From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.

— Matthew 11:12

One of the few times you will likely hear her name:



The husband of 35-year-old Ashli Babbit told FOX 5 San Diego that he thinks his wife was killed in the chaos at the Capitol. However, he said he has yet to hear from authorities on the East Coast.

Officials have not yet publicly identified Babbit as the victim. In a news conference Wednesday, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee said the woman was shot by one Capitol police officer with a service weapon after protesters breached the fencing at approximately 2:46 p.m.

She was transported to a local hospital where she died, Contee said.

The rioters stormed the Capitol Wednesday afternoon as Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Lawmakers have since reconvened to continue the process.

Husband Aaron Babbit said Ashli — a San Diego native who grew up in Lakeside — spent 14 years in the military between the Air Force and the D.C. National Guard. They now live in Ocean Beach where they’ve been for more than three years, he said.

Babbit said his wife went to Washington D.C. to take part in Wednesday’s protest, where she met up with friends. He said he sent her a status check message about 30 minutes before the shooting and never heard back.

“She loved her country and she was doing what she thought was right to support her country, joining up with like-minded people that also love their president and their country,” he said.

Babbit added, “She was voicing her opinion and she got killed for it.”



Go here to read the rest. If she were a foot soldier of the Left you would be hearing non-stop about her for the next four years, as she was proclaimed a martyr in death. Since she was on the Right, her death will be swiftly swept under the rug. I do not regard her as a martyr. I do regard her as an American citizen whose legitimate concerns at a stolen presidential election were ignored by the courts, censored by the Media and Big Tech, and betrayed by Republican politicians playing silly, and malign, political games, aiding and abetting the Democrat thieves by their complete fecklessness. In short she acted out of frustration to make her voice heard, and she was killed for it. Storming the capitol was folly and criminal, but it was done immediately after a year in which the party soon controlling the Federal government winked at and aided huge violence by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, establishing the precedent that violence works to get what you want in our system if you are on the Left. If our immediate future is filled with political violence, the seeds were planted throughout the Trump administration by the resistance to him which began from the date he was elected.
