[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Quote your first post, you've split the link with the word 'here's'

Nope. Still works for me. 

Never mind it might be a bit too much for you at your age anyway, so it's probably best you stick to the BBC!   

Are you suggesting your great uncle is 'past it'

Fixed your corsa yet, Mechanical Mick? 

Too dark and too cold. I have plenty of room to just leave it and let it gather moss.

I will sort it though. Thank you for your concern.

[STEMO]

Hmmmmm....dead rioters to your ancient sigmund corsa, that doesn't usually happen.

[Fraggles Rock]

Make your own mind up don't just believe what the BBC says.    Here's the footage of Ashli Babbitt getting shot. 

Note that on the side of the doors that they were trying to get through there appears to have been nearly as many heavily armed police officers as protestors, who appear to be mostly armed with mobile phones.

WARNING GRAPHIC FOOTAGE IN THE LINK.   Well... it's not that graphic really.  A crowd of police officers and protestors on one side of the doors, someone pointing a gun on the other.  The gun is fired and a person falls backwards into the crowd and to the floor and that's it really, no blood, no guts or gore.  But if you don't fancy seeing a fellow human being getting shot, don't click the link. 

None of us was there so we're all just armchair pundits and keyboard warriors, but I can't see any justification for the use of lethal force in that situation. 

Me neither. Not even a warning.

[Raeturbo]

Coward with a gun

[STEMO]

Hero with a gun. It would have been more than one if it was me.

[dave the builder]

I've not really followed the story but...
America ,so someone trespasses you shoot em   
they soon learn NOT TOO when they are dead 

[Raeturbo]

Nonsense, should have at least been a warning shot first.

[Broomies Mate]

I don't think the woman should have have been shot dead, but......

If a person of authority is pointing a gun at you because you are doing something naughty...... surely you stop doing the naughty thing?

Warning shot?  Why? The warning is the loaded lethal weapon pointed at your bonce!  Unless you are a completely braindead frickin idiot?

To some I guess she will appear as a martyr to their cause ; what ever that might be

FWIW, my take

- don't see impeachment happening, although the GOP might want to think about removing Trump as a purgative
- excusing the wrongdoings of others via police failure tastes bad. Most of the protestors were grown adults who should have known better. There is such as thing as personal responsibility.
- quite liked Mitt Romney's take

Then again, it looks like the Donald just jumped before he was pushed...

NWS.

As for Impeaching Trump, nothing but noise. As Lindsay Graham points out... https://youtu.be/blCEE283FA0 It would take longer than two weeks, at which point it becomes moot.

Got to agree with that, the phrase used last night "President gone rogue" sums this whole ridiculous episode up entirely.

It seems like President's gone limp is now the case. .
Perhaps he has somehow acquired a competent lawyer

[Sir Tigger KC]

A young country whose lifespan so far is a mere 250 years, and during those short years they've had a genocide, a civil war, a couple of wars with the neighbours, four assassinated presidents, 3 impeached presidents and one president who resigned before he was impeached.   

Sounds like a latin american banana republic?  No it's that supposedly beacon of democracy that the media have been talking about the last couple of days, the United States of America!

So it's just business as usual really!
