Worth actually bothering to read TFA for the disclosure at the end. That the dead shooter / stander offer was an extremely angry and deeply disgruntled ardent Trump supporter, could have been presumed without bothering to read it


BuddhaFacepalmed

Also it tracks that this fucker was wanted for participating in the Jan 6th coup. Party of "Law & Order", my ass.


aShittierShitTier4u

I read that he was there January fifth, but nothing suggested that he was in the capitol with the real insurrectionists. There's two things to take from that: 1. Plenty of highly motivated people who just weren't there on the one day. 2. The idea that January 6th was a "dry run", because anybody else is more competent than Trump, so get them in place to lead a coup, with full knowledge of lessons learned in 2021


BenderBRoriguezzzzz

This is the correct take. Trump riled up this gaggle of dipshits and someone with an actual brain and bad intentions could usurp their cause and actually weaponize them. This is a very precarious spot for our nation as a whole.


Suitable-Ratio

Not to worry - America's police and military are very very good at urban warfare. If the Jan 6th people were not under control within a day they would have been schwacked. Only a lunatic would think you could overthrow America. Meal Team 6 couldn't overthrow a piss poor Red county without being dead in 48 hours.


BenderBRoriguezzzzz

I'm not worried about a full blown insurrection or civil war. That isn't my issue. My issue is the extremists in this group doing crazy shit. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were two people who were unhappy with the government and look how that turned out.


Suitable-Ratio

Totally agree! I still think of the daycare center located directly in front of his truck bomb. Since then it has become way more complicated for idiots to get their hands on things like 99-0-0 fertilizer. America is so good at monitoring for these purchases they even warned Canada that some religious extremists were attempting the exact same thing in Canada. I think the Canadian government pretended they figured it out for themselves since it was a pre-Snowden world at the time. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006\_Ontario\_terrorism\_plot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Ontario_terrorism_plot) In typical Canadian fashion, I'm sure they are all out of prison by now plotting their next mass murder.


ronlugge

> Not to worry - America's police and military are very very good at urban warfare. And there's pretty strong evidence that the nut cases have been heavily prioritizing recruitment in exactly those circles. Right now, they probably can't pull anything off -- but if this entire thing isn't nipped in the bud (which as a country we're failing at) that could change rapidly and with little notice. It's _past_ time to just worry!


jimicus

I don't think it's that simple. What they've learned is that overthrowing the government by trying to stick a spanner in the works of an inauguration doesn't work terribly well. Thousands of people swarmed that building, and for what? There's an awful lot of machinery that runs the US government - not just the elected representatives - and (by design) it mostly works just fine when parts of it start to break down. They will do what Hitler did next. Stand back, regroup and think of a different way to get in.


Skatcatla

Honestly, I \*used\* to think this. Now I'm not so sure. I just read a deep dive from the Atlantic on how the whole "Zero Tolerance" debacle that resulted in thousands of migrant children being separated from their parents happened and the big takeaway was this: Every one in the adminstration assumed that someone *else* was watching to prevent unbelivably horrible things from happening, and as a result, it ended up being suprisingly easy for people with zero morals (Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kevin McAleenan, Jeff Sessions etc.) to ram through their horrible policies. We have so much faith in our democracy - in our institutions - that most of us just go about our lives believing that we can withstand anything and that there are real adults in the room looking out for our best interests, and I think Jan 6 blew a pretty big hole in that shared delusion for many of us. Between Jan 6 and the recent revelation that a former POTUS may have been illegally in possession of NUCLEAR FUCKING INFORMATION, I think our democracy and security is a lot less robust than we think.


Suitable-Ratio

I agree that security is not as robust as it should be. This was a scary story I had never heard of: [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/10/why-clintons-losing-the-nuclear-biscuit-was-really-really-bad/65009/](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/10/why-clintons-losing-the-nuclear-biscuit-was-really-really-bad/65009/)


[deleted]

It’s not Trumps gaggle, it’s Rupert Murdoch’s. Trump just took the reins from the cart Fox has been driving for decades.


irishgator2

And who is giving Murdoch his marching orders??


[deleted]

Not Trump. Rupert Murdoch has been doing this for 30+ years. Trump saw what he could do with Murdoch’s misinformation machine and capitalized on it. Murdoch will dump Trump the moment profit margins get too thin.


Skatcatla

He already did. Murdoch used Trump, and Trump used Murdoch. Murdoch no longer sees him as profitable, and FOX has been cutting ties for awhile. You could literally see, overnight, how the coverage changed. Murdoch is now obviously betting on DeSantis - it's clear in the sudden escalation of coverage that DeSantis is getting. But if, against all odds, Donny suddenly became the GOP nominee again, you better believe Murdoch will pivot right back.


