if you are thinking, "Oh, I will let this person kill me so that I do not injure a priest or nun who I dont know and have never met before".
I guess i put my self survival first over a person I dont know. Maybe the wrong attitude, but I am being honest.
If I feel that I am being threatened and there is video to back my my feelings, I doubt I would be arrested either.

Never pick up a gun.
Heavy is the hand that pulls the trigger. Byrd had a light hand.

Wise words, but what would you do if a group was trying to break into your house?
At what point, if any, would you shoot?

My team would wave a stick and shout 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS', and if things got really tricky 'GO BACK TO THE SHADOW!'

@Jolly Continue please
Would a group of people pounding on your house, and one person breaks your window and starts to climb in.
Would that meet your definition of imminent danger?
For me, it would.

Yes, but your house is not the Capitol. The people banging on the window, may or may not wish to physically harm you. Mixed in with those people are colleagues, and your weapon will probably burt somebody besides who you are shooting at.
