In my opinion, yes. She believed in what we were doing and she died for her beliefs. That makes her a hero in my book. I'm a disabled veteran, if that means anything, and I respect the hell out of her. What sucks is that one dude came out with a camcorder and replayed the video of what happened. Ashli was shot in cold blood. There were 3 heavily armed Capitol Police in riot gear just behind her yelling that it was okay, they had her. At no point was anyone in danger. Fucking sick. Sorry, friend, like I say. It got worse from there.
I want to always question everything. Was Ashli a hero? I’ve said as much. Am I wrong? I don’t know.

God Bless her. And you.
You too, friend. You too.
