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 :(
That’s why next time make sure to get it on video and defend yourself in a way it makes it very hard for him to ever try it again.
Defend yourselves. Record everything. Livestream trash like Tarrio being aggressive. Level the playing field with these fascists. Show them as the aggressors. We all know they are, but most don’t.
