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.

    • 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…

    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*

    Gosh, this is so stunning and shocking. Never would have seen this coming, I mean, he doesn’t even look like an antifa drag queen.

    “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!

        Of the 1,600 that got pardons, 3 rejected them.

        Good for them I guess. But there’s still 1,597 brown shirts.

    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.

    In case people miss it- warrant is from 2016 but since the warrant had already been issued then the legal process had been started and there’s no statue of limitations to make it expire.

    So… wasn’t Rittenhouse justified by these people for killing someone that was guilty of something similar?
