It’s standard procedure to ask for a numeric count on any significant vote. Normally it wouldn’t take an hour but they’re voting in shifts due to the pandemic.

Aw. Recognizing staff that’s moving on up to the Biden
Administration. Wish I knew how to spell her name so I could look her up easily.
That’s weird that they just trailed off on that vote without making an accounting.
Here they come. Pence is at the chair.
Do you think soldiers would be nicer to an unarmed mob overrunning their base?
except that Israel and Palestine are actually at war.
She was an unarmed American citizen in a public building. She should not have been killed!
Pence’s chief of staff has been denied entry into the White House.
She was a threat. Threats get shot.
wait, what?
IMO the top priority in this case should have been preservation of human life; however, there were VIPs to evacuate first.

Come on Vermont. Push it over the edge.
First of all, an unarmed person on their own may not be a threat, but an unarmed person at the head of a mob definitely is. Second of all, an armed person who doesn’t use their weapon is effectively unarmed, and an unarmed person can be a threat to another unarmed person.

There were VIPs right in the hall beyond the window; they shot her to protect them.
Louie Gohmert objecting to Wisconsin.
Crap. She was foremost member of a whole violent mob trying to break through those doors, in an attempt to subvert democratic government, and she ignored repeated warnings.
Also, it’s perfectly legitimate to shoot people to protect government property. If I were protecting, say, a strategic radar installation, and an armed mob rushed in and tried to tear it apart with their hands, damn right I’d shoot them.
thats what every cop says about every shooting. Not listening should not be a capital offense.
property is worth more than human life to you?
