The long-awaited tort action from the family of Ashli Babbitt has now been filed in Southern California. Babbitt was shot and killed on Jan. 6th and her family is seeking $30 million in a wrongful death action. Equally important, the lawsuit could force additional answers to why Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd shot and killed the unarmed protester as she attempted to climb through a window near the House Chamber. I have previously raised concerns over the shooting as conflicting with governing standards on the use of lethal force. I also noted contradictions in Byrd’s own statements and the government’s conclusion that this was a justified killing. The complaint below adds some troubling facts to these prior concerns.
Tom Fitton has more.
Byrd is a coward and a disgrace.
He’d have to become 10x the man just to own up and hang himself or eat his service pistol.
Anyone who supports him should have their skin flayed off and then get dumped in the ocean as chum.
You gotta get down off that fence & form an opinion.
BTW, x2…
Buddy, Buddy, Buddy … you failed to mention that Lt. Byrd is a black man. And under the NEW woke Laws (read: Lawlessness) black men aren’t held responsible for their actions … and certainly NEVER incarcerated.
Yes … it all started with the incompetent, ignorant, OJ Jury.
But! The government … US … will likely be found responsible and be made to pay out $30M in damages.
And that jury came to their conclusion based on another lie. Rodney King.
We will settle out of court for an undisclosed sum. that way we don’t have to turn over the tapes of the insurrectionist tour groups being escorted by the police and over 200 FBI CIA Etc planted in and around the capitol.
Pelosi’s response to the stolen 2020 election. Putting those MAGA protesters in jail.
thank you.
The undisclosed sum should be $6 billion dollars. It’s floating around out there somewhere. It might get *found* to pay for an “undisclosed sum”.
Thirty Pence should be forced to testify!
January 6th,
Ashli Babbitt Day ;
Our Socialist Dictatorship will fall around the feet of this brave woman.
Whatever amount is finally paid in settlement, it will all be funded by we taxpayers and not a penny paid nor a day served by Capital Police shooter Michael Byrd.
I don’t think Byrd acted alone. Some one gave him the order to shoot someone. Who was it? Whose office did it come from?
Can anyone say Drunken Nancy????
Good point, Ynot. Discovery could get ugly. I hope it does get ugly.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Allan S. can you not go a day without saying something stupid?
alla unDORK
When they run out of Jews……..
If you watched that coward execute her and still feel that way, then you’ll eventually be turned into chum by someone.
Its inevitable.
“If you watched that coward execute her and still feel that way, then you’ll eventually be turned into chum by someone.”
Hopefully, yes. I don’t understand why that guy is still walking around, frankly.
Or why he still has a job, since he shot her *in the neck*, which indicates to me that he was panicking. But hey, this is a guy who accidentally left his service weapon in a public washroom once, and they didn’t fire him for that.
If they offer the family a settlement, I hope they counter with a demand for ten times the original dollar amount and full disclosure of all the data, and, especially, a charging of Byrd with homicide with the trial in a location of the family’s choosing).
oh man l remember how the press piled on that woman.
brrrrrrr . . . .
l also remember my history studies both high school and post secondary how this ‘process’ unfolds. a ‘new order’ set to displace the old really really heavy on media lies. by late teens in late 70s by personal involvement and observing stories first hand how off the mark reporters could be.
l didnt yet realize it was spin meistering. l thought they just couldnt see past the nose on their face.
nope.
’twas willful deliberate calculated planned intentional.
They should have sued for $30B.
