America knew, within a couple of hours, the names of Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley, Marc Chapman, Shirhan Shirhan, James Earl Ray, and James Hodgkinson. (Or did you already forget that James Hodgkinson shot House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and three others on a softball field, in an attempted mass assassination of members of the House GOP caucus?)
But after searching the Internet for a few hours, there only remain questions, and no answers about Ashli’s shooting. My only assumption can be that the hard facts concerning the shooting are so egregious, and so threatening to the incoming Democratic Congress and new Biden Administration

The same people that set up Stephen Paddock, the Mandalay Bay Casino shooter who killed 59 people.

It was pretty clear who shot her. The Capitol Police even said the trigger happy fool was on administrative leave pending investigation. So why do the leftists conceal a murderer who is there to protect them, but they OUT any beat cop who is involved in the death of a black dug addict? They love George Floyd, the crackhead, but HATE Ashli Babbitt the USAF Veteran whose only crime was climbing up in a window.

Wasn't CNN right there with their camera, agitating along with BLM guy? Were they reporters or accomplices?

Shockingly, a couple of friends I spoke with had identical responses. They shrugged their shoulders and said "They should have all been shot." Had they forgotten that, during the months of violence and mayhem in cities around the country that none of the rioters had been shot after engaging in vastly more vicious violence than those at the Capitol? Or, had they simply never heard of the violence over the summer?

What were the circumstances surrounding Officer Brian Sicknick's death? What killed him? Was he hit in the head by a fire extinguisher? Who hit him? Why the news blackout?

It's on video. I'm sure "they" know. Just what we would have expected from this promised "transparent" admin.

And am I the only one sick of hearing this referred to as a "violent" insurrection when the only actual violence was the shooting of an unarmed woman? Don't get me wrong vandalism and intrusion are forms of violence but not one single threat of bodily harm on the part of the mob made it to video despite the multiple sources of footage.

These are questions which must have answers. The shooter who murdered an unarmed young Female veteran must be brought to trial. Ashli’s husband must file a civil suit against the murderer and all federal agencies involved.

The BLM terrorist, Sullivan, made it up the stairs and set up to film everything that was going to happen in the corner of the alcove leading to an office area.
Then, another man, of the same race, came out and did a dramatic display of his arm, his wrist, his gloves and his gun as he lined Ashli up and shot her down like an animal.
That was the only shot fired in the whole demonstration. Right in the head!
No, don't believe that was one of the building guards dressed in a fancier suit between dress and tuxedo style, with flashy cufflinks... who looked like a member of the CBC ~ a well known member for that matter ~ caught briefly in one of the videos. Gray hair. Sixtyish.
This was a set up to prepare a video for use in stirring up a RACE WAR.
Oh, Guam still isn't tipping over, but I think that guy's career is going to end with a trip to a private loony bin, and Pelosi will try to shut everything up with a massive payoff to the family.
So far, none of the Capitol cops are reported to be missing.
BTW, the dead cop had a stroke earlier ~ and went to work anyway ~ stupid move! Not all that unusual though. He reported to the medics early on. Then, the fellows hit with the empty fire extinguisher suffered few injuries ~ I think there were 4 reported. The attacker was fiftyish, overweight, wandering around in something other than an organized attack.
Yes, the fire extinguisher attacks are a hallmark of AntiFA
Back on the videos of the murder, the FBI reports they have 90 minutes of videos taken by that "photographer" who is otherwise known as a BLM terrorist!

Officer Brian Sicknick was hit on the head by a fire extinguisher. He went back to his unit base and collapsed. His parents asked press to stop mentioning that he was other than a hero. (He did two tours in the Middle East)

One posted phone video had a side view of some old guy in a suit so it was no doubt somebody "official." We need to know. All federal agencies have been equally corrupted so they will hide the murderer and hope we forget about it. The democrats' main concern, besides blaming Donald Trump for the entire incident, was Pelosi's laptop.

I've watched the video only once but I'm almost certain the gun was held/fired by a black man.
He was wearing a gold bracelet - not a relevant detail except it contrasted with his skin tone.
The 'racial rules' are going to be yet another obstacle to finding and prosecuting this trigger-happy moron.
PS - government secrecy in all things is a huge and growing problem.

The shooter was probably someone associated with some arm of capitol security. That being said, why all the silence? The longer it goes on, the worse it looks. Are we going to find out the shooter does not match the left's narrative of the capitol building 'riot'?
We know Antifa was running around dressed up to look like pro-Trump rally goers. What's to keep Antifa from dressing up, and impersonating capitol security?

