Trump grants clemency to Jan. 6 rioters in South Carolina


President Donald Trump’s recent pardons for nearly all rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, has resulted in the automatic clearing of cases for around three dozen South Carolinians. Among those pardoned are individuals with ties to the state, including a tea house operator, a Citadel cadet, a woman who sold exotic cats, a family from Fort Mill, and a Bluffton man accused of performing a Nazi salute during the attack. Chris Rockey, a former Marine from Berkeley County, was set to begin serving an 18-month sentence in Florida but has now had his process halted due to the pardon.

Rockey expressed disbelief at the news and shared that he feels like his life has changed forever. His attorney, Brady Vannoy, is confident that Rockey will soon receive the paperwork affirming his pardon. Another individual, Tyler Bradley Dykes from Bluffton, who gave a Nazi salute at the Capitol, has also been released from prison following the pardon. Dykes was sentenced to 57 months in prison and ordered to pay fines and restitution.

The pardons have sparked debate over accountability for the actions of those involved in the Capitol riot. While some argue that individuals must be held responsible for their actions, others believe that the pardons undermine the justice system’s principles. The implications of these pardons and the release of convicted rioters have raised concerns and will likely continue to be a topic of discussion.
