"And her death could have been avoided, if she had just followed the law"
Oh boy, that Capitol building has historically always been open to the Public, while in the discourse of Public Business. As a USA citizen, Ms. Babbitt has the right to redress her grievances with her representatives in Gov't in person, as noted within the U.S. Constitution. Kinda hard to trespass, when it is the property of "We the People" and she is one of the "We"
She was conducting herself in a civil manner. What she did was less egregious than Crispus Attucks actions at the Boston Massacre.
What law specifically do you contend that Ashli broke that was deserving of the death penalty by judge, jury, and executioner, Mike Bird?
Was Ashli unarmed? Unarmed violent right wing terrorists, a citizen revolt or Armed Insurrection?
Please look up the definition of insurrection. Please do not allow Liz Cheney to redefine that word for you. The Crowd got out of hand. Normally there are better crowd control methods deployed, than shooting unarmed women in the shoulder to bleed painfully to sudden death at near point blank range.
Lt. Mikey Birdbrain is NO more a hero than Cadwallader Blayney of the 38th Regiment of Foot in the British Redcoat Army, keeping the peace at Boston Commons in the British Colony of Massachusetts.
Wanting to hurt, is unequal to wanting grievances to be heard.
Yet, you are the intent insinuation expert.
Liberte', Egalite', Fraternite' ...pardon Ashli's French.
