I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I do look at as many angles as I can think of. This seems like a perfect opportunity to settle out of court and thus funnel millions of tax dollars to a militia that will serve trump to the end.

I'm 100% convinced these Nazi militias make up the majority of the "ICE agents" we're seeing. That's why they don't identify themselves. These fuckers deserve anything they get.
Which is hopefully handfuls of lead.
Be sure to adjust your sights at a range before sending lead, practice practice practice
Tell that to Tommy Crooks ;)

This isn’t a theory, white protecting white is baked into the founding documents of this country. Of course it’s a scam to funnel money, that’s all they do
Labelling this conspiracy means you haven't been paying attention. This is exactly what they've been using lawsuits and settlements for over the last 18 months. That and the crypto bullshit to funnel bribes.
"US government settles for $200m" -- news tomorrow, probably
Aren't they working for ICE now? I'm so confused
Trump will make the government pay it and they'll still have their ICE jobs

Fucking Jesus Christ 🤦♂️ they'll probably get it too
Settlement for $500million and a sincere presidential appo....$500million, coming right up!
Don’t they understand because they were PARDONED it means that they were GUILTY?
Not saying someone should dox and swat the proud boys, but they do need a huge order of pizzas delivered.
Why would the local police swat themselves?
Fucking traitors. And it’s up to us to impose justice on them.
Do it.
I know I'm commenting from different country, but the following quote by a judge in Australia is always worth keeping in the back of your head if you manage to get let off a serious crime...
Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat
That was a line said by a judge in Australia during his conclusion of a very high profile rape case.
The story,
Bruce Lehrmann faced charges of rape. This case was very big in Australia because the rape occurred in an office at Parliament House and the government covered it up because there was an election coming up.
The criminal trial was abandoned because the case was having a very detrimental effect on the victim's mental health.
Later, Bruce Lehrmann sued a number of journalists for defamation... And lost... So now Bruce Lehrmann is forever branded a rapist. The judge delivered the above quote during his final decision.
While I love that scenario, I think the likelier outcome in this case is that a lot of taxpayer money goes straight towards energising brownshirts.
This administration full of dumb assholes will probably pay them too.
They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.
So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a "legal" way for the government to fund them.
You tax dollars at work, funding felons.
I’m not for capital punishment, but they should have just killed these guys.
You remove them by putting them in jail. Allowing capital punishment for anyone inevitably allows it for innocents. It is a weapon of the state, and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The problem wasn't the incarceration of Proud Boys, it was the lack of incarceration for the fascists who enabled them.
And also said fascists just letting all of those criminals out of jail early
That would make them a martyr and just cause more turds to float to the surface so we can fill even more ditches. Sounds like a good plan.
Yeah, let's just keep taking the moral high road. Eventually shitty people will just stop existing. There's no reason to actively work on removing them. 🥴
Shit will keep flowing into a sewage treatment plant if you don't treat the sewage. In the end you just end up with a mountain of shit to deal with and the problem is much more difficult to manage.

Make America flush turds again
Can we send them to El Salvador when they come to court like we are doing with other poor people?
can we counter sue them?
I just checked with my attorneys, Smith & Wesson Esq., and they say yes.

Make M'Uricah great again?
Don’t you have to admit guilt to receive a pardon?
That's been the general understanding but may not be true. Up until 2016, America has relied on the government respecting the conventional way a lot of things are done. But there have been the occasional deviation.
It was controversial when Ford pardoned Nixon for not specifying what he was being pardoned for.
Last year Biden pardoned his son to protect him from possible persecution by a future government, also controversial.
Who knows, maybe Trump will shit out a tweet tomorrow declaring these idiots are completely innocent of any crime. Any challenge to that would need to be heard by the Supreme Court. Would the current Supreme Court intervene, I doubt it.
Your simple, one sentence question had given me way too much to think about.
Fuck. That.
Traitor$, from the top down.
I like to think I'm not a violent man but
Man, they could’ve just taken the already corrupt pardon but, no, let’s keep fucking around to find out.
Just leave off the "find out" part, since anyone with Trump loyalty is untouchable. I think Trump would love to give the proud bitches a bunch of money
Wait, what?
