Five weeks after Capitol Protest, Officer's autopsy results still "pending," plus three suicides
Feb 12, 2021 19:52:17 #
The constant refrain that "five innocent people were murdered by Trump supporters/rioters during the Capitol protests," does not appear to be the whole truth of the matter.
Anyone's death is a somber event, the death of a unique human being created in God's image whom God loves, and is usually a profound loss to their family, to their loved ones, and to their community.
It is noteworthy however, that the U.S. Congress finally had the opportunity to experience what thousands of business owners across the US had experienced throughout 2020, being terrorized by having their place of business looted and vandalized and violated.
The Congress, however, received an instantaneous response and law enforcement protection, whereas when American business owners had pleaded for help, they were informed by their Democrat mayors and governors who had ordered the law enforcement within their command to stand down, that they must understand it was a "summer of love."
Updates From Forbes.com, USA Today.com, and Fox.com:
Trump supporter, Benjamin Phillips, 50, a computer programmer from Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, who had driven to D.C. died after suffering a stroke, the group with Phillips told The Philadelphia-Inquirer they last saw him at 10:30 A.M. when he left to locate a parking space before Trump’s noon speech.”
Another Trump supporter, Kevin Greeson, 55, a resident of Athens, Alabama, died of a heart attack, his family reported, saying in a statement that Greeson had a medical history of high blood pressure and he suffered a heart attack.”
Ashli Babbitt, 35, however, who was a 14-year Air Force veteran from San Diego, was shot in the neck by a Capitol undercover police officer at point blank range, while she was standing still, unarmed, and she bled out.
Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died the day after the attack from, as of yet, undetermined causes: "He returned to his division office and collapsed following the protest, although no injuries were visible. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed from a stroke on January 7th."
It has been reported that he was not struck by a fire extinguisher, as initially reported.
His eldest brother, Ken Sicknick, told ProPublica that Brian Sicknick had texted him on the night on Jan. 6 to tell him he had been pepper-sprayed but felt fine. He told the outlet his brother was dead by the next night, after suffering a stroke.
Five weeks later, his autopsy finding has not been reported to the public, results are still said to be pending.
One of the five people killed in the DC riots, Rosanne Boyland, of Kennesaw, Ga., was a pro-Trump supporter who was trampled to death at a time the outside standing crowd was aggressively being forced back by police officers, according to her friend.
The friend she was with, Justin Winchell, recalled her final moments as protesters began falling over one another.
“I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her,” Winchell told CBS46. “There were people stacked two, three deep … people just crushed.”
He said the clash “basically created a panic, as the police pushed back on them, so people started falling.”
Paramedics tried to revive Boyland, 34, but she died.
“She was killed by an incited event and it was not incited by Trump supporters,” Boyland said.
Two police officers have committed suicide since the incursion into the capitol took place.
U.S. Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood, 51, is reported to have died by suicide three days after the siege.
D.C. Acting Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said at a House Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday that a second D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officer died after the attack by suicide, according to Washington, D.C.’s police chief, marking the third law enforcement death.
Jeffrey Smith, A 12-year veteran of the force, also died by suicide in the aftermath of the event, said Contee.
The details around Smith’s death - including the date - have not yet been made public.
Smith’s is the third police death since the Capitol attack and the second reported suicide among members of law enforcement who responded to the capitol incursion.
In addition, a Georgia man, Christopher Stanton Georgia, a Trump supporter who had been on the capitol grounds is reported to have died by suicide - dying of a gunshot wound to the chest, after he had been arrested following the event and charged for violation of the curfew set by the D.C. mayor.
Two officers with the Capitol Police force have also been terminated and as many as 15 are under investigation for their roles in potentially facilitating the entrance into the Capitol, according to USA Today.

We can be sure of that.
The FBI managed to avoid curtailing ANTIFA and BLM, leaving them free to riot, pillage and loot all summer, killing and maiming US citizens as they did so.
Yet, they have sent agents all over the country seeking and arresting Trump supporters who were photographed standing outside the capitol, and had made no attempt to enter.
Known ANTIFA activists have been identified as being the first to enter the capitol, from pictures taken by Trump supporters, but nothing has been reported concerning any arrest, for they are a protected species.

By "they" do you mean, the federal agencies, FBI, Federal Marshals, and U.S. Attorneys, all of whom serve Biden? - or at least Biden's handlers.
The Democrats are less than convincing actors.

Sicknick called his brother and told him he was pepper sprayed with Bear Deterrent. 70% more caustic and Toxic than pedestrian pepper spray. They said the head wound from the blow from the extinguisher was not fatal.

Hi Milosia,
Actually, he had no visible wounds, including to his head. That media report has been completely discredited.
His eldest brother, Ken Sicknick, told ProPublica in an interview published Jan. 8 that Sicknick had texted him on the night of Jan. 6 to tell him he had been pepper-sprayed but felt fine. He didn't mention bear spray. He told the outlet his brother was dead by the next night, Jan. 7th, after suffering a stroke.
Breitbart.com, on Feb. 4th, reported one theory being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like bear spray, but without any evidence.
The last report I could find on Officer Sicknick was on February 10th by CNN, the Federal Prosecutors indicated a team inside the DC US Attorney's Office is investigating the officer's death.
Sicknick's death is being investigated by the DC Metropolitan Police Department's homicide branch, the US Capitol Police and federal authorities.
Metropolitan Police Department Public Information Officer Sean Hickman told CNN on Wednesday that the case remains under active investigation, and there is no further information available to provide at this time.
