Afghan security forces’ wholesale collapse was years in the making :astonished:

Entirely possible ... given that the lack of will to deal with COVID initially provided a huge pool of human Petri dishes to allow the virus to mutate. Hard to know what's out there now and there are no guarantees that the current vaccines will remain effective against future variants. Not...

Hmmm ...

Vaccines: free Masks: .99 cents Regeneron: $1500 per treatment :astonished:

The Afghanistan Papers: Documents reveal U.S. officials knew the war had become unwinnable :astonished:

:astonished:

The Princeton study you referred to, which was cited by York, confirms that the protests were indeed largely peaceful: This you would know ... were you not cherry-picking in service to a partisan agenda. BTW - I've never heard the MSM - or anyone else for that matter - refer to riots as...

The Capitol was being attacked by the sad, pathetic, domestic terrorist losers ... and he was charged with defending it and those inside.

Yes, I'd say that is how the officer viewed her at the time. That doesn't mean that he wasn't also aware and mindful that a violent mob was right behind her. It just speaks to what he was primarily focused on in the moments before he shot her: she was the one ignoring his commands to stop and...

No - a discrete threat, not discreet. In terms of being separately identifiable, yes she was - apparently by the officer's calculation. That is correct.

Sure. All about the proper standards.

:clapping-happy: :tearsofjoy: So says you. But sometimes these things go awry for various reasons (prosecutorial overreach and overcharging, lack of evidence, etc.) In some respects, it may like what happened with the J20 prosecutions: Justice Department Drops Felony Charges Against 129...

She was warned. But please by all means, continue to deify poor St. Ashli ... the Patron Saint of all Wayward MAGA Rioters.

No, actually I didn't. Apparently, you inferred it though. None of that has anything to do with how one properly handles a firearm against a particular, discrete individual threat.

Likely while grossly violating Rule No. 4 of basic firearm safety: 4. BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TARGET, YOUR LINE OF FIRE, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND YOUR TARGET. Your view would be obscured by the umbrella, which would potentially leave you in the dark as to what all might lie beyond that umbrella. In...

Wrong. Again, wrong. Really ?

Reported by WHO ? :tearsofjoy: At any rate, that's not correct - watch the first few seconds of the video, first guy up shoves his shoulder into an officer: Video shows fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol I could explain it to you (and have), but I'm afraid I can't make you...

So what ? Last time I looked, when some is chucking stuff at you from behind an umbrella, it's kinda of hard to draw a bead on who is actually doing it. Almost 50 Chicago cops were injured last week during statue protest - as 'criminal agitators' launched fireworks at them and threw bottles...
