    Apparently, Ashli Babbitt’s mother was in attendance (who knows why)

    Yeah, she’s been trying to capitalize on the comically stupid and pointless death of her traitor daughter for awhile now.

      there’s no gain from mocking a death. don’t preoccupy yourself here

      additive : death sucks

        I’ll mock traitors all I want. Take this sanctimonious nonsense somewhere else.

        I disagree that her death was “comical” but mocking her absolutely serves the purpose of preventing her being elevated as a martyr for a stupid cause. The more everyone says she’s a sad joke who threw her life away for nothing, the harder it is for martyrdom to gain traction. I’m here for it.

        Do you not know of the Darwin Awards?

        Or are you the type of person who “doesn’t speak ill of the dead” even though they might have done stupid or evil things?

            What did she win for her valiant attempt? It doesn’t seem to be more than consequences. If it was really worth it I woud think more of those brave freethinkers would have piled in. That security guard had a Glock with no more than 17 rounds so it’s not like they all would get the same reward babbit did.

              She wasn’t successful. There are only rewards if you can breach, get the prize, and get out.

              Babit shows the full extent of the risk.

                Well a lot of them seemed to get in and get out and not face persecution for years. What did they get? Selfies?

                  Well, they didn’t stop the certification of the election which was their apparent goal. Not sure the statute of limitations on insurrection.
