All the posts and statements going on with lines like "this woman is dead b/c if trump" or describing the incident as tragic are wild.

Maybe someone here can talk me off this point.

I get that a family lost a loved one but I just don't care?

Why should I feel sympathy for a QAnon freak who would kill me?

There's a piece of me that can't let go of the fact that she's still a human being. She got pumped full of hateful propoganda and charged in believing she was doing something good, and died for it. And it's an incredibly forceful response to shoot and kill someone in a situation like that, idk.

Am I crying over it? Not at all. She'd probably want to kill me and you and a lot of people we care about, she's a vet who thought breaching a door like that was a safe idea, she's also a vet, I could go on.

There's a nugget of empathy rattling around in me that keeps me from completely jumping up and down over this, maybe it's misguided, maybe because her beliefs aren't fully on display at that moment. It's an internal thing for me and I definitely won't scold anyone but you asked and I can kind of understand where those people are coming from.

Given her career it's far more likely she was an agent provocateur than a true believer.

An agent provocateur wouldn't play chicken with a Secret Service officer that has a gun trained on her head. This is some really bewildering shit. Secret Service doesn't play games. She wasn't inciting other people to violence, she was leading the charge.

That's a very good point. We're even closer to collapse than I thought if the NSA or similar has true-believer fash on payroll.

*This comment kinda reads laughably naive if you think about Operation Paperclip or w/e, but those fash had handlers, were targeted at labor/red scare/whatever, etc. This seems different.
