  You’re celebrating this?:

  “Matthew Valentin committed two other acts of violence—spraying a chemical irritant towards officers and trying to wrestle a baton from another officer. Andrew Valentin threw a chair at officers, striking one,” the memo said.

  The brothers did not have criminal histories, sentencing memos from their lawyers note.

  “I am disappointed in myself when I think about how the law enforcement agents must have felt on that day and every day since,” Andrew Valentin wrote to Walton in a letter apologizing for his actions. “My intentions were never to hurt anyone and I cannot believe that I behaved in such a manner.”

    I don’t support the pardoning of the violent ones nor Enrique Tarrio (who I believe was a fed who organized some of the illegal acts done at the Capitol)
