Proud Boys leader convicted of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy
Prosecutors argued Enrique Tarrio directed his troops remotely.
....

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Three of the far-right group’s lieutenants also were found guilty of conspiring to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election and prevent Joe Biden from becoming president of the United States.

...
Membership in the Proud Boys surged after then-President Donald Trump told the group to "stand back and stand by" during a 2020 presidential debate. Tarrio's attorneys blamed Trump for encouraging and revving up the crowd that ultimately broke into the Capitol.

Well there goes another bunch of knuckleheads going to jail, a reminder to all the MAGAs that dismissed one of the worst atrocities in the USA. I loved how the defense even blamed Trump.i hope these insurrectionists get the full 20 yrs, they deserve it.

 

They need to get the true ring leader who incited the mob with his lies and spent two months trying to threaten, bribe and suborn election officials to overturn the election before resorting to the Capitol insurrection attempt by his mindlessly devoted supporters.
The majority of the rioters at the Capitol that day were just useful idiots but the minority that goaded them and tried to cancel the election are seditious traitors like trump.

 

Every time I read these articles I think back to Trump and all that he did to try and steal that election, including overturn the government. In any other Western country he would be in jail for sure.

 

They certainly fell for the conspiracy hook, line and sinker. Not sure if they will be able to prosecute Trump directly, maybe if the Secret Service didn't erase their texts from 1/6 we would have the necessary evidence, but that is moot now.

 

Even worse, all the House members willing to throw away this nation for their own power. To boot, some still think the election was stolen.

 

These neo-fascist extremists were hellbent upon overthrowing the results of a free and fair democratic election in accordance with the pipe dream of a Cry Baby Loser who incited his goons and pleasured himself for four hours watching them savage outnumbered police.

Before justice is served and their sentences begin, the Loser can lead them in song, and offer the rousing recording to anyone who shoots 11,780 Budweiser beer cans.

"Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and'a the law won
I fought the law and'a the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and'a the law won!
I fought the law and'a the law won!"

​

 

They don't even want to accept that Trump has discarded them too.

 

Good! For the horrible crime of "protesting while republican" I hope they throw the book at him!

 

Look on the bright side, they can up "Proud Buoy" recruitment while in the big house....

 

Trump had boasted that he commanded their blind, unshakable, faith, and they have proved him to be correct in that, at least.

 

Crickets from those who support the man who incited the seditious conspiracy.

They said it was a nothingburger. But it wasn’t. It was an attack on American democracy. And they supported it. They still do.

 

20 years for protesting... This is how liberty dies

 

Thankfully Trump's day of reckoning is nigh !!!!

 

Keep denying one of the worst days in the US, it will be that much sweeter when the rest go down. I told every MAGA even when they took Putin's word over IS Intelligence services, I wouldn't forget. What else amuses me, the BLM push, at least they had facts on their side, yet Trump called them unpatriotic.

Trump will go down worse than Benedict Arnold, and the whole movement that subscribed to his stupidity.

 

You think a mild protest was worse than the civil war? Murdering one veteran is worse than 600,000.

Good lord you people couldn't be more out of touch if you lived on Saturn.

I don't buy this stupid lizard people conspiracy crap. I don't believe you do either.

 

I don't think they will get the full 20 years, but they should get at least 5 years or longer, and be sent to either medium or maximum federal penitentiary for their time.

 

Haha the conspiracy theories you Dems come up with. None of that happened. There was no insurrection attempt, and it certainly wasn’t called by Trump lmao.

But Trump has shown democrats true authoritarian colors.

 

What I love is that as events prove the “never trumpers” right, the failing trumpers are less and less visible. They can’t bear to be straight and “noble” enough to admit their errors, so they just don’t show up when a thread like this is created. But that says a lot just the same.

 

No, 20 years for treason. That’s how liberty thrives.
Too bad you people gave your allegiance to a seditious demagogue and now have to turn backward somersaults to save face.

 

Don’t forget Rupert Murdoch’s part in this. They lost the Dominion lawsuit because there was a clear causal link between Faux news lies and effect on the people listening.

 

What has got me is how many many of the MAGA group participated in the trans threads claiming that it was about “protecting” women from being groped in bathrooms and when you point out Trump is current facing a civil trial on this very issue all I saw was backsides disappearing over the horizon

 

Protesting isn't treason. So this is a miscarriage of Justice.

 

Beating up cops and use their equipment to break in, isn't protesting. It's the stuff you get shot at by an entire police force, when you're black.

 

hang on... hang on. That is potentially being groped at in the bathroom.
A right wing extremists treats the LGBTQ+ group as sex offenders without a trial, but that aint right.
But I guess the far right are choosing their battles on this one.

 

So when are the feds going to show up and take their firearms away, Wako style with tank and everything?
Surely a convicted felon may not have them, and I smell the probable cause that they do got 'm.
