WNU Editor: According to eyewitnesses and other reports. She was shot by a law-enforcement officer. There has been no official announcement yet, but I suspect we will know more in the next day or two on the how and why she was killed.

This was by far the worst thing that happened today.
RIP,
R,
Capital police fired blindly the closed doors into a crowd. If this had been a BLM rally or riot the politicians would be condemning the police and of course Trump.
People have been beaten and killed by ANTIFA.BLM in cities across the nations. Seattle City hall was occupied by ANTIFA/BLM and a socialist councilwomen with the keys. Portland burned or were otherwise trashed for more than 7 months and it is still ongoing.
20% to 30% of restaurant are going out of business in many cities due to lockdowns. Politicians are causing so much pain for their gain and for their power and it is not based on science.
Maybe the God DAMNED oligarchs in Russia will be fighting the oligarchs (fascists) again, but this time the fascists will be based in Washington.
Without ANTIFA the chambers may have been entered, but no one would have been hurt. DSHS has been fucking around with ANTIFA for 7 months. They have elint on ANTIFA, so they have sketched out some of their TOE. For all that it seems we are waiting for DHS to take care of ANTIFA like we were waiting on Durham. IN VAIN
Scratch a pig or a troop and you'll usually find a white nationalist douchebag.
That's why they chose to be a pig or a troop.
Nothing like showing your true colors. You've done a good job of it.
Sad comment
I got assume we have Chinese, Iranian or Russian foreign nationals or ANTIFA online stirring the pot spouting lies.
For example 5:24.
Shooting by cop have been trending down for decades eve as the population grows. Also, you never give a breakdown of cops, who used their service weapon by race.
5:24 AM
Peel the face back off the head of any Progressive and I'll show you Pol Pot.
