    Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service after attempting to force entry into the Speakers’ Lobby. After being repeatedly warned by secret service that they will be shot if they press forward, Zachary Alam broke the window and Babbitt attempted to rush in past the broken glass. Then she got shot. Big surprise.

      Ashli Babbitt isn’t an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:

      she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.

      The USCP isn’t the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.

        Hmm, actually, that’s a pretty solid point. I missed that detail. Thanks for pointing that out.
