    These are the same people who often refer to themselves as "the real Americans." Newsflash: real Americans don't do what they're doing.

    Saw something that indicated the woman shot was shot by police. Not to be critical of them; if you don't comply, they have the right. But I think she was not shot by the protesters.

    Perfectly willing to hear about the circumstances before judging either way.

    agree, want to hear more, but anyone breaking into this government building could be shot, that is the risk they took

    Wow, it's amazing how fast "mostly peaceful" and "police brutality" went out the window when the players changed.

    A cynical person might conclude that it had nothing to do with actual humanity, and everything to do with lopsided politics.

    Well in the time I have been here, I have often read how trespassers are fair game and can be shot on sight. Yes?

    looks like she died, was shot inside the building, not too smart if true

    "Updates: Capitol breached by pro-Trump protesters, woman shot inside dies"

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/capitol-breached-protesters/story?id=75081629

    "A woman was shot and killed during a standoff inside the U.S. Capitol between law enforcement and supporters of President Donald Trump, who breached the building, forcing a lockdown with members of Congress inside."

    Mostly peaceful protest, at least that's what I heard all summer as the cities burned and people were attacked. Democratics, relax, your world is not coming to an end, it is what you have created, it is coming to fruition.

    First time the U.S. Capitol Building has been invaded by terrorists since the war of 1812.

    First off, if you're going to try to make claims about history, do please try to be accurate. Actual Puerto Rican terrorists invaded the Capitol in 1954 and shot five representatives (3 D's and 2 R's, for those interested in keeping score). Carter pardoned those terrorists.

    ETA: There was also the time that Obama's buddies detonated a bomb in the Capitol in the '70's, but I suppose you'd try to quibble that a bombing doesn't constitute "invaded".

    Why? Because the insurrection failed?

    Funny how the tens of thousands of looters and shooters don't represent the left but the few hundred people that broke in represent the 70 million that voted for Trump.

    If she had said "hands up, don't shoot" would that be better?

    Wrong. A terrorist was inside the White House beginning in 2008.
