True. But I probably have less sympathy for the “less violent” protesters that day than some on this board. I’d need to hear a pretty convincing argument for why they should be paid.

Just showing up and participating was a pretty stupid decision. Not going home when some turned to violence was another stupid decision. Now we can debate the level of criminality that took place among individuals, but I have a tough time feeling sympathy towards participants of 1/6. It was not a peaceful protest.

Almost none were unwitting about what was happening.

Don’t worry, some here will find a way to blame Pelosi.

I said in the past they should all have been reviewed individually. The ones that attacked officers obviously should not have been pardoned. Some that just walked around probably had too harsh of penalties.

Not hard to give an individual thought, not one shaped by LW or RW media. Now what do you think of Walz pardoning a child predator with hopes it would keep him from being deported? Forget who brought the story to our attention. Just give us your individual response.

I would have to go looking for the actual reporting on it and I don't care enough to go looking for it. I am sure there is more to it than as depicted here. A pardon doesn't prevent deportation, and why would Walz care?

A brief summary for you. You voted for Tim to be the VP of the US.

Ya, I’m in the same boat, haven’t looked into it much. Barely looking, the optics aren’t great. Why did this man’s story resonate with Walz? Not a national story, so I understand why people don’t care, but still an odd cause for him or any politician.

Putting any effort into helping a non citizen child abuser is sure way to get some unwanted attention. I’m not sure why any politician would do that, feeding the sharks.

You’re both correct. This isn’t difficult.

Walz shouldn’t have pardoned the creep.

Trump has a long list of really sketchy pardons too.

OK,OK I had to go find legit news report. Still bad judgment, and unnecessary publicity. The Laotian was legally admitted in 1994. In 2006 he was convicted of molesting the 10 year old. His status was revoked and a final order of removal was entered by Immigration & Nat. 20 years ago. So I don't see what anyone thought a pardon would do. In Minnesota Pardons are granted by a Board not the Governor, and they granted a pardon. The Pardon has to be reviewed by the Clemency Panel which has three members one of whom is the Governor. They unanimously upheld the pardon. Why I don't know, except the victim, submitted a statement asking that the molester be Pardoned. I don't see why that matters he/she was 10 at the time ofthe crime and I am guessing related to him.
