Ms. Babbitt was not "joining a crowd".  There were Capitol Hill police all around her, she was, per video evidence, trying to gain entrance, unarmed into the hallway adjacent to the House.  There were no other individuals who breached the Capitol in that hallway.  If she were such a threat, she would have been certainly detained by the various law enforcement personnel in her vicinity.  She was shot, point blank, by an individual whose identity, for a certain reason, the gov't wants to hide.  

Regarding Sicknick, see Lifer's post above.  His death, though tragic, was caused by, according to family members, a thrombotic event.  Do you think it was because of the pepper spray he received?

Certainly happy to hear that the DC Circuit is allowing individuals, such as those below, whose only crime was trespassing (misconduct) to be free on bail and not have to plea bargain for a crime they did not committ while incarcerated indefinitely.  Clip the wings of the DOJ.  From the DC Circuit:

"Munchel and Eisenhart did not organize the election protest or the ensuing march to the Capitol, hatched no advance plan to enter the Capitol, and acted in concert with no other protestors. Nor did they assault any police officers or remove any barricades in order to breach Capitol security. They decided to enter the Capitol only after others had already done so forcibly. By the time they made their way to the building, police were making no attempt to stop or even discourage protestors from entering. To go inside, Munchel and Eisenhart walked through an open door. While there, they attempted neither violence nor vandalism. They searched for no Members of Congress, and they harassed no police officers. They found plastic handcuffs by chance, but never threatened to use them. Munchel’s threat to “break” anyone who vandalized the Capitol was intended to prevent destruction and was addressed to no one in particular. [snip] Munchel and Eisenhart voluntarily left the building -- while many other protestors remained and before the police began to restore order. Their misconduct was serious, but it hardly threatened to topple the Republic. Nor, for that matter, did it reveal an unmitigable propensity for future violence. "

Yet, they have been held without bail until now.
