A judge reluctantly authorizes a refund of restitution paid by a Jan. 6 rioter. It is the first time a Jan. 6 rioter who was convicted and then pardoned will get a refund.

Bullcrap.
Please stop calling insurrectionists "rioters". It wasn't just a riot, it was far worse, it was an insurrection, an attempted coup. They attempted to change the outcome of an election through violence. They are INSURRECTIONISTS.
This is outrageous! We are now giving refunds to insurrectionists? They committed a crime for God’s sake! Many of these Judges are not fit to do their jobs! Our government is run by criminals!🤬
This is the failing United States of nothing
😡
Marvelous The level of stupidity in Orange land is truly amazing What’s a new President going to do to restore the government?
🙄
Goodbye, Law and Justice! We will miss you!
That’s a shame.
This is so disgusting. They will all be in trumps private army.
What a fucking slap in the face to law abiding citizens.
So, they received a refund for a penalty charged for a crime they committed. The crime was participating in an attack on the Capitol building, including destroying property and injuring people who were there to protect the building and people. But now, we pay them back and pay for damages. Perfect.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter looted and burned cities to the ground. Injuries and death- not even a smack on the knuckles😳
Yvonne St. Cyr - representing Idaho.
Absolutely fucking disgusting.
All the more reason that everyone that broke into the capitol should have been carried out in a body bag. All their assets, home, savings, retirement, securities, kids college money seized to pay for the damages and their spouses and children put out on the streets homeless and destitute.
Meanwhile trump threatens “leftist” protestors with 10 years of jail with no parole for defacing federal property www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
This is utter bullshit
Unbelievable!
* The Republican Party has declared civil war on democracy vis a vis default to Donald Trump for fear of being "Being primaried" . *
Is someone going to see that the cost of damages caused by the rioter comes out of that restitution?
🤮
I can’t even read this beyond the headline…lest my blood boil
That’s bullshit
This is so fucked up! #fascism
This sucks.
we the american elected pres trump in a landslide bc we rejected dems' j6-false narrative. J6 WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST 2020 STOLEN ELECTION, w/c agitators turned into a riot. www.mediaite.com/politics/thi...
Gross.
Paid for with our taxes. 😡
Way to go Merrick garland
Sickening
👎 hard no
Can't wait to see the Trump administration personally refund the $billions being wasted on illegal ICE raids and internment camps.
The convictions are still very much on record!!!!! How is this possible? This judge is a moron!
She appealed the conviction, and was pardoned during this. Therefore the judge approve the refund.
Still a convicted felon in my book! Every J6er is a criminal, in my opinion! I’ll go so far as to say that every god damn one of the J6’ers that breached the fences and walked into the controlled area VIOLATED THE LAW OF TRESPASSING!!
It’s disgusting
Agreed! ✌🏻💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Can you imagine if any democrat exalted a criminal??
He’ll no!!
I'm with you there. Every one of them that entered the building should be found guilty of trespassing. But that didn't happen, exaggerations and lives have been lost.
Absolutely disgusting everybody who is riding there should’ve gone to jail. Oh wait they did and then some orange Chito pardon them and turn them into proud boys who have nothing to be a proud of who are terrorizing America you couldn’t ride a horse scenario.
Nothing says “we love you, you are very special people” like a blanket pardon effectively condoning their actions. What would his response be if it were BLM or Antifa activists doing exactly the same thing right now?
Let's give them all a big steak dinner for trying to overthrow our government. Now Tr©mp can continue the work from the White House.
Shame on this nation!
WTF! Unbelievable and completely disgraceful!
Cool; smear shyte, break windows steal sht And you do t have to pay? Glad to hear how reluctant this judge was Man I hate the regime
We need Nuremberg trials when this shit is over.
x.com/RickyDoggin/...
And it should continue.
So wrong
Great…..bet the asshole spends the doe on porn and ammo. Hopefully he’ll fuck up and rot in jail for something else….they all seem to want to go back.
Fuck this
So the Jan 6th insurrectionists get Mulligans?
Fucking bullshit. They weren’t found not guilty. They were pardoned by a felon.
No freaking way….
