Yes, one woman was shot trying to enter the house chamber, a police officer collapsed after being sprayed with pepper spray multiple times and died from a stroke the next day, a woman was crushed to death in the mob, and two others died from a stroke and a heart attack while in the mob. Two other police officers commit suicide in the days afterward if you want to count them. Yes, the strokes and heart attacks aren’t direct injuries from the attack, but the stress that lead to these medical conditions and the time it took for those within the riot to receive medical care certainly contributed.

They shouldn’t be pardoned by any president regardless of their party affiliation.

Would you pardon the person who breaks into your home, threatens physical violence up to and including a lynching on your front yard?

Trump doesn’t give two shits about these people he is simply, as always pandering to his base and guess where those folks reside…

No, their charges and sentences are already too lenient.

No, absolutely not. They were akin to domestic terrorists and deserve harsher sentences/charges than what was given.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

The officer was listed as natural causes unrelated to the riot. Two others are also natural causes. The shooting was not done by the rioters.
Now do the summer of 2020 and the number of deaths directly cause by rioters.

I never said that the rioters were the ones who shot her. I said five people died. The natural causes were likely escalated by the riots. If that’s what matters to you, very few of the deaths during the 2020 protests were caused by rioters. Most were shot by police or shop owners. I do not agree with violence period, but there’s also something different between people in the streets who are outraged by racism and lack of social justice and an insurgency against a government building, taking people hostage, because they thought they could force them to keep trump in office.
