This is Ashli Babbitt, 35, who was a 14-year veteran of the US Air Force and a Trump supporter, who had travelled to Washington DC from San Diego, and was shot and killed yesterday when she stormed the US Capitol Building with an insurrection mob.

She played with fire. She got burned. End of story.

Give the female officer who died a little coverage, please.

A month from now she'll be totally forgotten as if she was never alive at all, except for her family, and that's the sad part.

I’m glad she didn’t accidentally kill anyone. What a dumbass.

She was breaking the law even before her failed takeover of the US Capitol.
