One of the J6 “insurrectionists” – as those who walked unarmed into the capitol building back in 2021 and mostly just walked around were styled – was recently killed for speeding.
Matthew Huttle – who was among those pardoned for their “insurrectionary” actions by President Trump shortly after his inauguration – was pulled over on Jan. 26 by an armed government worker for “speeding,” an offense much like “insurrection” in that both amount to the “crime” of affronting the authority of the government.
Huttle had – apparently – committed several other such “crimes” and was thus guilty of being what is styled a Habitual Traffic Violator under Indiana law, which somehow transforms what are ordinarily misdemeanor traffic citations for which the “offender” is issued an extortion note – styled a “ticket” – into a felony that requires the arrest of the “suspect” and his immediate incarceration.
As Huttle had just spent considerable time behind bars he decided he was not going back behind bars when the armed government worker informed him that he would be going back to a cell much like the one he was only recently released from.
“So today, you were getting off with a verbal warning for the speed, however you’re a Habitual Traffic Violator,” says the AGW, “which means that you are at a felony status for driving while suspended so today you are going to come with me.”
Huttle says “I can’t go to jail for this, sir.”
It is not unlikely Huttle was in poor shape psychologically after being caged for six months after having been convicted as an “insurrectionist.” He’d also been caged prior to his conviction on the charges he was eventually convicted of.
The AGW seemed to be sympathetic but was required to be inflexible – because the law is the law and it says that law enforcers have no discretion when it comes to “felons.” 
Even when all they are is “speeders.”
“There’s no there’s no leeway with felonies in the state of Indiana,” he informs Huttle. “Now maybe if it was a misdemeanor offense I could work something out with you, but it’s not a misdemeanor, it’s a felony offense. Okay? So that’s why I can’t work with you today.”
What ends up happening – which you can see for yourself – is that Huttle runs back to his vehicle, not to take off but to check out.
“I’m shooting myself,” he says. The enforcer ends up shooting Huttle multiple times. Huttle is now dead. And the shooting “justified” insofar as the law is concerned.
“Based on the evidence, prosecutors say the deputy was legally justified in using deadly force to defend himself because Huttle posed as an imminent threat to their safety,” reported WNDU.com.”
But did he, really?
It looked like he was just trying to get away. How is an “officer’s safety” placed in jeopardy by that?
It is certainly a fact that if it had not been for the “speeding” – more finely, for the pulling over of Huttle for “speeding” – none of this would have happened. There are of course Stalin’s Chicken types who will say that it is all Huttle’s fault for “speeding” and it was he who initiated the chain of events leading to his death, by “speeding.” These are the same kinds of people who also said, if only Stalin knew! – as regards what was being done not just in Stalin’s name but also on his orders.
Imagine if no one were subject to a “pulling over” for confected “offenses” such as “speeding,” which is nothing more than driving faster than the government says one may. It is premised on the absurd assertion that “speeding” is “unsafe.” This is absurd – because the enforcers of the speed limit “speed” to catch the “speeders.” If it is “unsafe” to “speed” then how does more “speeding” make things “safer”?
Absurd – because the speed limit is arbitrary. Anything that is arbitrary is – ipso facto – absurd, because there is no reason for it, other than just because. One day, the speed limit is 70 MPH. The next 55. What was legal – and presumably “safe” – one day becomes illegal (and “unsafe”) “speeding” the next.
Arbitrary. Absurd.
Most people understand this even if they don’t in that most people do not feel moral guilt when they are caught “speeding.” In fact, they usually feel anger – at having been “pulled over” to be issued an extortion note (the “ticket”) by a speed limit enforcer. They know they didn’t do anything wrong. Only that they got caught doing something illegal.
And they resent it.
Huttle seems to have been (past tense) one of them. He didn’t feel guilty – and he just wanted to get away. When he realized he couldn’t, he ended up getting killed – in the name of “officer safety.”
It’d have been safer for all concerned if there weren’t “offenses” such as “speeding,” to say nothing of “felonies” contrived by compounding such “offenses.”

J6 was a fake event. As with all fake events, it becomes necessary to retire the “actors” involved through fake deaths, fake shootings, fake accidents etc. They usually get a new identity and are relocated under the Witness Protection Program. If you are one of these actors and just got your “paycheck,” you obviously don’t want to draw too much attention to your new Ferrari or McMansion.
