Boohoo. She's part of a group that broke into the US Capitol. This isn't a case of someone who got drunk and slept with his best friends wife for fucks sake. She committed treason. Fuck her and anyone who commits treason against the United States. Left, right, center, I don't care.
I know that there's no way we can discuss this without all of the raw emotions of the last few days influencing our comments. I'm 100% in favor of arresting all of the asshats who illegally entered the Capitol Building on Tuesday and trying them for whatever crimes they may be reasonably charged with. I have no problem with going after Trump for instigating this crap. That said, if we don't believe in the rule of law, if we're willing to condemn everyone as being guilty without a trial, I'm not sure that there's any moral high ground left in this country. Regarding this woman, all we know for sure is that she seems to have committed breaking and entering and trespass (or whatever the appropriate similar laws are for entering Federal properties illegally). We don't know anything about her motives. We saw similar stuff take place on a nightly basis at the Federal Courthouse in Portland all summer long. You do that kind of stuff and you risk getting shot by law enforcement, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least recognize that a human life was needlessly lost.
No where did i not recognize that a human life was lost needlessly. I just don't feel sorry for her for doing something incredibly stupid, where her death was justified. Like the idiots who speed in their cars because they're stupid and young (like Ryan Dunn from Jackass fame). We do know about her motives, watch the rants she has online. Are you suggesting she was there by accident?? She knew exactly what she was doing.

I've seen a light heavyweight boxing championship and I saw UFC 102 live. It's tough to beat those events.
I haven't seen her rants, but my assumption is that she was there intentionally and was one of the gullible souls who bought Trump's line of BS. What I don't know is whether she was just there to vent her frustrations and got caught up in the moment, or if it was her intent to actually harm people and try to overthrow, or at least prevent, the House and Senate from doing their constitutional jobs with respect to certifying the EC votes. There's a world of difference between being a gullible loudmouth ranter illegally entering government property to make a political point and committing treason. One gets you time in the clink. The other carries a potential death sentence. We have a judicial system to figure out which is appropriate.
It's almost as if the flag has nothing to do with Southern traditions and everything to do with racism. The guy is the one in SPD's post above, apparently.
Unfortunately, there's nothing rare about hate these days. It's the most common thing we see in response to virtually every political or social action these days. Hate doesn't know right or left, it just goes about making people dehumanize the "other" so that they can justify being inhumane in their actions against them.
