Re: Proud Boys
Could have been posted in the Assault on the Capitol topic.
“Capitol riot: Proud Boy pleads guilty and agrees to cooperate with authorities”:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59775546
“An admitted member of the far-right Proud Boys group has pleaded guilty to felony charges over his involvement in the 6 January Capitol Hill riot.
Matthew Greene, 34, has also agreed to cooperate with the government. He is believed to be the first member of the group to do so.
Prosecutors say Mr Greene was in the "first wave" of rioters to cross police lines, though Mr Greene's lawyer claims he did not enter the Capitol building.
He now faces up to 51 months in prison.
While his charges - one count of obstruction of an official proceeding and one count of conspiracy to obstruct - carry a total potential penalty of up to 25 years in prison plus fine, Mr Greene will receive a shorter sentence as a part of his plea deal.
Additionally, Mr Greene has agreed to pay $2,000 (£1,400) in restitution for damages caused to the Capitol building during the riot.”

It would seem the Pouty Babies are tough right up until someone stands up to them and their line of BS.

I suppose it's been awhile since he's had access to a zipper, perhaps he forgot how to work one?
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio leaves jail today wearing a Malcolm X shirt with his fly down after completing his sentence.

Re: Proud Boys
Based Stickman was released yesterday. Cost someone (his wife?) $10k (on $100k bail). This is his charge. Trust me on the release stuff.

https://www.rawstory.com/proud-boys-2656529151/Proud Boys leader claims he would have stopped Jan. 6 violence if he hadn't already been arrested
The leader of the Proud Boys militia group claims he would have stopped the violence during the Capitol insurrection if he hadn't been arrested two days before for burning a Black Lives Matter banner stolen from a historic Black church.
If only the leader of the Proud Boys hadn't been arrested, we could have avoided the whole Jan. 6th mess!
Well, that I can agree with.He also referred to the Proud Boys as "a bunch of drunks" and "not the most intelligent people in the world," but said he has no plans to leave the group.

It concerns me that emptywheel is concerned.

Re: Proud Boys
Calling from jail today, Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola, charged with conspiracy to coordinate the J6 attack on the Capitol: “I didn’t even know I was going to the Capitol .. we just kind of followed the crowd.” When arrested he had a thumb drive with bomb-making instructions.

Well yeah, the FBI just "accidentally" identified him as a conspirator, even though he didn't know he was going to the Capitol. Happens all the time.Kendra wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 1:53 pm

What I like about Pezzola is how his interest in hygiene grew after he went to jail. He’s almost cleaned up now.

Re: Proud Boys
NEW: In late-night order, Judge Kelly orders Proud Boys leader Enrique TARRIO to remain detained pending trial.
Kelly cites Tarrio’s “deep and forward-looking commitment” to the causes that animated Jan. 6 and a “willingness to resort to similar violent tactics.”

Proud Boy is denied entry at the Trump rally after being told nothing with PB or QAnon symbols will be allowed in: “You’re kidding me right? The Trump campaign gave us VIP tickets! This is really happening? Can I ask why Proud Boys aren’t allowed?”

Re: Proud Boys
No-one gets given VIP Tickets by the Trump campaign. Either they got standard tickets via an Email saying "Trump wanted us to invite YOU personally to his rally in..." or they have spent $200,000 at Marry Lardo.
