Summary
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for allegedly assaulting a protester by striking her phone and arm.
Tarrio had just left a press conference alongside other far-right figures pardoned by Donald Trump for their roles in the January 6 attack.
Tarrio was previously serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy before Trump’s mass clemency.
A recent poll shows most Americans disapprove of pardoning Capitol rioters. Tarrio’s attorney has not yet commented on the new charges.
Yeah, that’s likely the test right now. Does tarrio serve a month in jail or does he get immediately pardoned. If he’s pardoned, that’s a pretty strong signal for the brown shirts to start attacking people.
Be careful out there and don’t expect the law to be fairly applied :(
Sometimes you read something and it just hits you what an obvious and correct statement of truth it is. That happened when I read your comment, and it almost literally sent chills down my spine.
