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.
Oh look, a good Nazi!
The only good Nazi…
Police officer: “And I took that personally.”
Lol the cop is like say less ill do it for free
He’d still be alive if trump hadn’t pardoned him.

He was almost certainly lying. He was going to try to shoot and run. He demonstrated repeatedly that he didn’t care about the well being of anyone except himself.

Most American headline ever.
Naw. There’s no mention of the cop shouting “Murica! Fuck Yeah!”
I don’t think I will be mourning the death of any jan6 insurrectionist.
The police officer even sprinted after him and tried to wrestle him down so he can’t get the gun. Kinda feel bad for the police officer. Which doesn’t happen often.
Yeah at least in this circumstance he seems to be a good one. Worst part is there is a non zero chance that he will now be harassed by the MAGAts.
If anyone is interested, the Weird Little Guys podcast did an episode on him.
More wasteful government spending. Guy said he was gonna shoot himself, why waste ~40 cents?
I did not find the footage disturbing. Good riddance. to the neo-Nazi POS.
My question is why was he “running” and what did he kill himself to not confeont.
Probably hard to say but related to very bad mental health
Mission failed successfully?
