Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years, longest Jan. 6 sentence yet

F this clown, he is a disgrace. Good riddance & not long enough.

Not his first stint in prison, but due to his age (39) likely to be his last.

Weird life choices Enrique. Becoming the ethnic frontmam for violent white nationalists was always PEAK "leopard-eating-your-own-face party" move. Dude earned himself a hilarious little spot in fuck around and find out history.

What race does a dark skinned white supremacist associate with in jail? I see some decent beatings coming his way if he makes to to general population.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON — Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the far-right Proud Boys, was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison Tuesday afternoon following his conviction on a seditious conspiracy charge in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

His sentence is the longest so far in a Jan. 6 case so far, surpassing the 18 years given to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was also convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors called Tarrio a "naturally charismatic leader, a savvy propagandist, and the celebrity Chairman of the national Proud Boys organization."

Tarrio, they said, had "influence over countless subordinate members" that he used "to organize and execute the conspiracy to forcibly stop the peaceful democratic transfer of power."

“There was a very real possibility that we were going to wake up on January 7 in a full-blown constitutional crisis with the federal government in complete chaos,” Mulroe said.

Before his sentencing, Tarrio delivered a contrite statement, apologizing to members of law enforcement, the citizens of Washington, D.C., lawmakers and his family.