Government transparency will not be big for this administration. Hilliary set up a private server to skirt FOIA in her dealing in government then when caught deleted 33,000 emails, smashed devices, bleach bitted hard drives, received immunity deals with the fbi so they could destroy them and nobody on their evil side cared. They have been emboldened expect even less light in this regime.

I've been asking that for weeks. The thugs in the government murdered a woman for trespassing, and not a peep about who the killer is, or if there is ever going to be any sort of an accounting.
The Deep State thugs can now murder people on video, with millions who know it, and just sweep it under the rug.

#6, that officer died of a stroke. He was not hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. That was a lie that the Enemedia tried to float, but it sank on the weight of facts.

This post is somewhat off topic, thank-you for bearing with me.
The events of January 6, 2021 may very well prove to be the United States' "Reichstag Fire". Members of Congress and their media sycophants are calling not only those who entered the capitol building "insurrectionists" and "Domestic Terrorists". The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2020, (HR 5602) has already passed committee. Biden's choice for Secretary of Defense has stated he will initiate a purge of "racists" and "white supremacists" - i.e any who don't pledge loyalty to the new administration. We have already seen individuals and businesses targeted for holding incorrect political or religious beliefs. Will we see an orchestrated, nation-wide "Kristallnacht"? Probably not. there are still more of us then them. They know this. What we will see is "cancel culture" moving more towards the full on "cultural revolution" seen in China in the 1960's. We are seeing this now.
We must now, more than ever, become in local politics. We must vet candidates. We must volunteer to serve as election workers and poll watchers. In lieu of a new, actually conservative, political party, we must work our our way into party leadership, while remaining conscious to the fact that the current political parties serve only to promote their own personal interests and economies. We must work diligently to clarify and strengthen good election laws, to attempt to stave off fraud like we saw in November. Among other things, language must be inserted to give standing to any legally registered voter to challenge, at any time, non-conforming election procedures and to prevent the courts from removing that language.
We must be steadfast in our defense of our Republic and Constitution and diligently work to restore the rule of law via Constitutional means. This is not about you. This is not about me. This is about us and our posterity. Be of stout heart and firm resolve. We are not alone.

Watching at least one of the many videos of the shooting, one can see a shadowy profile of the shooter...and it looks to me like a photo of the officer that later committed suicide. You can make your own comparison; draw your own conclusion.
Congress is an island that seems exempt from any law but its own. In this case, it is likely that Ashli's family is being taken care of with a substantial gratuity from a grateful nation, as is the officer's. Now, everyone is expected to walk away from all this quietly. We've all seen "nothing". Any further inquiries are unseemly and prying.
Meanwhile the politicians wave the blood shirt of the DEADLY CAPITOL RIOT. The only two known violent deaths probably involve this one incident, one likely a suicide.
The officer who died in the other incident...well, that seems left to wallow in murkiness, too. Whether he was struck by a fire extinguisher seems in question. His family asks his death not be made political. Has anyone seen an autopsy report? Was his death by homicide, or some other cause?

The forearm and hand holding the drawn gun came out of the first door iimmediately to the left (in the Speaker’s Lobby). He was a plain clothes officer - suit coat or sports jacket, white dress shirt (some saw cufflinks). Could not tell skin color. The shooter was pointing his weapon at the door before he shot Ashli. He fired more than once. She was NOT through the broken glass door pane. Had she been, when he shot her she’d have fallen across the broken pane opening, her head and upper body on the Speaker’s Lobby side, and been impaled on the large fixed glass shard that remained fixed in the bottom of the door’s window frame. She was still inside the area outside that door, and she pitched straight back, full length, to the floor on that side. Falling among the protesters who were there.
A witness said early on (and never again, apparently) that she asked one of the men to boost her up - she wanted to put her cell phone through the broken-out opening in the upper part of the glass pane.

Massive coverup, just like the Seth Rich murder. I wonder if they used the same assassin?

Have a look at the still at the opening of the video in this article. Don’t turn on video by clicking on Forward. Just look at the split screen still. On the left I’m seeing two hands holding that gun, all the way to wrists and cuffs/jacket sleeves, and no gloves. Black skin. And the righthand photo shows Ashli the way she was when she was shot.
At one point I saw a longer video that showed her circulating around in that crowd just outside the door. She was a small woman. All of the men were somewhat taller than she. She eventually found the man who lifted her up. I’ve never seen that expanded video since then.

