Capitol Rioters Now Want Compensation

Capitol Rioters Now Want Compensation
September 1, 2025 at 11:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “In the past several weeks, the rioters and their lawyers have pushed the Trump administration to pay them restitution for what they believe were unfair prosecutions.”

“On Thursday, one of the lawyers, Mark McCloskey, said during a public meeting on social media that he had recently met with top officials at the Justice Department and pitched them on a plan to create a special panel that would dole out financial damages to the rioters — much like the arrangement of a special master to award money to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.”

Government pay us restitution for unfairness. Top officials at the Justice department. Dole out money for us cause we ain’t as badass as we think. We are conservatives and have no desire to take responsibility for any actions. Just like our conman. We whine whether the cameras are rolling or not and we are proud of out values.

And they're probably right. They saw that the family of what's-her-name (the one that got shot) got $5 million, and they want some of that government money, too.

all the medical treatment for the officers that were injured and restitution to the families of the officers that died.

If there’s anything left after that……….no. Still hell no.
