#1 I'm sure they will all get a fair trial.

#2 Police arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner

"Vandalizing a banner"?!
WTF?

#3 Didn't the Norks essentially murder Otto Warmbier for messing with a poster of the Dear Leader?

#4 So you can burn buildings down, throw molotov cocktails and such, and that's fine and dandy. But put a little scare in these son of bitches and they throw the book at you. I wish they would have strung every goddamn politician in Washington D.C up by the neck on TV.

#5 Well, Chris, it's still early days. Stay tuned.

#7 Well, it will start with a whimper and end with a bang. So don't blink.

#8 I fail to see sedition in trying to get Congress to refuse to certify the election. Now, if it was an armed assault that would be different, but the whole January 6 thing was just an attempt to be heard- a petition of the government with grievances (though in violation of some government rules against petitioning them.) The worst crimes would be some vandalism and a couple of assault cases.

#9 Congress loves lobbyists when they bring bags of money. This is about discouraging those who come empty handed.

#10 Glenmore, more shit went on there than you think. But yeah. Like Chris said, should have hung them all.

#11 #2 That's correct. Burn American flag = free speech. Burn BLM flag = sedition!. Part of Enrique's punishment was that he was not allowed back in DC. He was at home in WA state on Jan 6.

#12 ^ Good point. I hope his lawyers are working that angle.

#13 Around the same time, an unnamed person sent Tarrio a document that laid out plans for occupying a few "crucial buildings" in Washington on Jan. 6, including House and Senate office buildings around the Capitol, the indictment says.

So he's being charged because someone (unnamed: FBI plant?) sent him a document?

#14 Yes. Anyone could send you an email with such stuff. Or kiddie pr0n. Or whatever...

#15 In an adult world, "we got a tip someone sent you this" would get everyone involved fired and permanently banned from LE or gummint employment.

Russiagate was based on junk mail from a Russian bank.

#17 #11 #2 Yes indeed. A false flag operation was needed by the left to try to get rid of Trump and his followers and to cover up a rigged election by the Deep State--hence Jan 6. Can't have anyone upsetting their lucrative apple cart. The tanking economy is punishment for Americans supporting Trump. It hard to believe this is accidental because no one could be this incompetent about the running the economy. If you substitute "ruining the economy," then it becomes very clear and they are very competent in ruining the economy.

#18 Wasn't Tarrio considered an FBI asset? Even bragged about it.

#19 /\ Guardian - Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was an FBI informant

Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters.

In the Miami hearing, a federal prosecutor, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and Tarrio’s own lawyer described his undercover work and said he had helped authorities prosecute more than a dozen people in various cases involving drugs, gambling and human smuggling.

Tarrio, in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, denied working undercover or cooperating in cases against others. “I don’t know any of this,’” he said, when asked about the transcript. “I don’t recall any of this.”

#20 Tarrio I don't think said anything and the accusation came from right field IIRC when he was detained at the airport?

Of course Proud Boys was the media punching bag for over a year then, and IIRC media tried to tie them to the *cough* Witchmore Kidnapping Plot.

#22 My understanding is that Tarrio was willing to cooperate with FBI but eventually found their focus on White supremacism a bunch of BS and broke off all contact. Since then the Fed has been harassing him and Biden has made it his personal mission to destroy the organization as his own "denazification" program. I believe they intend to broadcast specifically the trial of those PBs now in custody as a shot trial that will be presented as an indictment of an entire demographic in this country.
