Proud Boys’ Tarrio guilty of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

Link

The leader of the Proud Boys, along with three other extremist group members, were found guilty of sedition. These sedition convictions follow the sedition convictions of the Oath Keepers earlier this year.

Tarrio was a top target of what has become the largest Justice Department investigation in American history. He led the neo-fascist group — known for street fights with left-wing activists — when Trump infamously told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” during his first debate with Biden.

Tarrio wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6, because he had been arrested two days earlier in a separate case and ordered out of the capital city. But prosecutors said he organized and directed the attack by Proud Boys who stormed the Capitol that day.

In addition to Tarrio, a Miami resident, three other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy: Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl.

Sentencing will follow, but the prison sentence could range up to 20 years.

The verdict comes after a trial that took more than twice as long as originally expected, slowed by bickering, mistrial motions and revelations of government informants in the group. Securing the conviction of Tarrio, a high-profile leader who wasn’t at the riot itself, could embolden the Justice Department as a special counsel investigates Trump, including key aspects of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The judge told jurors to keep deliberating on a few remaining counts where they haven’t reached agreement.

Just a few snippets for the critical thinkers lurking.


Yall are smart enough to do the math.

So they finally nailed the white nazi's! I suppose the real message here is - Don't fight against our version of the Brown Shirts or you will pay!

This is the kind of thing that really has me worried. They are not jailing people for what they did, they are jailing them for what they think, whether they actually think it or not. The DNC has to be stopped. I am not sure how. In some sense I think it will crush itself in the weight of its own lies...but how many of us will also be crushed while that is happening??? Sad times. Sad times.

Love, peace, and harmony, all very nice, but maybe in the next world.

Yeh this trial was crazy and it definitely gave me the vibe of show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

What did he do besides protest on his own property? Or plan it?

Guilty Bidens will be much easier.

Some more math to do.

Again, for the critical thinker...

I believe there was texts between himself and others that were saying bad things about our government. I bet we will never see them in their actual context.

So in this day and age, if they pull you to NYC or Washington DC to put you on trial you just know you are going to do time. They have the judge and jury in their pocket ready to put you in your place. That place is jail.

FREE THE PROUD BOYS!

The bitter truth is alot of people are so scared that they would never wear a shirt proclaiming that in any major city in the USA. But a Che or Mao or Lenin shirt? NO PROBLEM! It's perfectly admirable.

Hell I bet you can't even where a George Washington tshirt in Washington DC without getting dirty looks. How far we have fallen in the last 40 years? It's amazing.

I think you have an unspoken agenda here.

seriously, that's a thing used in a court of law? Did they use telepathy?

muh common critical race thought crime core theoretical mathseses say, yup.
The Regime likes their sacrificial scapegoats of "no more 1a and 2a, USA hardy har"...
It's so cute they expose themselves.

Apologies, I'll work on making my agenda of exposing double standards, malicious prosecution and tyranny more known.

Facts don't matter in the face of truth!

The double standards and unequal application of law has gone beyond a joke in the USA.
I seem to recall an entire year of violently organised riots and taking over parts of a city in a direct violent uprising against the Govt - by Antifa and BLM. Why are their leaders and organisers not in jail?

Tried by a criminal court. Oh, the irony of it all.


Only the wrath of God will save this nation now.

The defense even showed that their "anti-government manifesto" was written by the FBI itself!
Sadly, this is the same tactic they've used on numerous Muslim groups, and the so-called kidnapping plot against Gov. Whitmer: They plan the crime themselves, recruit a few saps, then bust them for terrorism (or in this case, sedition).

Could be a COINTELPRO operation complete with disposable identities 😎

It was all just too perfect 😎

Same with The Oath Keepers 😎

I think the country very soon is going to go from a fake insurrection to rebellion. This is ridiculous.

We’ve got secret ways of getting rid of you.’

And if it is can it be used on an entire government?

The FBI logged more than 13,600 arrests coming out of the Summer 2020 riots.

As a general rule, prosecution of sedition is a Federal prerogative, assumed to supersede the interests of individual states. That's probably why AG Barr, and Deputy AG Rosen in September of 2020 advocated that US Attorneys strongly consider bringing charges of sedition and seditious conspiracy against some of the rioters when the US Attorneys thought it was appropriate:

Apparently, none of the US Attorneys thought the facts on the ground would support conviction.