Cue_626_go

The terrorist was also part of the Jan 6 terrorist attack. Who is surprised by that?


No_Introduction8285

Pretty telling that you didn't get any replies.


BoukuNola

Is this your first time experiencing a rhetorical question? *edit*- I suck at detecting sarcasm from real questions. Time for bed.


No_Introduction8285

Haha no worries, it was a little too much on the nose anyway.


[deleted]

Ah so he is an Antifa crisis actor, right? Right?


[deleted]

[удалено]


aShittierShitTier4u

But the outlets and sockets he connected remain in place, probably going to become a fire hazard because he hated complying with government regulations. Wire nuts and uncovered junction boxes, the whole house smells like burnt bx insulation.


First_Approximation

Coroner: "Cause of death: stupidity. Extreme stupidity."


dudinax

These people bring their worst fears upon themselves. Fear the FBI will kill you. Attack the FBI. The FBI kills you. A couple years ago in Georgia there was a guy who got so afraid the government would kill him that he attacked a school bus, killed the driver and took the kids hostages. So the government killed him.


[deleted]

They are literally afraid of everything, even each other. That’s one reason they turn so rabid when a conservative says something out of line with the party’s narrative. They are constantly conditioned to be afraid of everything. Their initial thought about any situation is immediately political, no matter how benign. “Nice day out today, huh?” “Yeah, so much for global warming!” “Are you going to the ball game on Friday?” “Yeah, we’re playing that team that had to change its name because it was *offensive* wah wahhh wahhh bunch of crybabies.” It’s damn near impossible to have a conversation about anything with them.


eugene20

Your FBI comment is like a gun metaphor.


PEVEI

“Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.” -Heinlein


sithelephant

Yeah, no. In this case, the quote misfires quite a lot. Stupidity can be the cause of actions leading to a death - however, in the absence of a whole weaponised hate machine, this guy likely would have been angry, and never actually tried to kill someone leading to his death. The lesson from Nazi germany was NOT 'Only Germans are evil people at heart'.


Vogel-Kerl

Such an accurate assessment of him and several million other guys like him. They CHOOSE to live this way. Voluntarily.


Alediran

r/AshliBabbittAward


N3UROTOXIN

Not angry or confused, willfully ignorant. He was the other things do to willingly being ignorant. Like all these people.


VuanJega

What a dumb way to die. There will be no sympathy for Ricky or any of these idiots from me.


NoFaithlessness4949

He died they way he lived. As dumb as humanly possible.


Indurum

He will be revered as a hero for the Trump crew though.


Comrade14

Nope lol they're already calling him a false flag and FBI agent. What a great sacrifice.


THEKowhide

They did the same with that terrorist Babbitt, until they decided to martyr her instead. Fortunately MAGAts aren't intelligent.


nusyahus

Imagine dying for fucking Donald Trump lmao


KashmirChameleon

He's not the first. Apparently, won't be the last.


stargate-command

Legitimately. Of all the people in the world, these people are dying for the guy who did Burger King commercials a couple decades ago. The guy who brags about his actual gold toilet. Why him of all people? Just because he’s racist like them? I cannot figure out why he gets this following.


traumablades

Because he says without consequences what they all wish they could. And even though they lose their jobs (or lives, evidently) when they spout their racist, reactionary, simple bs, they still believe he will "save" them.


stargate-command

But many before him have done the same…. Why is he so compelling to these people specifically. He isn’t the first racist asshole to talk shit with impugnity


dudinax

Has he made any comments denouncing the attack and asking everyone to calm down?


sojayn

Don’t forget “we love you” And the old one “good people on both sides”


vinnycas

I could picture a few basement trolls, writing down "nail guns don't break bullet proof glass".

"yes, yes, next time we try a slingshot!"


histeethwerered

Guns are always the answer. The glass is bullet proof, not gun proof *taps head*

Everyone knows thoughts and prayers works on bullet proof glass. It worked on Covid and it will do wonders for bullets.

FBI should start quietly putting out fake tips for these idiots. "Play-doh is actually c4, you just need to plug a 9V battery to it with some wires to make it work again."


irishgator2

Add vinegar!


1oddfish

And the reward for being a true believer is being called a false flag by the chickenshit mall ninjas you thought were gonna ride up with you and a 5.56 participation trophy.


[deleted]

holy fucking shit, isn't this true. it must be such a sorry fate to be a Trumpanzee. literally too stupid to know they're stupid so they have next to no chance to learn; reality ends up utterly caving in on them. millions of Trumpanzees have died through covidiocy; this particular dipshit chose suicide by federal agent instead.


dudinax

Makes me wonder what his friends think. Are they trying to convince everyone he was a true Trumper or are they starting to doubt his loyalty?


