Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was sentenced yesterday to 22 years in prison!!! for the central role he played in organizing a gang of his pro-Trump followers to attack the Capitol on 1/6, and stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power.
What about the guy who told him to “stand back and standby”??!!!?
Can’t wait for his day of judgement!!!!!!!!!
The penalty imposed on Tarrio at a three-hour hearing in Federal District Court in Washington was the final sentence to be lodged against the five members of the Proud Boys who were tried on seditious conspiracy charges earlier this year.
In a series of separate prosecutions – of which Tarrio’s sedition trial was by far the most important – the Justice Department all but decapitated [one hopes!] the group’s national leadership and mostly put an end to its involvement in large-scale and often violent pro-Trump rallies in cities across the country.
I’m ALWAYS amazed when I see these rough-edged thugs like Tarrio so attracted and committed to slick dandies like Trump and especially the likes of a Roger Stone. The contradictions in their appearance and lifestyle speaks loudly to the duplicity and deception they use to achieve their goals.
Still NOT enough cowbells for the old Lobsterman!
