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

HeadlineAug 29, 2025

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.
