Proud Boys leader who burned BLM flag gets 5 months in jail

FILE - In this Sept. 26, 2020, file photo, Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio wears a hat that says The War Boys during a rally in Portland, Ore. Tarrio, has been sentenced to five months in jail. Tarrio was convicted of burning a Black Lives Matter banner that was torn down from a historic Black church in downtown Washington and for bringing two high-capacity firearm magazines into the nation’s capital two days before the Jan. 6 riot.

Enrique Tarrio told the court he was “profusely” sorry for his actions, calling them a “grave mistake.”Tarrio was arrested as he arrived in Washington two days before thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump — including members of the Proud Boys — descended on the U.S. Capitol and disrupted the certification of the Electoral College vote. Tarrio was ordered to stay away from Washington, and law enforcement later said Tarrio was picked up in part to help quell potential violence.

When police pulled Tarrio over on Jan. 4 on the warrant for vandalizing the sign, officers found two unloaded magazines emblazoned with the Proud Boys logo in his bag. Tarrio said, according to a police report, that he sells the clips and the ones he was carrying were purchased by a customer. Proud Boys members describe themselves as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.” Its members frequently have engaged in street fights with antifascist activists at rallies and protests.

The US justice system is a JOKE. All BLM flags should be burnt. They burned enough US flags for goodness sake.

...yet BLM and Antifa can destroy cities and burn the American flag in 'Peaceful Protests'? haha Welcome to Clownworld/2021 everyone. 🤡

That's nothing! No wonder everyone is so entitled anymore. There are no consequences!

Not nearly long enough sentence. He'll be back at it as soon as he can.

Americans fighting Americans, the ultimate plan, constructed by [……] let that sink in the next time you watch fox, cnn, or even msnbc

Terrorist group*

Deportations for all rioters from another country

not enough

-'Authorities say Proud Boys members stole the banner from the Asbury United Methodist Church and then set it ablaze using lighter fluid .' -'Tarrio pleaded guilty last month to destruction of property and attempted possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device.'

Months? Wow….

Plz Join my grassroots movement to rebrand the “proud “boys”” as “small d*cked insecure babies.” You just know real MEN stole ALL their girlfriends and showed them what’s up. 🍆 🍆 🍆 . Look no further than the heifers at their circle jerks. They’re super sad. 😂 😂 😂

Should have been a whole lot more than just five months.

Apologies are a dime a dozen these days and Tarrio knows it. He'll be out in two months and back at it again. NoMercyForTraitors

Not enough

Tarrio thought he could shed some crocodile tears for the judge and get probation. My guess is he is too cute. He can't last 6 months in jail. He will seek out prosecutors to give evidence he knows they need...

'What I did was wrong' is what you say when you get caught littering. Not when you've led an extremist group 😂

Only 5 months for terrorizing people? No wonder they never stop terrorizing?

Il tiro alla fune è finito con una grigliata? In giro per il mondo con gli F16 a esportare democrazia. Che paese allucinante.

Pretty harsh for a tourist.

5 MONTHS WHAT KIND OF BS IS THAT

That should be a lesson to all the other PB’s and white supremacy groups out there.

Justice served. A rather light sentence?🤔🤔

Should have gotten more time.

Point of clarification for those trying to ignore context and to compare this to burning an American flag. You can burn your own flag. You can't take someone else's property and burn it. You should have learned this distinction in 1st grade.

Wasn’t he a known rat probably gave up the rest of them hence the light sentence

A whole 5 months..wow

NotAlexis

So BLM burns cities and nothing and a man with ammo in his car goes to jail? He burns a Fringe Marxist group's flag? That is a crime? This is America?

Is that all ?Talk about privileged sickening.

Where can I find a BLM banner to burn? They're afraid to walk down my street.

It must be the max sentence for him being a federal confidential informant 🧀 🐀

5 months 2 years seems more appropriate...unless he flipped and cooperated

REMINDER: doesn't matter what they're burning, what matters is whose property it is.