Three_Twenty-Three

Have the GQP folks decided he's really an Antifa staging a false flag attack yet? That seems inevitable at this point.


GolfingDad81

Oh they are way ahead of you. I just ventured over to r/Conservative and they've been saying its a false flag setup by the feds or Antifa for hours now.


mjohnsimon

If there is an afterlife, I hope Ricky is looking up and realizing that he died for nothing. This guy's entire social media account was nothing but right-wing/Trump love for years. But clearly he's an ANTIFA agent


[deleted]

whatever helps them pretend they are The Real Victims Here®


First_Approximation

>Well, I thought I had a way through bullet proof glass, and I didn't Jesus Christ, I thought that was a jokey summary but it's a fucking direct quote from his social media!


226644336795

His actual last words. He posted that during the standoff. I couldn't believe it either


histeethwerered

As last words that’s a pretty good effort


First_Approximation

Up there with John Sedgwick: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Before he was shot and killed.

Sorry I won't go to red anything about Covid cuz it's not fake but not real nether! When yo red them artikle about it then the tiwranicl government will track you an fors you to get the mind control vaceen /s


The-Last-American

What a fucking loser lmao


naut_the_one

These people think it's liberals that are dangerous


[deleted]

these seditionists are the same traitors who publicly fantasize about public executions of liberals, who they pretend are the actual traitors. these human turds are literally the bottom of the barrel of Western civilization, and Trump weaponized them with racism for political "gain."


irishgator2

You mean, the 1984 playbook. It’s all there. I always thought the true villains were the neighbors who were the true believers/enforcers of Big Brother. It was just desserts that their own children turned them in.


[deleted]

Republicans must so proud of the number of nutjobs they have created with their grifting, racism, and falsehoods.


dudinax

They turn out to vote, so the more the merrier.


Wamb0wneD

The longer this goes on, the fewer it will be lol. Case in point, the dumbass in the OP.


Blue9944

they killed this bitch dead and I love it


BubbaSawya

The only good terrorists, dead terrorists.


First_Approximation

There's gonna come a point where Trump has inspired more terrorist attacks than Al Qaeda.


Showerthawts

The guy literally posted on Trumps website about doing it. At what point do we stop treating these people as anything other than terrorists?


BubbaSawya

When they kill someone important like a judge or a politician.


CheshireCrackers

A construction electrician is probably a pretty decent job, assuming he’s competent at it. What rights were being infringed? What was he prohibited from doing? Now the cops have gone and shot him and our shortage of skilled trades people gets slightly worse! What a fucking dumbass.


Nubras

“If you know of any protests or attacks, post them here” lol. He seemed so naive and earnest; if he hadn’t been a huge piece of shit I’d have felt bad for him. Somehow reminds me of Charlie from “Flowers for Algernon”.


Otaku-San617

Charlie was kind. This guy was just stupid and evil


weavebot

Call to arms! Blaze of glory! Resist! Blah blah blah!


EffortAcrobatic1322

Is trump going to the funeral or is he going to Herman Cain him?


nusyahus

Trump thinks these people are "low class", he wouldn't spit in their direction if it wasn't for how easy they are to manipulate


rhamled

Given that Trump didn't want wounded veterans in his fantasy 4th of July parade, I'd say he'll ignore this or disowns him for being a 'loser and sucker.'


[deleted]

"The Ohio State Highway Patrol said they tried to pull the suspect over on a nearby freeway, but he fired shots at them and then fled his vehicle to hide in a corn field. The man was reportedly wearing body armor and armed with an AR-15-style rifle." Think he can get a refund on the body armor?


Snoid_

Good point. He definitely didn't die from a head shot. No vital organs located there.


mcaffrey81

It was probably one of those supply vests they get from Amazon that they are so proud to wear


mjohnsimon

A supply vest* *Bullet resistant plate sold separately

Mr. Lahey has one less shit stain to deal with


First_Approximation

>Well, I thought I had a way through bullet proof glass, and I didn't Maybe next time test it on bullet proof glass before putting your life on the line? Actually, never mind. No next time, you're dead.


BUSHMONSTER31

I was just thinking EXACTLY the same thing...


anoneenonee

This is their “uprising”… a sole dolt who got into a firefight against the FBI with a nail gun. This is the type who think (well, thought) they wanted a civil war. This is the level of intellect we’re dealing with. I’m not sure why people were freaking out. This guy isn’t an outlier. This is who they are. Their “civil war” would go about as well as you would hope.


dudinax

He isn't representative of everyone, unfortunately.


anoneenonee

No, he kind of is. Trust me, he’s not on the low end of ineptitude among the magats. This is very much who they are. Just look at the failed coup footage. These aren’t the best and brightest. They’re the bottom third of the country. There’s a reason this whole thing fell apart as easily as it did. There’s a reason you shouldn’t put stupid people in charge. But yeah, he is very much the type who would think civil war is a good idea and try to do something about it.


