164. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see people on this site expressing "glee" about her death

Thu Jan 7, 2021, 09:48 AM

Jan 2021

What I saw were people on this site who were concerned that the woman could have had a pack loaded with explosives or anything else dangerous and perhaps didn't obey strict orders to stay where she was. I saw people posting that it was too bad she was shot, but security needed to protect people in Congress who were being attacked by those intruders/terrorists.

Was security supposed to take a chance that she was breaking in to shake hands and give hugs to the people in Congress, or were they there to protect the lives of the people they were hired to protect? It's a shame someone was killed, but that woman put her life in the hands of Trump, followed his orders to go to DC to participate in the violence, and followed Giuliani's suggestion to "combat" the people in Congress.
