There are also Jan 6 “rioters” that have committed suicide from being overcharged and being ground down by the boot heel of government. I would say cruel and unusual punishment.
Poor dears, they found out trying to overthrow a duly elected Government by taking part in a insurrection has consequences!
perhaps they should have thought of that before blindly following their cult leader.

I'll give you the standard ATS reply for every incident from all of 2020, now parrotted back to you. "She shouldn't have been there. They were all violent. Back the blue! Just comply! Law and order! Protestors should be shot!"

This is Called " Throwing Crap Disinfo at a Wall to see if it Sticks " . Total BS trying to Rewrite the Facts of the Past . Pure Orwellian .
You're showing some signs of the same delusions this guy got in trouble for.
I respect your right to think anything at all, just don't get violent like he did, please.

And it makes you wonder why the officers on the other side of the door/window didn’t radio for backup?
Why would they radio for backup? They were well able to handle the situation, as we all saw.
About 60 to 80 House members and staffers were holed up inside, and it was Byrd’s job to protect them.

60 or 80 house members only warranted the protection of a few guys with pistols?

As was shown, that was adequate protection. If they needed more help, they would have asked for it.
Funny how you refuse to put any blame at all on the insurgents trying to overthrow a duly elected Government! It all must be someone else's fault.
Standing guard outside the doors were three Capitol Police officers. The crowd hurled insults at them and punched the glass just inches from their heads. To the right, at the top of a stairwell, stood a man in a suit with an earpiece, identified by a person familiar with congressional security as an unarmed member of the House sergeant-at-arms staff.
Near the front was Ms. Babbitt, 35, who had served 14 years in the Air Force and was an enthusiastic supporter of President Donald J. Trump. Her social media feed was filled with QAnon conspiracy theories.
Inside the doors was the lieutenant, who, according to his account, had trained to deal with an active shooter but never a scenario like this, in which the Capitol was being overrun by large numbers of people. Calls for backup and reports of officers engaged punctuated the radio traffic.
Since the breach began, rioters had wielded bear spray, batons, pipes and fire extinguishers against officers. When the lieutenant thought he heard on the radio that shots had been fired, according to his account, he positioned himself in a doorway off to one side of the corridor, with a view of anyone trying to get through the glass doors.
With the lawmakers slowly draining out the far end of the hall, those doors became a strategic choke point.
The officer, according to his account, could not see the three uniformed officers outside and did not know they were there — he only described seeing a hallway full of oncoming people. The three officers had no visible shields or riot gear — two of them were not even wearing hats.
According to the lieutenant’s account, he did not know who among the rioters, if anyone, was armed. Nor could he see how far down the hall the crowd extended.
The lieutenant was also unaware, those briefed on his account said, that a tactical team from the Capitol Police was climbing the stairwell behind Ms. Babbitt, intending to reinforce the area and clear out the rioters.

Eight? A “armed mob” set on physical attacking people stops out of concern for a shot person?

After watching the footage, which included someone claiming that those around Ashley were actors, I honestly don't know, but I do think that there is enough evidence to reasonably suspect that she could have been involved in a secret scripted operation and is still alive, although most likely living under a different name now.

They realised if they keep trying to break into that room they may be next in line to be shot, and dying for their cult leader was just not worth it!

If the mob was armed, fanatical, and out to kill, do you think one hand gun would stop them. Do you think the guards standing toe to toe with Babbitt would still have been standing unharmed. And after watching a whole summer of riots, and the law enforcement having their hands tied on how they could react. Why should this one be different?

Realize that staged events and crisis actors do exist, watch the footage that has long since been complied, and judge for yourself.
Ashley Babbitt Footage
BTW what would be the reason for her to fake it, and still fake it? Her death was meaningless, so tell me would be the end game there?
