A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?
Here's to hoping for another 1500 "justice by traffic stops."
I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.
Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.
America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.

Died doing what he loved
I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.
It’s almost as though his supporters are a bunch of violent extremists.

Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?
I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it's a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole "brotherhood" thing is performative. I've had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can't wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.
Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun
St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette

On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.
He shouldn't have resisted
Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren't upstanding citizens? What a surprise...
Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US...

"Yes, I am untouchable, the cops can't do jack sh---"
He would still be alive if he was still in jail
He was only sentenced to six months. He’d be dead anyway.
Oh that's good
Oh so these guys supported Trump after all? Whatever happened to them being Antifa and BLM?
trump pardoned all the antifas and made it terrorism at the same time
Just have Trump pardon the bullet out of him.
I don't feel good that this was my reaction, but I stand by it:
When Trump sent his mob of terrorists into the Capitol building to stop Democracy, he wasn't sending his best and brightest.
I mean, he was. Those are his best and brightest.
I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when you ask the Monkey's Paw to be pardoned on your last wish...
Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?

Hey you should never celebrate cops killing somebody who...
Oh? You mean the Jan 6 terrorists who literally attacked cops and then got presidential pardons? Those guys?
Oh yeah okay then.
That's one.
Here's to every single one of them meeting a similar end very, very soon.
In 2023, Huttle was sentenced to six months in federal prison and a year of supervised release for taking part in the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
back to being a riot again is it
Why in the fuck are we suddenly cheering extrajudicial killing just because, for once, it wasn't someone from our side?
... Oh, yeah okay, it wasn't someone from our side. For once.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes. He had a gun and resisted arrest. They're the ones who promoted this society and tough guy police in the first place. People see some poetic karma.
Sorry bud, I'm not losing sleep over this one.

Nah. It's because justice was subverted and karma came in with steel chair to correct things.
Pardons used to be used (usually) terribly to forgive rich assholes who made large campaign contributions... that was awful and I hate it.
In this case the recipients literally tried to overthrow the government... it's beyond the fucking pale.
I think that pardons are a terrible tool - if there is injustice that needs correction it should be done within the system so that everyone can benefit. Pardons, in their best use, just correct individual injustices while leaving the unjust system that caused the issue unaffected.
The same reason we cheered when Luigi (allegedly) shot the UH CEO.
Some people make the world a better place by leaving it.

Gosh, that's....
should've just complied....
Police violence is still Police violence even when it's against insurrectionists. I don't know the exact details here, but if it's like previous police shootings, there was probably a less violent solution.

Hope he's somewhere hot right now.
Get rekt
Trump directly killed this man, if he didn't pardon him then none of this would have happened.....
Pizzagate shooter met his end the same way just a few weeks ago. Are their cops who actually want justice?
No, it's just that the insurrectionists hate authority, and cops shoot people that don't bend the knee. Or they just shoot people regardless.
