These two aren’t comparable at all.

Babbitt was assaulting the US capitol and breaking glass to enter a secure area with members of Congress present.

Good was trying to leave the area after dropping her children off at school.

Babbitt was also repeatedly warned to back down.

Renee Good was complying.

Ootl who's the second one

An insurrectionist who broke down a window in the capital, and climbed through it, then was shot

I still remember waking up that morning, opening reddit back then, and seeing all the posts about storming the capitol. Was a real 'wat da fuck are they doing over there' moment
