DailyKenn.com — The family of the patriot gunned down inside the nation's Capitol building plans to sue the Capitol police and the yet-unnamed officer who fired the shot that ended her life. 

Ashli Babbitt was shot dead during a protest on January 6, 2021. 

Take aways...

• It is obvious to most that the mainstream media is treating the shooting of Babbitt differently than other police shootings in which the victims are non-white criminals.  

Babbitt is not the first protester gunned down by government authorities. 

• Babbitt's death reminds us of the Kent State University shooting in 1970 when the National Guard reportedly fired live rounds at students protesting the war in Viet Nam. Killed were students Allison Beth Krause, 19, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, (see photo at top) and Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, who died at the scene, while William Knox Schroeder, 19, died later [source]. It has been speculated that the unknown shooter may have received orders from then President Richard Nixon to kill protesters as a means of discouraging nationwide protests. 

• In 1932 military veterans protesting in Washington, DC, were fired upon by police. Two were killed. [source]

• James McFarlane, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, was killed in 1794 during the Whisky Tax Rebellion after President George Washington used federal troops to contain the "insurrection." Oliver Miller and one other patriot were killed [source]. 

• Patriot Crispus Attucks was fatally shot by British troops in 1770 while protesting in Boston. He is considered the first fatality of the American Revolution.

The officer who killed Babbitt has never been publicly identified and was not charged with a crime after a Justice Department review, but attorney Terry Roberts told Zenger News he knows their name,
