I remember seeing Ashli standing there naively looking at the gun and allowing herself to be shot. I was shocked and immediately thought "Well I could clearly do better". While I watched other patriots scramble in vain to save her life, I considered all of the ways I could have done better. I would have rolled left and then come out of it with an up-kick to the door. Then as the secret service agent was knocked backward, I would have charged him and delivered three precise karate chops to his neck and gun hand. One would disarm him, one would stop his heart, and the final one would snap his spine in half. I would have kept running around karate chopping everyone and could probably defeat the entire room. Still I look at pictures of Ashli and then the defenders of Joe Brandon's regime, comparing their physiques to my own, and know that had I been there to shake her hand I would have instead done what she tried to do and succeeded. So much better than she did because frankly she was shit at it.

edit: And this is not a threat to use my karate powers against anyone. If I had been there, things would be different. That's all.

I often think about how she spent her last moments. Surrounded by other chuds soyfacing, pointing their phones at her in hopes of capturing the event on their fb live streams. I wonder if she had time to feel any regret for the series of poor choices that led her there.

Looking into it.

Mee-maw would've tanked that. This is what happens when you have no clue how to min-max your pieces. Noobs need to go back to Scrabble and leave Storm the Capitol to the real gamers.

Yeah no chance mee-maw was going down

she should've vote-ed not to die.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

she died doing what she loved

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

I on the other hand would not have died. I would have succeeded and everyone would clap for me.

If I had been there I would have simply used a series of high level ideas and logic to stun and outmaneuver the bodyguard. I would have finished him with an unsourced Thomas Jefferson quote, making him fall to his knees in a Damascus Moment. Then I take down the fleeing senator with a scathing response video

Ashlynn Rabbit, I'll never forget you.

She got too excited

:elmer-fudd: Now we're hunting Babbits!

I like the QAA podcast but Travis' voice cracking as he burst into tears talking about Ashli Babbitt's death in the post Capitol Riot episode was an all-time embarrassing moment

[–] Red_Left_Hand@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's fine to be emotionally affected by the death of a fellow human

I think I got whiplash coming from the Chapo ep where they just went lol owned

My favorite was Brace being in genuine awe at her faith in what she was doing. Which he admits is funny coming from him given he went to fucking war as a volunteer, but as he said "I had a gun at least". He was right though, she charged right in there, no clue what was going through her head, but whatever it was was enough for her to run at that door.

That episode MAGA maidan is still something I go back to every once in a while

To be able to claim "Y'know I get it, I've basically did it, but at least I could shoot back" is pantheon level of windmill-slamdunk

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

no clue what was going through her head

9mm slug I imagine

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

I know I already made Brace's joke that she died from getting too excited, but she really basically did. So in the moment and assured that she ran directly at a guy with a gun.

I got a weird feeling when I found out she had two romantic partners.

[–] TheRealChrisR@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

She really wanted to have two boyfriends. Think about it. Two boyfriends. Thats way better

Found Mark Wahlberg's account

She could've simply dropkicked the agent and she would've have been fine.

Irregardless, she was a true patriot, just like that one guy who crashed his car into the Chinese embassy and asked "where da CCP at?", with a knife.... /s