Re Ashli, photo I linked may show short brown glove with something white and dark at top of glove - bead bracelet or trim on glove? But the skin above that is black.
Re Sicknick, although someone was seen throwing a fire extinguisher at some point, no one has connected that with Officer Sicknick. No one has reported his being injured at the Capitol. He returned to his office and later collapsed and was taken to hospital. No mention of visible injuries. When he texted his brother that night, he said he was fine - had just been hit a couple of times with pepper spray. Brother said no mention of fire extinguisher.

Ashley Biden? Somebody shot Ashley? OMG! That person will be strung up and hung out to dry by the MSM. Their name will echo on CNN for the next 10 years. The House and Senate will hold hearings. The DOJ will immediately prosecute them for murder, no matter the real circumstances. Flags will be hung at half mast around the world. Oh, wait... It was just a conservative nobody named, Ashli, who got shot. Never mind.

One can pretty much assume it was either a Capitol police officer, or a Secret Service person who pulled the trigger. I'm leaning toward a Capitol police officer simply because of the numbers of officers present, but maybe not. Since it went through a door, what kind of door. Many of those doors in the Capitol aren't your average doors. They're thick solid wood doors, and heavy. Many have a metal cover over them as well. Your standard 9mm which the Capitol police would probably have as a service weapon, would probably make it though the door, but it wouldn't have much left after going through those kind of doors, and still be able to go through a person cleanly. So I'm thinking it was a higher caliber weapon which was used which may point to a Secret Service person who would most likely be equipped with a higher caliber weapon. Perhaps a .357.

It seems like when the shot that killed Ashli Babbitt was fired that she was in crowd of people that included a number of police officers. So anyone in the approximate line of fire including a police officer could have been hit by that round after it passed through Babbitt’s body. Clearly what Babbitt was doing at the time along with her cohorts was unlawful, but was that such a serious crime that the apparent unarmed Babbitt should have her life taken away by the police?

No one will probably read this:
It was confirmed shortly after the shooting that a plain clothes Capitol police officer shot her. The CP confirmed that almost right away. In the same statement they went on to say that he had been placed on “administrative leave” pending the investigation of the shooting. They know. They knew all along. They announced it. There is no mystery about this. Not an FBI agent.
Now. his name?

Thanks, #32. I looked carefully at the hands and gun at the 0:03 time hack. There appears to be a step in the top edge of the hand.wrist as you move back, and it drops down to a black wrist.....perhaps too black for skin? Perhaps black leather glove to cause a definite notch in the top edge of the wrist. Then black, narrow wrist back into the French cuff with a shiny cufflink. If you do a few frames at a time from 0:05 on, about then you can make out what appears to be a loose cuffed gloves (not black medical type skin tight) with some white and black portions on a cuff edge, visible on both wrists (gloves?). The wrist seems more clear by then, and the skin then resolves to a brown-black color where the hands (gloves?) seem darker black, as is the Glock.
Is it possible that a black and white beaded bracelet is worn on each wrist rather than a black and white edging on gloves?
By 0:07 you can see the side profile, and the face. Clearly a black man with short hair, receding hairline.
Black shooter, with with a pair of black and white large beaded bracelets or leather gloves.
Find a black officer with receding hairline who wears black and white bracelets and you have your shooter.

The purported death of the Capitol Police officer after he collapsed inside the Capitol police quarters , well after and far away from the claimed encounter with the rioters inside the Capitol, and which the false news media have been claiming as a fifth "insurrection death" (some even claiming that he had been assaulted by fire extinguisher) has now been totally debunked since the death has been reported as a "natural causes" death attributed to a preexisting morbid medical condition, and no evince of other injuries. Since another three of the claimed deaths were the result of natural heart attacks, this leaves only the police shooting of the unarmed protester as the only violent death in the course of the "insurrection" at the Capitol.

Just watched the Netflix movie Trial of the Chicago 7. I don't recommend it. But I found it interesting that the 7 allegedly incited a riot but they claimed the police were the instigators. That view was widely adopted by the media and the liberal wing of the Democrat party at the time (the party hadn't yet gone full left-wing). How many people were killed by the police in that riot? None. The same thing was true of the BLM riots over the summer. Zero rioters killed by the police. Only in this incident, which if it was a riot, was not as extensive as the others mentioned, was a rioter killed by the police. Why is that being ignored by the media that calls other rioters "peaceful protesters?"
