    It’s hard if not impossible to have a more justified killing; she was trying to get into the part of the capital where the lawmakers were hiding. Officer held the line and did what they needed to do to protect themselves, lawmakers, and democracy.

      If one had gotten through, more people would have gotten through and a lot more people would have been hurt.

      It’s unfortunate she died, and I believe that most of the people there were rubes that only really intended to shit on desks and piss in each other’s mouths, but mobs go nuts.

      Look at the case of Marina Abramovic… she did a performance piece where people could do whatever they want to her and she would just stand there. It started out innocently enough by the end she was cut up and someone had pointed a gun to her head.

      Anyway, point is, even if you believe people didn’t intend to hurt other people, these things change when mobs realize there will be no repercussions for their actions.

      Holding the line was the right thing to do.

        Well that’s certainly a take.

        Yeah that’s what they need let’s shake them up with a bit of dictatorship and mob rule.
