For me, she paid too heavy a price. I wish the law enforcement response had not resulted in a fatality. That being said, her family was not owed any money and taxpayers should not have paid for her treasonous behavior.

You play, you pay. There is no way to predict the outcome. Most did not want to see insurrectionists die because they are all supposed to be Americans. Babbitt was radicalized by the lunatic traitor Trump who sent her to her death knowing that he lost.
I understand what you’re saying. I wasn’t the man who shot her. I don’t know how he made the calculation of where to aim and why. But he certainly took a fatal shot. I wonder if if he intended to use deadly force.
A firearm loaded with traditional ammunition is inherently a deadly weapon, no matter how skilled a shooter may be at trying not to kill whoever they're aiming at. I don't think there is such a thing, from an accountability POV, as less-lethal force where firearms and traditional ammo are concerned.
(Even weapons intended to be less lethal than lead can maim or kill, if the person struck is particularly unlucky or - as seems pretty common - if the person using the less-lethal weapon is intending to inflict the maximum harm possible.)
I have no problem with what you’re saying.
He was rightly exonerated and should be honored as a hero.
I am OK with him being exonerated. I don’t know that this is my definition of heroism. But he did his job.
Ok. All of the Capitol protectors are heroes. They saved many lives. What do you think would have happened if they found Pelosi or Pence? They are technically all traitors but were led by the traitorous Trump. It’s pretty tough when your President is lying to you. Traitor Trump caused this.
I agree, Trump caused January 6th. Then, thanks to a political vote, he paid no cost for it. And I agree, that in defending the Capitol and the elected officials inside, they performed their job admirably. I’m grateful to every one of them for this.
