Node: I'M PRETTY SURE had that been BLM, there would have been no gunshots. Lane: I'm pretty sure that BLM would know not to break into a critical, even sacred, federal facility unless it was on a suicide mission. A mob of privileged White people, apparently not so much. If BLM hangers-on break into anything, it's soft targets with cool merch. Nah, don't you know, black folks are privileged these daze. They get all the breaks. White folks have to fight through all sorts of discrimination and prejudice!

Black folks know they can be shot for driving while black, or walking while black or sleeping while black. White folks figure they should be able to riot while white and have nothing happen to them. Talk about your privilege. And the irony is a lot of these white folks like to talk really tough about how THEY'D shoot someone breaking into their house- or someone "suspicious"... By which they mean "not white"

>> Do you still not read? She had at least one weapon--a mob behind her with enough bodies to overwhelm. Nonsense. There were armed Capitol police within feet in both directions. >>The mob had already flattened and killed one person simply by its numbers. I would recommend you cut loose of the NYT and family accounts and wait until official accounts are available. It is what I do and it is the reason I usually get stuff right. You know, follow the science and the truth. >> Yes, on the other side of the door. Both sides of the door. There were Capitol officers on the inside and the outside. >> She may not have deserved it, but she "asked for it." Bullshit. She had no idea there was an armed cop hiding off to her left. How could she have known? She couldn’t have seen him. He don’t her from a blind. Never had a chance to have known. It was a clear murder and there damned well ought to be outrage in DC if they let that cop off. >> The Capitol was closed to the public. I make no argument that she was “in the right”. Only that she didn’t deserve the death penalty. And the circumstances did not warrant the murder of this woman. Regardless of the nature of the crowd. Once again, I remind you of the dark moment know as Kent State where the military turned its guns on protesting civilians. Or, if it is easier for you, imagine she was black.
