Do i think Babbitt indulged in unlawful and unwarranted acts that led up to her death? Yes i do, and it's terrible, but this is what cults like Jim Jordan, Heavens Gate, David Koresh do. Is she a traitor? ONLY in speculation since there was no trial, no weighing of fact, no judgement by a jury.
I see where you are going with this but, this isn't that. No one is in a cult. The cult broke into the capital. The officer was defending himself and the people on the other side of the door she broke through. If she wanted a day in court she should have surrendered or stopped. She could have left?
I do disagree somewhat about the cult issue. I do not dispute the rest. Babbitt put herself in harm way, deliberately, the officer (indeed ALL the Capital LEO's showed great restraint) is guilty of nothing. She should have surrendered of just left. That advice, the "leave or desist" is what i'm
trying to say here. We're spending far too much time on a VERY peripheral issue while literally our house in burning down around us. Just get this over. Keep this up and that $5M will become 10. It wont' stop until we all stop talking about it. The sooner she's forgotten, the better for us all.
