U.S. Air Force to Offer Full Military Honors to January 6 Rioter
----------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Air Force is offering full military honors to Ashli Babbitt,
the January 6 rioter who was shot by officers as she stormed the U.S.
Capitol four years ago to protest President Trump's defeat in the 2020
election. This comes as a federal judge offered a refund to another
January 6 rioter, Yvonne St Cyr, who was ordered to pay $2,200 in
restitution and fines. She had her felony conviction dropped by Trump in
a blanket pardon of January 6 rioters.
