That’s a funny thing to say, purportedly from a lawyer. When exactly did we start shooting criminals for ANY crime, let alone a misdemeanor, during the commission of the crime without any adjudication whatsoever. Last I checked we don’t do that to serial killers, yet here you are, playing judge, jury and executioner for a girl who was trespassing. I’m starting to rethink my ‘leftists are soft on crime’ position, if we apply that to drug dealers I might be on board.

Did others she was with or around commit acts of violence while or in order to attain access to the interior of the Capitol?
Were any of the people she was with or around have makeshift weapons with which they could harm officers or legislators?
Could the purpose of her window entry to have been to open the door to the further interior chambers?
Unless you answer the above with outright lies, Babbit wasn’t trespassing. She was doing far worse and deserved to be shot.
