Ever since I saw the video of [Ashli Babbitt] being shot, her expression's stuck with me. She had "this was not supposed to happen" written across her face. A different person could have predicted this outcome considering how apparently insistent the people behind the door were that they would shoot anyone who'd try to come through, but not her.
Hmm, is it really harmless? Maybe they personally didn't engage in violence, but seeming to support it can embolden the actual violent people and make it harder to shut down.

Possibly yes, but that feels too attenuated for me. My threshold is fairly high (though note that I'm not talking about all J6 defendants).
