Pardoned J6er, shot and kilked

Matthew W. Huttle, 42 of Hobart, Indiana was shot and killed in Jasper County during a traffic. stop Sunday.

There was an altercation between Huttle and an officer resulting in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding Huttle.

I pray for the officer. Although probably justified, it is something an good officer never wants to do.

As for Huttle, FAFO.

Sorry I don't have a link. I am on a smart phone right now.

Looks like he needed to be in prison for his own protection.

for good behavior along with remorse and a parole officer to set him on the right course. Instead he was told to keep doing what got him in jail.

Like giving a drug addict unlimited access to drugs.
Usually does not end well.

He needed more time. It's a failure to his family and loved ones too.

and the repercussions to sort this out correctly instead of being told it was political
Trump is messing with their heads. They don't know he's even sicker than they are.

And the judicial system processed the miscreants, and assessed them in some form psychologically, and the judge can read people's responses, and demeanor, and makes some judgment when sentencing. All of that, all the money taxpayers spend on that, out the window!!! It's just wrong in so many ways.

19. If he was black and a pardoned drug dealer, would we be claiming foul?

I find it odd that we are assuming he is white, so there is no narrative about the unfairness of his death at the hands of the police. It is all, “well, he probably deserved it”. Just an observation.
