The area where you circled on the left, above Byrd's gun, you can see an obvious arm movement that does not belong to anyone you have yet identified. This occurs when the person you have circled walks to the left side of the corridor.
There are only 3 people including officer Byrd in the hallway. I've watched the video now multiple times and in slow motion. At one point you see the person who's in the door way move to the center of the room, then you see him move over to the left side where you are seeing two people besides officer Byrd.
There are also more movements in the back of the corridor. One person even seems to sit down for a moment. I don't think these are all the same people but it may be.
You're counting 1 person as 2 or 3.
But the number of people in that corridor isn't really that important. What's important is that they are not taking defensive postures, and besides Byrd, do not have raised weapons.
At first Officer Byrd doesn't have his pistol drawn either. At 1:39 the 3 officers in front of the door (on the side with Babbitt and the rest of the mob) leave. At 1:41 members of the mob start busting through the windows with a club an a motorcycle helmet. At 1:55 Officer Byrd reveals himself and you can CLEARLY hear someone yell "He's got a gun." He yells it 4 times. Someone else yells "He's got a gun." Only Officer Byrd is close enough to see what's really going on. In fact, you can't really tell whether the two officers on the far left have pulled there guns out or not. It's too far away to see. One of them is in a "defensive posture" the entire video because he's pressed against the left wall just like officer Byrd. At 2:12 A FULL 15 SECONDS AFTER MULTIPLE PEOPLE YELLED "HE'S GOT A GUN", Ashlii Babbitt starts crawling through the window and gets shot. She had plenty of warning and plenty of time to decide on whether or not she wanted to crawl through and decided to crawl through anyway.
Doesn't change anything regarding my point. If you let people break through barricade after barricade, you owe them a very clear warning, that breaking through the next barricade will be fatal. Regardless of who or what is behind the barricade.
No you don't. In my scenario your family wasn't in imminent danger when the thugs crashed through the gate at the gated community. They arguably weren't in imminent danger when the party itself was crashed if they weren't in the living room, though the people in the living room were. When the thugs got to your back bedroom you didn't own them a dog gone thing. The fact that the gate guard and the door guard might have been derelict in their duty to use lethal force, if they had such a duty anyway, doesn't create some magical duty for you to later give ANY warning, let alone some "specific" warning to the one jackass they tried to push through to your family after the others backed off and said "He's got a gun." I doubt
@Anti Federalist would put his family in danger by hesitating to use lethal force just because the gate and door guards didn't stop the thugs either. I don't think ANYBODY on this forum would do that.
I would trust them to have the courage and composure* to calmly evacuate through the established evacuation procedures that had been already called into effect. Which was roughly 30 minutes before Ashli Babbitt was shot IIRC.
So....I showed you the screen shot of members of congress in that corridor just 2 minutes before Ashli Babbitt was shot. Where the hell are you getting "30 minutes" from? And YOU reposted the same video! Again, you're watching it drunk. At 0:10 in Rep. James P. McGovern (D Mass) is seen in the corridor with about 10 to 20 other members of congress. The camera pans away and by 0:38 the corridor is clear. By 2:12 Ashlii Babbitt climbs through the broken out window and gets shot.
(*unlike Josh Hawley who ran like a bitch)
LOL. Yeah, that's accurate.
It depends. Would I have time to issue a clear warning to that individual, without endangering myself? Just a brief 2-3 seconds to get eye contact and say "stop or I'll shoot"?
The timeline is 4 of the 5 thugs are yelling "He's got a gun" for 15 seconds and the fifth thug, for reasons only known to him, keeps coming. No sane person would convict you of anything for shooting that fifth thug under those circumstances. No way, no how.
If my house has a functioning barricade (and it was, still functioning, a barricade is intended to slow, not stop), and has multiple people behind me to assist me if needed, then yes, I believe I can afford the 2-3 seconds to avoid needlessly shooting someone who may have not heard the warning.
So "multiple people" means 3 including yourself and your facing a crowd of about 20 thugs and one's crawling through the barricade after at least two of the thugs yelled for 15 seconds "He's got a gun." Okay. If you are that restrained cool. But nobody would convict you for shooting him. I wish Daniel Penny had shown that much concern for Jordan Neely's life. Jordan was unarmed (not even a 3 inch pocket knife like Ashlii Babbitt) and Daniel had him in a "restraint" for 5 minutes before turning on his side and putting on a choke and holding it for 51 seconds after Jordan was no longer moving. Oh, and Jordan was acting alone and Daniel had help in the form of someone holding Jordan's arms so he couldn't protect his neck. Maybe if Officer Byrd had just choked Ashlii Babbitt to death the alt-right would consider him a hero too just like Daniel Penny? I'm betting the answer to that is no. I could be wrong.
You're the brainwashed one in that you keep multi counting the same person. There was only ONE person moving around in the hallway and I've proven that with screenshots. And he moved to the left side next to the second officer who was in the same defensive posture (pressed against the left wall) as officer Byrd. You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Like your false claim that there as 30 minutes between congress being evacuated and Ashlii Babbitt climbing through the window when the video clearly shows there was only 2 minutes.
