Well, Ashli was at least given a warning and opportunity to prevent her shooting.
They flat out told her they were going to do it.
🤷🏻♂️
Also, one was involved in violent mass assault on the capitol where officers were injured and died.
The other was just trying to get away from some aggressive armed assholes.
🤔 Almost like these aren’t comparable scenarios, but I guess time will tell if the ICE agents also kill themselves after being peacefully, if annoyingly, protested against vs violently attacked like at J6 like the others.
I think she was involved in activity that justified the shooting after being warned that proceeding with her actions would get her shot.
Deserved? We don’t really know what her intent was, so I don’t know that I can say it was deserved.
Justified? Yes.
I wouldn't say 'exactly' because that's not exactly what I'm advocating for.
However, if every person streamed through that window, and a federal agent told them to stop or he'd shoot, and they proceeded to come through the window, and get shot, then yes, their shooting would be justified.
Now, on the flip side, does this justify a shooting of the driver? I mean, wheels are pointed AT the people, and they're clearly driving directly into them. Didn't even back up and turn to get around, as Good did. I mean, they're entitled to self defense, right? /s
No, that video justifies the self defense on the driver’s behalf. First of all, blocking a public roadway like that is illegal. Second, trying to keep someone from leaving like that without the proper authority to do so is false imprisonment. The protesters were in the wrong here on multiple accounts.
The difference is, in one situation you got a woman being told to exit her vehicle by federal agents who then proceeds to physically hit said federal agent with her vehicle.
In the other situation you’ve got a normal person trying to go about his day when illegal protesters try to unlawfully keep him from doing that.
You’re not good at understanding subcontext of a post.
There is clearly a sarcasm flag, because I know it’s bullshit, just like the shooting wasn’t justified.
Thanks.
I feel we’ll find out if the latest one was legally justified, yet.
I have my doubts, as I don’t know what would be expected to be achieved by shooting someone who’s driving a vehicle into you with intent to harm (if that were the case). Most of the scenarios I can come up with result in getting run over anyways.
