Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio sentenced to 22 years in prison for January 6

Those libural judges are so soft on crime. The founders would have strung him up a day after the insurrection.

 

Right, cause they had partners in crime. lol

DOJ Press Release:

'Jury Convicts Four Leaders of the Proud Boys of Seditious Conspiracy Related to U.S. Capitol Breach'

 

What's your point?

 

If Enrique Tarrio was brown and Muslim , and G.W Bush was POTUS, Enrique Tarrio would have been locked up in Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp and waterboard every other day.

So you want to talk about “totalitarianism”? Give me a break!

 

I doubt they would have waterboarded someone who confessed to his crimes.

These guys may be your heroes, but they are not the victims here.

Every heard the saying "Don't commit the crime if you can't do the time".

These guys had their minds swept away by political extremism, and they took violent action against their country. What kind of people have such blind loyalty for a political figure that they'd do something like that?

 

I agree, I keep referring to George Washington farewell address as the example of stepping down from power.

 

Ok waterboarding may have been off the table , but he would have been locked up in Guantanamo Bay and W Bush would come out and say “ these people are illegal enemy combatant and terrorist, they are danger to society”. All the MAGA who now scream “totalitarian , totalitarian”, they would raise their hand and say “ Thank God for Bush, he is keeping us safe”.

 

You obviously don't know the legal definition of "sedation" no less 'seditious conspiracy".

 

You obviously don't know the legal definition of "conspiracy".

 

Sure thing sweetie.
Feel better now?

 

Well, yes, something like that.

 

If he was any color other than white he’d have been executed already and Fox News would have no less than 5 articles on how non-whites are anti-American.

 

LoL... the dude is BLACK. He is not white. He was not at the riot. There is no evidence he told his followers to storm the Capitol. Given that you were unaware of this basic fact, are you aware of ANY evidence at all that he did anything at all? If so, it would be nice if you posted it.... nobody else (including the MSM) has posted a single shred of evidence.

He is wrongfully imprisoned BLACK man, perhaps you should give a damn.

 

Of course...lol

 

More over sentencing by the fascist left.

 

Oh FFS man !!!

He was sentenced IN A COURT OF LAW, so they’re was evidence that. You act as though he never had a rigth to defend himself. The government has PROOF that he did these things, and the courts agree that the evidence is correct.

The right in this country is so anti american right now its stunning.

 

Show your proof that he was not guilty….I eagerly await your proof…..

Just show us…..

 

What is the evidence and why haven't you or any other progressive presented a single shred of it here? Better yet, why hasn't the MSM provided it? Quit telling me about how there is evidence and simply show it.

Is it American to throw a BLACK man in prison who was not even present at the event?

 

He didn't say he wasn't guilty.

 

it would be nice if the Talibiden administration was as zealous about giving prison sentences to those whose freedom creates a clear and present danger upon American society-such as armed robbers, murderers and rapists. I guess when the GOP gets control, it needs to do the same thing to the Democrats?

 

Um... They did the insurrection of all insurrections. They were considered traitors to the crown.

 

Post 77,
DOJ link to Terrio & Co. indictment
DOJ link Terrio & Co.found guilty of seditious conspiracy etc.

Snip from indictment

' According to court documents, the Proud Boys describes itself as a “pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world, aka Western Chauvinists.” Through at least Jan. 6, 2021, Tarrio was the national chairman of the organization. In mid-December, Tarrio created a special chapter of the Proud Boys known as the “Ministry of Self Defense.”

As alleged in the indictment, from in or around December 2020, Tarrio and his co-defendants, all of whom were leaders or members of the Ministry of Self Defense, conspired to corruptly obstruct, influence, and impede an official proceeding, the certification of the Electoral College vote. On Jan. 6, the defendants directed, mobilized, and led members of the crowd onto the Capitol grounds and into the Capitol, leading to dismantling of metal barricades, destruction of property, and assaults on law enforcement.

Although Tarrio is not accused of physically taking part in the breach of the Capitol, the indictment alleges that he led the advance planning and remained in contact with other members of the Proud Boys during their breach of the Capitol. Tarrio was arrested on Jan. 4, 2021, on a warrant charging him in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia with destruction of property in the Dec. 12, 2020, burning of a Black Lives Matter banner. He was released at approximately 5 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021. As a condition of his release, he was ordered by the Court to stay out of Washington.

The indictment alleges that Tarrio nonetheless continued to direct and encourage the Proud Boys prior to and during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and that he claimed credit for what had happened on social media and in an encrypted chat room during and after the attack.'

 

I made a specific claim right there and as usual you are being emotional and saw what you wanted to see. Re-read my response, take a breath, then try again.

 

Exactly lmao.

 

I’m not the following the logic of your post. I mean when I, as a Trump supporter, condemn the Jan 6th assaults on our nation’s Capital and see it as an unjust attack that absolutely no good would come from…. How does my acknowledgment of that fact wildly downplay it?
