Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Ashli Babbitt died committing an armed insurrection. She died following the orders of Donald Trump.

Americans are quite talented at rewriting history.

The Civil War, and the seditious conspiracy that preceded it, has been reframed as "The Lost Cause" and "The War of Northern Aggression".

A genocide of Indigenous peoples was reframed in thousands of "Cowboys & Indians" movies.

Rambo & films like it, revisioned the Vietnam War as "victory" not failure.

@Npars01 @hannu_ikonen @Strandjunker Recommend: Heather Cox Richardson’s How the South Won the Civil War

@Npars01
Not Rambo or all of the films I’ve seen about that war and its aftermath have been able to rewrite that history. Sorry, no one sees that victory. I agree with your other examples, though

@Strandjunker She was wrongfully killed without warning for the simple act of trespassing.

The shooter of this wrongful death should be held accountable, since he did not give any warning.

She was unarmed, and the real insurrection was the stolen election.

Judges dismissed the cases without hearing any evidence, because they did not WANT to get involved. There should have been an investigation, but AG Barr shut down any investigations already on the way.

@Strandjunker Wrong. There was no armed insurrection. It was neither armed nor an insurrection.

You are misinformed due to gaslighting and censorship.

She was an insurrectionist and as a former member of the US Military a traitor to her country and to her oath. She got conned by QAnon and Trump. The insurrectionists that day are so lucky that the Capitol police that day were horrified at firing on their fellow Americans. My sympathies go out to the brave Officers of the Capital Police. The insurrectionists can rot in hell for all I care...😡 😡 😡

    @philip_cardella What I find very concerning is that people were prosecuted and convicted due to withholding exculpatory evidence.

    It is well known nowadays that Capitol police opened the heavy magnet doors from the inside and ushered people in.

    That was not known to the juries in those J6 court cases.

    Only one of these two things is true.

    1. Her killing was justified.

    2. It’s ok to smash the window in someone else’s house and climb through with ill intent. The homeowner has no right to use deadly force to protect themself and their property.

    Second Amendment types’ brains explode when confronted with that choice.

    @Strandjunker she was a domestic terrorist and her fate would have been the fate of 90% or more if they were brown terrorists.

    @Strandjunker She got exactly what she asked for, and what she deserved. She swore an oath to the Constitution, then turned around and wiped her ass with it. I swore that same oath over 40 years ago and I stand by it to this day.
