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.
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.
The State: “Hold up, that’s MY job!”
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.
Rest in Piss, Bozo. Shouldn’t have been a dipshit Nazi.
Lemme know where he’s buried so I can use it as a public toilet.

Last sentence is chef’s kiss.
Oh look, a good Nazi!
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.
I’m starting to think those rioters had some issues.
Maybe not the best decision making skills
I did not find the footage disturbing. Good riddance. to the neo-Nazi POS.
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.
Police officer: “And I took that personally.”
“Paid leave and I get to kill someone!”
Every one of those fucking traitors should shoot themselves.
“K. Bye.” - Everyone who’s not traitor scum.
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.
Most American headline ever.
Naw. There’s no mention of the cop shouting “Murica! Fuck Yeah!”