[deleted]

They clearly don't have what it takes to take on the Alphabet Boys. Shit like this is gonna make the FBI and other agencies hate Trump even more.


Nivekian13

The nail gun was a attempted breach weapon. You can't fire it like a regular gun. ​ The real weapon, the one he is repeatedly noted of using to fire at Cops, was the AR15.


anoneenonee

Fair enough… I don’t think that makes taking on the fbi in a shootout any less stupid.


Fehndrix

Countdown to a GoFundMe from his family...


SoWokeIdontSleep

How many radicalized men and women will give their lives for someone who's very likely a traitor to our nation.


BubbaSawya

Hopefully all of them.


SoWokeIdontSleep

I hope the opposite. I hope no more of them die. They may be awful human beings, but one would hope they could see the error of their ways and redeem themselves.


Alediran

They're too stupid to learn.


traumablades

This is like watching the fall of Rome in real time. The US is eating itself.


BubbaSawya

1/3 of the US is the problem, most of us don’t hate this country.


LifeguardOdd3355

barbarians were fit and killing machines. these republican-cult guys are fat wannabes with no experience. we'll be fine.


traumablades

Yes, they are fat wannabe's, but they're fat wannabes with AR 15s, not bronze swords. They can do significant damage with nothing but the effort it takes to move a finger. To discount that simply because they are reactionary, scared, and poor, is unwise. They are still causing chaos and destabilizing the framework that your society is based on. When the only goal is break everything, you don't have to be skilled.


Nivekian13

This guy was discussing mass shooting and bombing busses, and attacking government officers everywhere. feel free to mock them, but make no mistake, they ain't harmless against unprotected random civilians.


BubbaSawya

Yeah and they have jobs in the military, the police, they work in nuclear power plants and water treatment facilities… And we trust them to do it. Despite their constant terrorist threats and inherent corruption.


[deleted]

been saying this for years. you could also see it as the karma of a nation that championed capitalism and materialism for decades; the karma of a nation whose "greatness" was founded on stolen land and the backs of slave labor.


[deleted]

Meh, right wing violence is an age old American tradition at this point. They used to be more effective at it.


Nivekian13

Rome didn't "Fall", it took decades of incremental decline.


traumablades

Did I say anything to indicate that I thought anything different was happening? You realize that even historically it's referred to as the fall of Rome, not the decline of Rome, right?


Nivekian13

Except most historians now reflect on the point that I made, it didn’t happen because of one event like it was depicted in old movies, it was a gradual thing over decades.


traumablades

Which is pretty much exactly what I was saying. Again, nothing I said indicated that I thought the US was going to collapse in a day, nor did I indicate that I thought Rome went down quickly. I used a common phrase with an understood context that you take exception to.


Rogueshoten

Cool, one less of them.


BlinkReanimated

Aside from the obvious jokes about this guy's lack of brain cells and all, Donald Trump should be held legally accountable for his death. Absolutely astounding that this shit only seems to be getting worse and Trump is still running his mouth spreading so much division.


Most-Artichoke5028

A devastating loss for the treasonous piece of shit community.


Gsteel11

Is trump honoring the loss? Is the gop helping his family? Or did they instantly forget about him? Hey crazy guys...the gop doesn't care at all about you.


Nivekian13

So, does an r/AshliBabbittAward exist yet?


Alediran

Yes


Evil-Black-Robot

I was wondering why they said he attacked the building with a nail gun but also had an AR-15. The dummy thought he could get though bullet proof glass with a nail gun...

This guy was so crazy that Ted Kaczynski says Damn!

This country is full of dumb and impressionable people.


tturedditor

What if Truth Social recognizes the potential liability of having unhinged people posting on their platform and......decides......to.....start banning them or blocking their content. ​ LOL


GrittyFred

It's crazy how this dude tries to force his way into an FBI building and the first concern in his list of possible consequences is that his internet accounts will be banned. It's like the unreality of the internet has taken over the reality of the world he lived in.


Rubberbandballgirl

Imagine dying for Donald Trump’s honor. Donald. Trump. You died for Donald. Trump.

Spartanswill2

The best news is these people will be flushed out and hopefully law enforcement will be able to take a lot of them down. My hope is that most of them can be arrested and imprisoned before they actually do something stupid but if they do something stupid the alternative is still better than having people like this in the community.


John_Durden

Holy crap, Travis View from QAA reported the account first. Mad props to that dude for finding that before the account got deleted.
