Air Force Grants Full Military Honors To Ashli Babbitt

The Air Force decided to extend military funeral honors to deceased (MURDERED) Senior Airman Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed (MURDERED) by a police officer during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

 

The decision came after Air Force leadership during the Biden administration previously denied the request in February 2021, shortly after Babbitt was killed. The decision also comes on the heels of a wrongful death settlement reached in July, which resulted in the government paying the Babbitt family nearly $5 million.
"On behalf of the Secretary of the Air Force, I write to extend the offer for Military Funeral Honors for SrA Ashli Babbitt," stated an Aug. 15 letter from the undersecretary of the Air Force, sent to Babbitt's husband, Aaron, according to the family's legal representatives. "After reviewing the circumstances of Ashli’s death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect."
"After reviewing the circumstances of SrA Babbitt’s death, the Air Force has offered Military Funeral Honors to SrA Babbitt’s family," an Air Force spokesperson confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Babbitt was shot and killed by a U.S. Capitol police officer as she was attempting to forcibly gain access to the Capitol chambers during the events of Jan. 6. Roughly three months later the Department of Justice announced it would not be pursuing criminal charges against the officer who shot Babbitt.
"There is no better example of how a leader is supposed to act, than right here in this letter," said retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a longtime Trump confidant who spent a short stint as the president's national security advisor after a long tenure in the military and time leading the Defense Intelligence Agency, in response to the undersecretary's letter restoring Babbitt's honors.
"May Ashli Babbitt now Rest In Peace and her family gain some measure of solace for the wonderful person she was and the light of truth she brought to each of us," Flynn concluded.

Trump DOJ Agrees To $5 Million Settlement To Family Of Ashli Babbitt

On Friday, news broke that a settlement in principle was reached in the Ashli Babbitt wrongful death lawsuit brought against the US government by the Babbitt family.
Judicial Watch brought forth this lawsuit and has represented the family for years.
The lawsuit extensively details the history of incompetence and multiple revocations of firearm privileges for previous dangerous incidents involving Officer Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered Babbitt in cold blood.
This includes a failure “to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements,” leaving a “loaded Glock 22—the same firearm he used to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt – in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center,” and a shooting into a moving vehicle stolen by teenagers, where the off-duty cop reportedly struck homes nearby with his bullets.
“Lt. Byrd had a reputation among peers for not being a good shot,” the lawsuit alleges.
In January 2024 Judicial Watch filed a $30 million wrongful death suit against the federal government for the Capitol Police shooting of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt.
The Washington Examiner reported that the suit was filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband, Aaron Babbitt, and claims the officer who shot Babbitt was “incompetent” and “dangerous” and should have recognized Babbitt posed no threat to Congress when she entered the House speaker’s lobby.
On Monday, the US Government agreed to pay $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt who was shot dead in cold blood by Capitol Police Officer Mike Byrd on January 6, 2021.

Judicial Watch Files $30 Million Wrongful Death Lawsuit against U.S. Government on behalf of Ashli Babbitt’s Husband and Estate.

 

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021 (Estate of Ashli Babbitt and Aaron Babbitt, et al. v. United States of America (No. 3:24-cv-00033)).
The lawsuit includes claims against the U.S. Government for wrongful death, assault and battery, and various negligence issues.
Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was a 35-year-old resident of San Diego, California, where she owned and operated a successful pool business with her husband Aaron. Ashli traveled alone from San Diego to Washington, DC, to attend the Women for America First (aka Save America) rally on January 6, 2021, at the Ellipse.

Lawsuit excerpt: (More details at the link.) ‘The shooting occurred at the east entrance to the Speaker’s Lobby. After demonstrators filled the hallway outside the lobby, two individuals in the crowded, tightly packed hallway struck and dislodged the glass panels in the lobby doors and the right door sidelight. Lt. Byrd, who is a USCP commander and was the incident commander for the House on January 6, 2021, shot Ashli on sight as she raised herself up into the opening of the right door sidelight. Lt. Byrd later confessed that he shot Ashli before seeing her hands or assessing her intentions or even identifying her as female. Ashli was unarmed. Her hands were up in the air, empty, and in plain view of Lt. Byrd and other officers in the lobby.’

(Excerpt from article) ‘The lawsuit argues that, based on prior incidents involving Lt. Byrd, the Capitol Police, Capitol Police Board, and ultimately Congress, as Lt. Byrd’s employer, “knew or should have known that Lt. Byrd was prone to behave in a dangerous or otherwise incompetent manner:”

 On J6

Ashli Babbit was unarmed and was shot dead in cold blood by Officer and murderer Michael Byrd without warning.
Rosanne Boyland was beaten by Officer Lila Morris while she lay motionless on the ground.

 

 

Michael Byrd, the piece of shit, murderous bastard who shot unarmed, non resisting, J6 protestor, Ashli Babbitt in cold blood, promoted to Captain.
Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd, who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt inside the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, has now been promoted to the position of captain.
Byrd, who has been in the position of lieutenant, shot Babbitt as she was trying to make her way into the Speaker’s Lobby of Congress through a window on Jan. 6, 2021. After the fact, Byrd did not face any charges.
Babbitt, 35, was a supporter of former President Donald Trump as well as an Air Force veteran. She died after being taken to Washington Hospital Center.
Byrd previously told NBC that Babbitt, who was unarmed at the time, was an "imminent threat and danger to the members of Congress" and that he just wanted "the truth to be told."
He recounted in the interview that he felt very afraid when he was in the chamber with the protestors gathering in the Capitol building. He said that there were "reports of shots fired through the House main door onto the floor of the chamber." 
Those reports later turned out to be false and he told NBC that his ignorance of whether she was armed "did not" alter his decision to shoot. He also stated that he had "saved countless lives."
After Byrd's conduct was internally investigated by the Capitol Police, it was determined that his "conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer’s own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury.”
The investigation goes on to say that his actions may have "potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of rioters."
Later, internal documents from the Capitol Police showed that there was "no good reason" to shoot Babbitt.
