I can see why others are arguing he shouldn't have shot. After all, you shoot someone through a door in DC, and you will likely be arrested.

At the same time, those people had definitely chosen to risk their lives to do that.

I hadn't seen that before. This makes me think there was someone else shot. Only one of them can be Babbitt. Was she shot in the neck at this point?

This is why Babbit got shot. She was leading a mob to where the lawmakers were being evacuated. - Frank L - 3:16pm 12/21/21 (69) [View All]

        Why only one shot and why at an unarmed middle=aged lady struggling to get through a window? - Curly1918 - 7:27am 12/22/21
        He didn’t panic due to an unarmed, middle aged woman struggling through a window. - Frank L - 8:43am 12/22/21
        So he fired wildly? Or did he intend to kill? - Curly1918 - 9:41am 12/22/21
        He intended to shoot her to stop the threat. It worked. No one attacked the lawmakers. - Frank L - 11:12am 12/22/21

      - It's remarkable reasonable people can view that video... - Stark Raving Dad - 6:41pm 12/21/21
        Actually Stark, reasonable people understand that the use of deadly force was clearly justified. - conorlarkin - 6:59pm 12/21/21
        Oh I absolutely agree with you and Frank. - Stark Raving Dad - 7:07pm 12/21/21

        Agreed. - Stark Raving Dad - 6:55pm 12/21/21
        No he didn’t know if she was armed or not. The real threat wasn’t just her, but the group breaching - Frank L - 7:03pm 12/21/21
      - Agreed! I suspect his reaction was out of panic. [NT] - Curly1918 - 6:23pm 12/21/21
        I have repped and interviewed cops who have killed perps and have sat on a shooting review board. - Frank L - 6:43pm 12/21/21
  - She wasn't an anxious shopper, trying to be the first one into Best Buy on Black Friday. - conorlarkin - 5:46pm 12/21/21
  - Without question if she is leading a mob of others which she was to the area that’s being evacuated. [NT] - Frank L - 5:31pm 12/21/21

      - Uhm no, there is no question. Clear video evidence of it. You are an attorney, yes? [NT] - Frank L - 6:36pm 12/21/21
    - Any evidence that she was leading? Genuine question. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:40pm 12/21/21

        I just watched conor's video in the range he indicated. I can't blame the guy for shooting. - NedoftheHill - 5:47pm 12/21/21
- Key footage is at 26:30 -- 28:30. A clear green light to use justifiable deadly force by police. - conorlarkin - 4:49pm 12/21/21
