Proud Boys Leader Sentenced to Five Months in Prison for Minor Crimes
2021-08-25
[PJMedia] Never mind that antifa and BLM burned our cities with impunity for over a year. If you lean right you will pay the price.

Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, a right-leaning group of "Western chauvinist" men who support Trump and drink a lot of booze, was arrested on January 4 for burning a BLM flag purloined from Asbury United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C., in December of 2020. At the time of his arrest, he was found with two semi-automatic magazines with the "Proud Boys" logo on them, which he claimed he was selling. The magazines were unloaded and Tarrio was unarmed.

Superior Court Judge Harold Cushenberry came down hard on Tarrio and sentenced him to roughly five months in prison, two months longer than prosecutors had asked for.

"Mr. Tarrio has clearly — intentionally and proudly — crossed the line from peaceful protest and assembly to dangerous and potentially violent mostly peaceful criminal conduct," the judge said.

Tarrio told the court he was "profusely" sorry for his actions, referring to them as a "grave mistake."

"What I did was wrong," Tarrio said during the videoconference hearing.

Fact-O-Rama! Though leftists consider the Proud Boys to be a group of "white supremacists," Tarrio, their leader, is of Afro-Cuban descent.

After his January 4 arrest, Tarrio was ordered to stay away from Washington. Law enforcement later said Tarrio was picked up in part to help quell potential violence.
