The U.S. Air Force will provide Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt with military funeral honors, reversing a Biden-era decision that denied her family's request, according to a legal group that has represented her family. Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot and killed by law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as she attempted to climb through a barricaded door to the Speaker's lobby near the House chamber.

Goebbels gave Horst Wessel quite a send-off as well.
And, yes, the two cases are most definitely related.
Both involve the legitimization and sanctification of terrorists.

She died storming the Capitol with the express purpose of hanging Mike Pence and overthrowing the Elected government.

Had she been breaking into MSGT's home through a window, he would have been happy to shoot her.

She died because she refused to comply with orders to stop smashing and climbing through a barricade into a protected wing of the capital during a riot.

She earned every bit of .40 slug. Even by your own double standard metric.
