down. Not very brave, is he?As for your WhataBabbittism, her death is on herself, (you don't rush a man with a drawn weapon**) and Trump for fooling the woman into believing the election was stolen, just to raise a few bucks.
**The first thing one learns when taking a firearms course is to never draw a gun unless you intent to use it. Babbitt, being military-trained, knew what was coming. If she was a civilian I'd feel a little more sorry for her.
As for cops, 140 were injured, many seriously. Love?
As for "amusing exercise," I'm not the one who is treating it that way while swishing an olive around my cocktail glass, I call 1/6 what it was: an insurrection. No word-play.
If "insurrection" is not an appropriate a word to describe (Oxford) a violent uprising against a gov't (while said gov't is certifying an election, no less!) what word would you use that's more appropriate? The definition of Insurrection has been around longer us, so it's not politicized. And even if no one individual is charged for insurrection, so what? Collectively, it was a violent uprising against a gov't. An Insurrection.
