Andrew Taake received a six-year sentence for assaulting officers on Jan. 6. He was arrested Thursday on an outstanding charge of soliciting a minor.

That's crazy that a pardoned criminal broke the law. No one saw this coming.

If you read it, he broke the law before Jan 6th. They had asked the administration not to pardon him because of his previous crimes. They did anyway. So in the spirit of efficiency, resources had to spend two weeks trying to find him again.
And they claim the dems are weak on crime...

Well even if he didn't, it would have taken weeks to go through them all and make recommendations. They were in a rush to do lots of dumb things all at once, so it would be hard to continue caring.

I did read it, and my statement is still the same, a criminal broke laws. I didn't say he did it after he was released.
Modern_medicine_isnt 2 points 2 years ago
Using "no one saw this coming" implied an order to the events. I apologize for implying you didn't read it. You just used a catchphrase in the wrong context. Seems like your heart is in the right place though.

You mean to tell me the people that are willing to violently storm a government building riled up by an egomaniac with an inferiority complex were actually criminals to begin with? *surprised pikachu face*

"You just stormed the capital, got charged with felonies, and got exonerated by the criminal leader of the Executive. What are you going to do now?"
Guy one: buy a bunch of guns!
Guy two: suicide by cop!
Guy three: Rape a child!

He was working undercover to take down the liberal deep state child trafficking conspiracy, on direct orders from Q himself

Justice isn’t blind—it’s just staggeringly inconsistent. Imagine getting a presidential pardon for beating cops on Jan. 6, only to pivot straight to preying on kids. Law and order, my ass. The same administration that fetishized ”draining the swamp” dredged up this clown, then set him loose to fail upward into darker crimes.
Democracy’s not broken—it’s a farce with enablers. Pardoning insurrectionists was always a gamble, but betting they’d not reoffend? Delusional. Now we’re stuck cleaning up the moral rubble.

Does that mean kyle ritterman is allowed to execute him?

I think it's the third I've heard of, the death by cop guy, this guy, and I can't remember the other but pretty sure there was.

Save your breath. The vast majority just want to stroke it to rage bait. Rational thinking is not wanted.
Oh, and let us not forget these fine protesters:

Problem with the last guy is that he didn't grease the shooter when he had a chance and it was justified.
