Summary
Matthew Huttle, a 42-year-old pardoned January 6 rioter, was fatally shot by an Indiana deputy during a traffic stop 6 days after Trump granted clemency to over 1,500 Capitol attackers.
Huttle, previously sentenced to six months in prison, was pulled over for driving 70mph (113km/h) in a 55mph zone and faced arrest as a habitual traffic offender.
According to newly released body camera footage, Huttle said “I’m shooting myself” before reaching for a loaded gun in his car, prompting the deputy to fire.
Prosecutors ruled the shooting “legally justified.” His death adds to mounting legal issues among pardoned rioters.
Lol the cop is like say less ill do it for free
Looks like the trash is taking itself out these days!
More wasteful government spending. Guy said he was gonna shoot himself, why waste ~40 cents?
Yeah, you totally can believe this kind of guys. His word is the truth itself. Like Trump’s word of honor.
If anyone is interested, the Weird Little Guys podcast did an episode on him.
Police officer: “And I took that personally.”
“Paid leave and I get to kill someone!”

The only good Nazi…
Check out the story of John Rabe. Hes the closest i would concidder go be a “good” nazi. He attempted and in some cases maneges to protect chinese civilians during the “rape of nanjing”.
I felt bad for his dog in the back seat of the van when he got shot.
Mission failed successfully?
Most American headline ever.
Naw. There’s no mention of the cop shouting “Murica! Fuck Yeah!”
He’d still be alive if trump hadn’t pardoned him.
Then I suppose the pardon did some good for the world. Shame it did more bad though.
So far… Maybe they’ll all turn into classic examples of why you shouldn’t lick Nazi boots.
I mean they’re being terribly slow about it, but I hope for a full set of “some ways to die” stories. This is at least the 2nd one I’ve heard.
The State: “Hold up, that’s MY job!”
I’m trying some aldi frozen sushi.
it’s… okay.
Any idea who’s the younger traitor pardoned by Trump? Trying to estimate the maximum year for “pardoned rioter” news title.
Every one of those fucking traitors should shoot themselves.