“One day, the speed limit is 70 MPH. The next 55.”
This is more true than you know. Indiana, or perhaps it was the city of Indianapolis, just announced that 465, our loop around the city, will soon have variable speed “based on conditions.” I don’t know what said conditions are, but I assume it’s heavy traffic. Some office drone will look at the webcams and decide “lots of cars, better slow ’em down to 50.”
But people on 465 rarely obey the speed limit, which is 55 mph (I think), about as slow as it can be and still be called an interstate/highway/freeway or whatever you call a fast, no-less-than-three-lanes road entered via a ramp. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a speed limit sign on 465. Average speed in the left lane is about 80. Go under 60 and you get run over unless you are in a semi or a tri-axle, especially around May when all Hoosiers think they are in the 500. Should be fun.
Don’t you know cops are the only ones who are allowed to wield weapons? Even the slightest indication on your part that you may have the ability to defend yourself is reason enough to put you down like a dog in the street.
Anyone who works for this outfit known as government is a traitor to the human race.
Amen, Philo –
I have this argument all the time with “conservatives.” At one time, there may have been a degree of reasonableness in the argument that cops were generally ok and generally useful. Even necessary. I do not agree with this, but I do agree it was not entirely unreasonable to so assert up to say the 1970s, before the advent of SWAT teams and the Hut! Hut! Hut! But now? We are dealing with people trained to regard us all as “threats” to their “safety.” And themselves as “heroes.” Who consider any failure to do whatever they say as an affront to their authority – as “resisting.” And what sort of jerk is ok with spending his days sitting in a $40,000 Explorer handing out tickets that will cost the recipient hundreds in fines to people who did nothing to cause harm to anyone?
Eric, I’m sure the AGW followed the proper “proceeeeeeeeeeeeedures” and his “Traaaaaaaaaaaining” so all is well?
He escaped to his credit, to the detrimet of the DC gulags reputation. By producing a weapon became a credible threat. Of course we don’t get to see the weapon…

Nooo guys, no doom and gloom.
This could NEVER happen to us! I’m sure its just another big misunderstanding. So what if many of us can no longer afford to drive legally anymore.. priced out of our cars with absurd insurance costs, taxes and fees! They wont pull US over, mug- kidnap or shoot us dead on the spot.. for not complying.
We may be poor but we still have to get to work to survive right?
I mean.. cops aren’t thug criminals preying on the downtrodden public for their gov mafia bosses right?
Lets just keep a positive outlook here folks.
Get “caught” “speeding” too many times and it’s a FELONY? Once again the constitution is abjectly ignored, as in excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments.
It’s past time to impale the f#$kers en masse on a forest of sharpened sticks. F#@k the law and its’ communist enforcers. F#&k the corrupt judges and persecutors.
God’s law says to do unto others what you would have done unto you, and love one another. Stealing money and life because someone drives faster than you think they should is the epitome of evil and hypocrisy.
Something tells me you’re not a thin-blue-line, law-and-order type, Ernie.
Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself.
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reason’s for
And your flag decal wouldn’t get you into heaven anymore – John Prine, Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore
John Prine flunked all four years of high school English classes.
Knew how to write songs that were hits. Everybody sang along, cried some too.
The Madison Avenue drug pushers are hard at these days.
He’s a habitual offender…wasn’t he just released after years? How could you hold that against him if we assume those charges were from before 2020? And its not like there is an exact requirement to catch someone speeding at the max speed seen. Those radar readings are not saved (yet) and automatically applied to a plate or case. The cop could have seen him at on radar at 80mph and said he was seen doing 69 on the paperwork, which is true because he would have passed that speed being pulled over.
The guy seemed nice, and just having gotten out of jail, it is understandable he didn’t have his plates and everything together. I can think of several ways this could have gone differently that don’t involve the guy getting killed but also comply with the law. Maybe it would have involved a no insurance ticket, tow, and a ride home but this was just inflexibility in my opinion.