At ashli will get nothing
Call DOGE - Clear fraud and waste!!
WTF. This not a government of the people; it’s an outright theft of the national treasury.
Great, insurrection pays. What have we become?
You got to be F kidding me.
Will you be able to sleep tonight?
It just goes to show you how they use the Constitution to benefit themselves. How they can trample it and receive a pardon and be rewarded even getting an ice position. Fucked up huh? Time to LEGALLY get these fools removed from positions of authority
GOOD TO KNOW for future reference
If you live in one of these districts, PLEASE go vote in the special election ~ Virginia's 11th ~ September 9, 2025 Arizona's 7th ~ September 23, 2025 Texas' 18th ~ November 4, 2025 Tennessee's 7th ~ December 2, 2025
Does no one in the current government have any courage? Gutless pussies, every one...
So they got paid to commit treason!? This is a whole new low for America!!!!
Disgusting.
I hate the god fucking damned United States
A fucked up soil in a fucked up country..
Banana Republic.
Such total bullshit!
This is sickening.
We live in looney toons country right now. We got to grab it back.
👀
ONE OF THE MOST DISGRACEFUL ACTS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY. When on GODS GREEN EARTH WILL ALL OF THESE FUCKERS PAY FOR THEIR SHITSHOW???????
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 every day is a TV show
Disgusting
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Fuck this place.
This is sick.
But can we grab ‘em by the pussy? You can do anything.
😵💫
Damn!
😵💫🤬
But I thought being pardoned means you accept your guilt -- so why should he get the money back?
Trump was the instigator in 1/6 & pardoning HIS criminals was expected but horrific.
Failed state
Pay him in nickels.
Outrageous!!!!!
Simply outrageous.
I’m confused. Even tho pardoned, don’t you still keep the conviction on record? She is not ‘presumed innocent’ if she still has the conviction?
She didn’t have a conviction. They dropped the charges and she gets a refund.
charges were not dropped. st. cyr was convicted on 2 felony counts: obstruction and interfearing and sentenced to prison. a pardon does not remove this from her record. in all other cases reaching court, judges have refused to order "refund".
I didn’t say it did, but article references the felony convictions being dropped. She appealed and was pardoned on appeal. Judge says she is no longer guilty in eyes of the law.
She appealed the conviction, and was pardoned during this. Therefore the judge approve the refund.
Fdt
What prompted that?
The pardons, I guess.
Now we’re paying them for attacking us…?!?!?!
Sick
probably spend it on truth social swag.
So her family can get money but mine can't. Lovely
They should pay them in pennies dropped from a helicopter.
WTF?!?!?! 'Scuse me while I get sick to my stomach... 🤢
A pardon doesn't mean you weren't guilty. It shouldn't mean your victims aren't compensated.
What victims? These were court fines and fees. She also appealed the conviction so the judge was stuck with innocence.
It sets a bad precedent. And the judge wasn't stuck with anything. She was pardoned so there was no need to hear the appeal.
Are you referring to no cash bail pertaining to violent criminals with repeated offenses? That sets a bad precedent don’t you think?
Bail is set bdfore guilt has been determined and whole innocence is assumed. Which factors a judge considers aren't a matter of legal precedent. Restitution doesn't equate to bail.
There were around $2.7 billion in damages and extra costs as a result of Trump's riot. We shouldn't have to eat those costs given that it was all the result of crimes with clear perpetrators. Someone shouldn't get a refund just because other criminals didn't pay what they owed.
Am I missing something? When I think of clear perpetrators it reminds me of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
If you're really missing something it's probably intentional.
Definitely not 2.7 in damages, maybe with added security and upgrades. But even if it was, the judge never charged for that. These were just Court fees/fines that wouldn't go to pay back anyway.
March of this year politicos had an article about what Trump's pardons cost ghe taxpayers. That's their number.
Just criminal. So, CRIME does PAY!?
Only in America, you celebrate a Nazi insurrection terrorist 🤦🏾♀️ Stop fucking around and release the #EpsteinTrumpFiles 🪳🌮🤡
So they get back all the beatings they administered to Capitol police officers?
Ridiculous, abusive and unconstitutional
