Can’t help but notice in that picture that he appears to be the only one fighting, and the “mob” is just standing around while three cops are free to deal with him. There might be a scuffle somewhere else but it isn’t evident in that shot.

Again, in this second picture, he is the only person violently engaging the cops. Everyone else looks disinterested.

This third picture, he has dropped his coat and now people seem interested, but again, he is the only one who appears to be carrying so much as a stick, and everyone else is just standing there in a very unmoblike fashion.

That is the disappointed look you see when an agitator can’t motivate a crowd. I have seen it before, when party planners buy food and balloons and alcohol, hire a band, and can’t get a room full of Republicans riled up to party past their bed time.

Why should he pardon anyone who actually did use violence? Pardon the nonviolent ones makes sense but not the violent ones who for all anyone knows were agents provocateur.

And as for Robert Palmer of Florida, here he is claiming the devil made him do it, as if it wasn’t 100% his own decision.
Blaming others isn’t cool, but it sure helps the enemy:

I figure he had issues with officers in general - might be his rage against the
blue playing out as he does have a criminal record.

BTW it’s also said after he was arrested the first time they let him go and told him not to go back - he went back.

The guy’’s getting what he asked for as I see it.

After Ponder broke his metal pole on the previous photo - he got another one and went after another officer....

Not only did he get another pole, he got a completely new outfit. How does that happen in the middle of a 'riot'?

From Wiki:

The People’s Court under Roland Freisler’s domination almost always sided with the prosecuting authority, to the point that being brought before it was tantamount to a capital charge. Its separate administrative existence beyond the ordinary judicial system, despite its trappings, rapidly turned it into an executive execution arm and psychological domestic terror weapon of Nazi Germany’s totalitarian regime, in the tradition of a revolutionary tribunal rather than a court of law.

Judge Tanya Chutkan likewise heads a political revolutionary tribunal rather than a court of law.
