Ashli Babbitt's Death: Hero or Hypocrisy? Deadly Force Rules Broken on January 6

from Hidden Threads: Real Private Investigators. Real Cases. Real Stories. · host Macky Outlaw

Send us Fan MailIn this hard-hitting episode, Macky Outlaw and Jus break down the shooting of Ashli Babbitt during the January 6 Capitol events. An unarmed Air Force veteran and mother was fatally shot while climbing through a broken window in a barricaded door—yet the officer who pulled the trigger has been widely labeled a hero and cleared of any wrongdoing.We examine how this case directly contradicts the long-standing American legal standard on deadly force: Deadly force is generally not authorized to protect property or to eject a simple trespasser. In the United States and similar legal systems, deadly force is only legally justified when the occupant reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent imminent death, serious bodily harm, or the commission of a violent felony (such as arson or rape).Was there truly an imminent threat of death or serious injury to justify lethal force against Babbitt? Or was this a case of selective enforcement and political narrative overriding consistent rules? We discuss the video evidence, official investigations, the double standards in how force is applied, and what this means for equal justice under the law.If you're tired of "rules for thee but not for me" when it comes to use-of-force standards, this episode is for you. Tune in for a no-holds-barred conversation on accountability, self-defense principles, and why the hero label here raises serious questions.Support the show866.910.7499 [email protected]
