When Republicans send their people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing methamphetamines and opiods. They're bringing crimes. They're bringing domestic violence and school shootings. They're raping children. And some, I assume, are good people.

Thanks to Donald Trump, a Texas man who beat police officers with a metal whip and showered them with bear spray during the January 6 riot had his more than six-year prison sentence ended.But 36-year-old Andrew Taake may be headed back to jail anyway. Taake made headlines at the time of his arrest because he was turned in by a woman he met on the dating app Bumble—and for the violence he inflicted on cops.
At the time of the riot, Taake was on pretrial release for a 2016 charge of online solicitation of a minor out of Harris County in Houston. Now that his federal case is over, state prosecutors have picked up the solicitation case once again.
A Harris County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman said that the agency has issued an arrest warrant for Taake. He remains at large as of Monday morning.
Last week, I reporte a different pardoned rioter was still in prison on child porn charges.
So another Jan 6th insurrectionist/domestic terrorist that Trump pardoned is a pedophile. Shocking.

Indiana man pardoned by Trump is fatally shot during a traffic stop
Matthew Huttle, 42, of Hobart was killed Sunday by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said.
State police are investigating. They said the deputy tried to arrest Huttle when “an altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect.
“The investigation also shows that during the traffic stop, the suspect was in possession of a firearm,” state police added. -snip
Another Jan 6th thug bites the dust. Nice 👆
You 3 are just the epitome of hypocritical narcissism. You might as well just jerk off each other to celebrate Trump supporters dying. I'd say that's what you're doing now, but really you're just jerking yourselves off, so get together and bum each other in a sort of triangle of sodomy or whatever it is you guys do.
For posterity's sake:

Happened multiple times over the course of that first (or was it second?) year. One night it ended in attempted (but failed) anal sex, the giver was mostly fully penetrating, but then freaked out, insulted the roommate's sexuality and ran out of the room. Hmm?When people tell blatant lies about me, I tell unflattering truths about them 🙂