As far as the shooting itself which should have never happened, it was unfortunately justified. Putting aside all the aforementioned events leading up to the tragedy, you have a man with a gun putting it up to his own head saying he is going to kill himself. That is self murder and it takes less than anyone’s reaction time for the unstable guy to turn that gun to the officer or anyone else. The officer’s reaction at that point was exactly as his training- shoot until the threat is stopped. I guarantee he did not think that one through in the time things happened. This is for any situation with a suicidal subject with a gun. The goal though is to stop the threat, not to kill them. Dan said “Killing someone who is threatening to kill themselves is now….” It was not just the threat, it was the threat, plus the gun in the man’s hand. He had verbalized his intent, and had the means to follow through with great bodily harm to himself or others. Verbalizing these things alone can get you a guaranteed trip in handcuffs to an emergency room with the fire department as well.
Anyway, that’s my input and 2 cents of inside knowledge
Sorry, but why would you shoot yourself rather than taking a chance at shooting your tormentor? I’ve never understood the poor bastards who knelt in a row in front of a ditch and didnt at least try to rush the bad guys who obviously intended to murder them. Kick them in the nuts or spit in their eye, or whatever to fight them to the very end.
Usually it is hopelessness. Fighting back is for people who have something to live for and future plans, because you have a greater than 0% chance of success. This guy just spent years in jail over a misdemeanor, now facing a felony which is automatically 1+ year. He probably thought he was going to die in jail, and rightly so thinking this may be a setup by a corrupt system to get him back behind bars.
Yah, plus he was coming off a funeral. Perhaps, being a slave in a prison is worse than death & he thought that?
The guy had vision, there was No Way Out, he saw a door closing… RE: “why would you shoot yourself rather than taking a chance at shooting your tormentor?
Answer: he didn’t harbor hate towards the other.
I read a famous, ‘er infamous(?) bit written about an escapee clambering up a cliff to escape his would-be captors/death deliverers. He was that man,… until, he wasn’t.
Maybe, guys like Ernie didn’t spend time behind bars & don’t know, the captor vs. Jack Boot? Idk.
[Insert scene from, ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’ …slave getting whipped by the Empire.]
As I watched, I kept thinking of some scene from V-for Vendetta, it was us, all of us, doing not-enough that caused that kids death (he was just a kid)… yet, what the heck could any of us do? We can’t ‘make’ .gov do, ‘the right thing’.
RE: “The guy seemed nice […] As far as the shooting itself which should have never happened, it was unfortunately justified.”
You might just be a monster.
You say, “Putting aside all the aforementioned events leading up to the tragedy”
You can’t do that. The events, count.
You sound like a heartless conditioned robot.
The context is: he was killed, or was going to be caged/degraded/beaten, for “traffic violations”… for jack shit.
Well-said, Helot –
What did the man do? He drove 70 in a 55. Whereis the “crime”? There isn’t one, of course, because there was no victim. Just an affront to the Authority of the state. Very much of a piece with so much else we’re all hassled for by the state, including not buying “coverage” for our cars. It’s a kind of Stockholm Syndrome, isn’t it? So many people identifying with – and apologizing for – their abusers. When instead they ought to be getting mad – doing whatever can be done to oppose and end all of this.
Leave people alone – because they have a right to be left alone unless they have harmed someone.
That should be the whole of the law.
I agree with you both, this should have never ended in a death over speed or an affront to authority. The events do count. I was just separating out a situation with an armed suicidal subject and explaining the training police get to deal with it. There are drills in the academy to be an automatic reaction to this exact scenario. That’s why it went to shooting so quick. It was a robotic reaction in a sense.
A man traumatized by his recent experiences with his rulers decides he’d rather take his chances with the afterlife than to take another second of abuse from them.
Behold the awful price of thinking for yourself!
Purdy trigger happy iffin you axe me.
If you don’t obey my commands, I’ll kill ya.
One state to avoid, Indiana. It’s at a point where I don’t want to drive out of state, it is dangerous.
There are happier trails.
I drove through Indiana-no-place on my way to Chicago once. Drove back through on my way home. Haven’t been back since.
I’m sure that Stalin’s Chickens will bleat about “suicide by cop”. What they seem not to grasp is that mindset says more about the cops than the mental state of those they kill.
Killing someone who is threatening to kill themselves is now “justified” on the basis of the safety of the cop whose life was not threatened – got it.
Maybe this is what they mean by “protect and serve”. They provided a service of killing him so he wouldn’t have to.
If he killed himaelf he’d go to hell, but since they killed him he goes to heaven. That’s the logic The Pope runs the US still. That’s why immigration still exists.
I guess that is a death sentence if you commit too many traffic violations in Indiana.
