That was sad that anyone lost their life. Her name was Ashli Babbitt.

Are you saying she deserved it but it’s sad?

Sorry, that was not his point. My kids never got a participation trophy, we didn't even know what that was. Never heard the term until the 90's or later. At best, we gave out team pictures and pins. We used LL uniforms that were passed down from the other teams for years. And why belittle someone who busted their ass for thirty years in a plant or in front of a blast furnace? Did you have bullets whizzing over your head at anytime in your existence or at your cush job? Don't think so. I worked at the Fisher Body plant in school in temps over a 100 degrees. No a/c back in the day. A real cake walk. I provided a great education for my kids at no small expense and it paid off in spades. That's was what I was supposed to do. No they were not spoiled brats. They were both working p/t at 16 and all thru college just like me. They both developed a great work ethic. If they wanted something, it was understood they needed to work for it.

yeah actually that was exactly his point, whether you choose to accept it or not. He also wasn't directly speaking to you but in generalities about a generation, and the proof is in the generation of kids that are now in their 20s and 30s. And don't see how being in the military have anything to do with what he is talking about, that doesn't have anything to do with anything. Again, he isn't speaking about you. He also never insulted people that worked in a factory, he actually mentioned how lucky those people are because they graduated high school, got a factory job, worked thirty years and then got to live off their pension (this is exactly what my father in law did), which basically bankrupted a lot of companies here in the us, because a company shouldn't have to be paying you out for thirty years after you retire from there.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, your generation fucked a lot of things up...but it started with socialist FDR and his bs policies that gave your generation a great life, but it wasn't sustainable and fucked a lot of shit up.

Should we defund the police for shooting an unarmed person?

You asked her name, and I wanted to let you know who she was.
And it was sad she lost her life.
I certainly don't want to defund the police.
But I'd like to hold the people responsible who put her in that position.
She was a fellow decorated veteran who served multiple tours overseas, and obviously lost her way in the far-right echo chamber.

She has the same rights as anyone regardless of her politics. Notice the lack of outrage from those who have lost their way in the left echo chamber.

no one put a gun to her head and said hey go be a fucking moron and storm the capitol...instead, she dealt with the consequences of being a fucking moron, just like any idiot who does not comply with a cop.