It's situational with them and it usually depends on the perpetrator's skin color, racial background and/or religion. White man assaults police because of election theft lies, they should be let free. Black man assaults police as retaliation to unjust police violence, it's "well, sure, but you never hit a cop, so f*ck him."
Rioters Pardoned by Trump Have Extensive Criminal Records
On his first day in office, Donald Trump granted clemency to every person charged or convicted for their role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, even those convicted of violently assaulting police officers.
But Trump's pardons and commutations for people he has called "patriots" did not wipe away dozens of defendants' extensive criminal records or any other criminal charges they may be facing, including manslaughter, rape, sexual abuse of a minor, production of child sexual abuse material, domestic violence, and drug trafficking:
[list][*]Matthew Huttle was recently shot and killed by law enforcement in Indiana during a traffic stop just days after receiving a pardon for his role in the Capitol riot.
Huttle had an extensive criminal history that demonstrated a pattern and practice of disrespecting and disobeying the rule of law, which is consistent with his actions on January 6, 2021.
In one incident, Huttle spanked his 3-year-old son so hard that he left bruises all over the child's backside and neck, and the child had such extreme pain that he could not sit properly for a week. Huttle was sentenced to 2.5 years of imprisonment for the incident.
Huttle also had repeated arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol, and after January 6, Huttle continued to rack up state charges in Indiana for driving offenses.
Less than a week after he received a pardon from Trump, Huttle was fatally shot in an altercation with a sheriff's deputy, according to Indiana State Police.
[*]Theodore Middendorf was accused by Illinois prosecutors of "Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child." Prosecutors said in a court filing that Middendorf "committed an act of sexual penetration." Indiana state records indicate that Middendorf's victim was 7 years old.
Middendorf entered a guilty plea in that case in May 2024 and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. He is currently registered as a sex offender in the state and remains in custody on those charges.
[*]Peter Schwartz had a jaw-dropping criminal history of 38 prior convictions going back to 1991 when he assaulted police officers with pepper spray on Januar 6.
When prosecutors made their sentencing recommendations to the judge, they described a 1994 disorderly conduct case for throwing a "lit cigarette at a victim" and striking her "in her eyes"; a 2004 case for assault with a deadly weapon; a 2019 case for "terroristic threats" for threatening police while under arrest for domestic assault; and a 2020 case of assaulting his wife "including by biting her on the forehead and punching her multiple times."
[*]David Daniel of Mint Hill, NC is charged with "Production of Child Pornography" and "Possession of Child Pornography," which "involved a prepubescent minor" and a child under 12 years old.
"The government's forecast of evidence is compelling and suggests Defendant engaged in sexual acts with two young girls in his own family," Magistrate Judge David Keesler wrote of the case against Daniel. "It is also alleged he took and kept photos of the genitalia of the victims.
Danie's ex-wife who is the mother of one of the victims appeared in court to request that Defendant not be released.
[*]Daniel Ball of Florida threw an explosive device that detonated upon at least 25 officers during the Capitol riot and also forcefully shoved police trying to protect the building.
According to charging documents, Ball had a criminal record before his arrest for January 6, including for "Domestic Violence Battery by Strangulation," "Resisting Law Enforcement with Violence," and "Battery on Law Enforcement Officer."
When federal agents arrested Ball on the January 6 charges, they discovered that he was also in possession of a gun and ammunition, which was illegal given his criminal history, according to prosecutors.
In addition to the January 6 charges, a grand jury in Florida handed down a separate indictment against Ball in August 2024 for "Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition by a Convicted Felon."
[*]Andrew Taake of Texas pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers with bear spray and a metal whip on January 6, and was sentenced to six years in prison. He also had a prior criminal case that remains unresolved.
The Harris County District Attorney in Texas has said that Taake is wanted on 2016 charges of soliciting a minor online. "We are already in the process of tracking Taake down," District Attorney Sean Teare said in a statement.
Taake sent sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl, but was—in fact—an undercover law enforcement officer.
[*]Kasey Hopkins has a lengthy and troubling criminal history including a 2002 conviction for "forcible rape," which resulted in a seven-year prison sentence.
"The defendant had forcible intercourse with the victim, choked her to the point of impairing her vision, banged her head into a wall, and urinated into the victim's mouth to humiliate her," prosecutors state in arguments over sentencing. "When the victim attempted to flee—naked—the defendant caught up to her and threw her down."
Prosecutors state that Hopkins also had other prior convictions for "assault on a law enforcement officer," "operating a motor vehicle without a license," and "possession of a controlled substance."
Prior to the January 6 riot, he discussed the possibility of a "Civil War" and forming a group called "Proud Felons for Trump."
[*]Edward Richmond Jr. was serving in the U.S. Army when he was convicted of manslaughter after shooting a hand-cuffed Iraqi cow herder in the head with his rifle. For the manslaughter conviction, Richmond was sentenced to three years of military confinement and dishonorably discharged.
Richmond's criminal record also include convictions for resisting officers, and driving under the influence, as well as an arrest for domestic abuse.
[*]Jonathan Gennaro Mellis had a previous felony criminal conviction for drug trafficking—conspiracy to manufacture or sell methamphetamine—which resulted in a 20-year prison sentence. He also had a history of arrests, including for domestic assault.
[*]Benjamin Martin pled to obstruction of a public officer in 2003, a 2016 battery charge where he repeatedly struck his 14-year-old daughter, and a 2018 battery charge where Martin choked his girlfriend and dragged her back into the house after she tried to flee.
Martin was on supervision from his prior conviction when he took part in the January 6 riot.
Because of his criminal record, Martin was prohibited from owning guns. When FBI agents arrested Martin in connection with his January 6 case, they found "eight firearms, including an AR‑15‑style rifle, multiple high-capacity magazines for the AR-15, and more than 500 rounds of ammunition."
Martin contended that the firearms belonged to his fiancée and father-in-law. He was separately tried and convicted in California of "Possession of Firearm and Ammunition by Person with Conviction for Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence," a felony.
He continues to deny all wrongdoing.
[*]Edward Hemenway has a serious criminal history, dating back to 2004. In 2006, Hemenway pleaded guilty to "Sexual Battery and Criminal Confinement" and was initially sentenced to three years in prison. His probation was revoked, however, and he was re-sentenced to 5 years imprisonment.[/list]
Trump has defended his decision to give pardons and commutations to all of the defendants charged in connection with the violent January 6 attack, saying they were "excessive," while overlooking the role that the defendants' prior criminal records played in their sentencing.

A Houston man released from federal prison in Colorado last month, after being pardoned for his crimes during the January 6, 2021 insurrection, was arrested Thursday on a charge of online solicitation of a minor dating back to 2016. Andrew Taake, 36, was sentenced to six years in prison in June 2024 after pleading guilty to assaulting police officers with bear spray and a metal whip during the attack in Washington D.C.At approximately 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Taake was taken into custody in Leon County, located two hours north of Houston. According to the DA's office, the arrest occurred after a surveillance operation with the assistance of multiple law-enforcement agencies. Taake was charged with assaulting officers during the insurrection after he spoke about his involvement in the riot with a woman on the Bumble dating app, according to federal court documents.
