January 27, 2023
Press Release
Today the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced the sentencing for the people involved in the attack against United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. Here is USCP Chief Tom Manger's statement:

"Today our United States Capitol Police family is thinking about our late friend, Officer Brian Sicknick, and his family. In the face of a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, Officer Sicknick and his colleagues heroically defended the Congress and our democratic process. As a member of our First Responders Unit, Officer Sicknick was protecting the West Front of the Capitol Building when he was brutally attacked. He died the very next day. We are grateful for everyone who helped put his attackers behind bars. We will never forget Officer Sicknick's bravery, nor his dedication to our country. Officer Brian Sicknick died an American hero and he will forever be remembered as one." - United States Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger

Brian Sicknick, the slain U.S. Capitol Police officer who was given the rare distinction of lying in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, received a final tribute from lawmakers Wednesday. President Biden and first lady Jill Biden joined Sicknick's family members and colleagues from the Capitol Police in a period of visitation on Tuesday night.

Sicknick, 42, died from injuries he sustained fending off members of the mob that breached the Capitol complex on Jan. 6.

For people like MSG, Sicknick is a traitor for defending the United States capitol building from insurrectionists.

MSG is the byproduct of brain damage and Facebook memes.

He's a typical, low intellect Trump voter.

Wall Street Journal pans Trump Jan. 6 pardons: Law and order?'
thehill.com

... The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal is criticizing President Trump's decision to pardon more than 1,500 his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"This is a rotten message from a President about political violence done on his behalf, and it's a bait and switch," the Journal wrote in an editorial published late Tuesday. "What happened that day is a stain on Mr. Trump's legacy. By setting free the cop beaters, the President adds another." ...

The blanket pardons for the J6 prisoners apparently was one of the most important things that Pres Trump thought he should do as he re-entered the Oval Office, as the blanket pardons were among the very first Executive Orders he signed.

@#10 ... Trump keeps his promises. ...

Actually he doesn't.

He promised to end the Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign Ukraine on day 1.

Did he?

I would never di,imish the heroism and sacrifice of Officer Sicknick; but there was another hero that day. He didn't lose his life but he displayed real couragr when he stood up to Trump and did his Constitutional duty to certify the electiion. Mike pence deserves a medal for doing his duty with sngry crazy mobs, who Trump just pardoned, were toaming througgh the Capital chanting that they wanted to murder Mike Pence. I hope Mike lives until the day Donald Trump either dies or is impeached. I suspect he is too self-efacing to laugh out loud but I'll bet there will be the hint of a smile on his face.

Brian Sicknick died of natural causes from 2 strokes linked to a blood clot. With the Biden mafia haaving to accept these facts from the coroner, they doubled down and claimed he "died in the line of duty" - another lie.

You clowns only back the blue when they kill people you don't agree with. It's a sickness, get help.

I just found out it wasn't he is also pardoning terrorists. An abortion clinic terrorist I have the displeasure of knowing was pardoned in the new list.

Sorry but how often do healthy people with no history of heart or other issues randomly get blood clots? He was assaulted with bear spray and yes physically as well but not "hurt". You are not going to convince a reasonable and reasoning person the events earlier in the day didn't lead to his death.

That said, the cause of death was "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis". A thrombosis occurs when there is an injury to a blood vessel. Gee, I wonder how that could have happened?

You know Brian Sicknick's medical history? From who? The same clowns who told you he died in the line of duty? You know better than the coroner? Did you get your pDh from the same --------- stall as SaltyDog(TM)?

No apologies to any of you, ---- you and the horse you rode in on, and the dogs that followed. You chased the fools gold and want to control the narrative your dementia-ridden ex-president peddled to you.. Grow TF up.
