The former top leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group and other members were charged Monday with seditious conspiracy for what federal prosecutors say was a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
The latest indictment against Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman, and four others linked to the group comes as the U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot prepares to begin public hearings this week to lay out its findings.
The indictment alleges that the Proud Boys conspired to forcibly oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power. Tarrio and the others — Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola — were previously charged with different conspiracy counts.
They are scheduled to stand trial in August in Washington, D.C.’s federal court.
The seditious conspiracy charges are among the most serious filed so far, but aren’t the first of their kind. Eleven members or associates of the anti-government Oath Keepers militia group, including its founder and leader Stewart Rhodes, were indicted in January on seditious conspiracy charges in a serious escalation in the largest investigation in the Justice Department’s history.
Are we supposed to pretend Proud Boys doesn't sound like the name of a group of homos that are out of the closet? And they have a "no girls allowed" policy, are those dudes sucking each other off in their plate carriers or what?

Classic government over reach for propaganda and lawfare purposes. Many many such cases.
Back when this Proud Boys shit started up, I maintained that they were a fucking glow op designed to fail and discredit anyone right of the establishment. Most Any Forumsfaggots called me a shill. You are here now.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.
Quit making everything about race, OP. What are you, a BLM protester? Shouldn't we be post-racial the way we want them to be?

>The jews are the children of satan and are literally setting up our murder right now. This non sequitur seems to be a conclusive indication of retardation.
