Trump Pardons J6 Felons

 We are loving what Trump is saying and doing...for the most part.  But his pardons of those folks who attacked police officers 4 years ago is something we don't love.  If you show up at any event and spray an officer with chemicals or hit them with clubs, you should be guilty of something and you should be punished.

So Trump gets an F in our book with these pardons.

US President Donald Trump on Monday issued pardons to over 1,000 individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, while also commuting the sentences of leaders from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

The commutations apply to the sentences of 14 prominent members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were convicted or charged with seditious conspiracy, according to CNN.

Alongside these commutations, Trump extended full clemency to hundreds of individuals already convicted of serious crimes, such as assaulting police officers and damaging property, in their attempts to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

The pardons, described as “full, complete and unconditional,” include individuals convicted of some of the most violent acts during the Capitol attack. Among them are Julian Khater, who attacked US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with chemical spray; Devlyn Thompson, who assaulted a police officer with a metal baton; and Robert Palmer, who used a fire extinguisher, a wooden plank, and a pole to attack law enforcement.

Pardons, while restoring civil rights such as voting and gun ownership, do not erase criminal records or overturn convictions. Commutations, on the other hand, can reduce or eliminate prison sentences but do not restore civil rights or absolve the underlying offense.

We don't mind if he pardoned people who were escorted into the Capitol and were just looking around as they meandered with the crowd, but pardoning a Proud Boy who was there to harm police is just wrong.  The Police Unions who supported Trump also voiced their opinion and disagreed with Trump's decision.
