Pardoned J6er shot, killed after resisting arrest during Indiana traffic stop

We already saw one of the J6ers pardoned by Donald Trump put back in the pokey on a fresh set of federal gun charges.

Now we have a guy in Indiana freed last week by Trump who was shot dead after resisting arrest during a traffic stop on Sunday.

Matthew W. Huttle, 42, of Hobart, Ind., was pulled over on State Road 14 in Jasper County, about 100 miles northwest of Indianapolis, at 4:15 p.m.

When the deputy initiating the stop attempted to arrest Huttle, “an altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect,” according to the Indiana State Police, who added that Huttle “was in possession of a firearm” during the traffic stop, though it’s not clear if he wielded the weapon during the traffic stop.

Matthew Huttle and his uncle, Dale Huttle, were among the 1,500 J6ers pardoned by Trump last week.

The Huttles illegally entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with Dale “carrying a long flagpole with an upside-down American flag attached” that he later used as he was “forcibly jabbing” multiple police officers, among other violent assaults.

In an interview after his arrest, Dale Huttle said he was “not ashamed of being there, it was our duty as patriots,” and called himself “the ultimate patriot,” “because I put myself on the line to defend the country.”

“I have no regrets. I will not say I’m sorry,” the uncle said.

The older guy got 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge.

Matthew Huttle got six months, was released last summer.
