The leader of the far-right Proud Boys was arrested in Washington.



WASHINGTON — The leader of the Proud Boys, the far-right group that has vocally supported President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results, was arrested on Monday on charges of destruction of property after he arrived in Washington to protest the congressional certification of the election later this week, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Enrique Tarrio, the chairman of the Proud Boys, was arrested by Metropolitan Police on suspicion of burning a Black Lives Matter banner torn from a historic Black church in Washington during protests last month that led to several violent clashes, including stabbings, around the city.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that Mr. Tarrio, 36, had been arrested on charges of destruction of property, stemming from a mid-December incident in downtown Washington. Upon his arrest he was found to be in possession of two high-capacity firearm magazines and charged accordingly with possession.

Real Tuff Guy ... Attacking a Church and a Flag :rofl2:

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested Monday after allegedly destroying a Black Lives Matter sign at a historic Black church in Washington D.C. last month.

Tarrio, chairman of the far-right self-described group of all-male “Western Chauvinists,” was taken into custody on suspicion of destruction of property after the Dec. 12 incident during a pro-Trump rally in downtown Washington, the city's police department said in a statement.

The city’s oldest Black house of worship, the Asbury United Methodist Church, said last month that a Black Lives Matter sign was removed from its building and set on fire.

Tarrio, 36, who lives in Miami, was arrested upon entering the city Monday and found to have two high capacity magazines, the department said. He faces an additional gun charge, the department said.
The arrest comes two days before more anticipated pro-Trump protests in the city, plans that prompted the mobilization of the National Guard ahead of of possible violence.

Also on Monday, the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church sued Tarrio and the Proud Boys over the alleged destruction of a Black Lives Matter sign during the same Dec. 12 pro-Trump rally.

In a complaint filed in Washington, D.C., Superior Court, the church accused Tarrio and its members of “engaging in acts of terror and vandalizing church property in an effort to intimidate the Church and silence its support for racial justice.”
Eight unidentified members of the Proud Boys are also named in the suit.

The incident occurred on the night of Dec. 12, after an event that featured right-wing figures like conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn.

showed several people destroying a Black Lives Matter sign in front of the church, which was founded in 1872 and hosted Frederick Douglass’ 1895 funeral.

In the suit, lawyers for the church alleged that between five and eight members of the group leapt over its iron fence, broke the zip ties that held the plastic Black Lives Matter sign in place and joined “in the celebration of the sign’s destruction.”

In the incident at Asbury, the church's senior pastor said that pro-Trump supporters had taken a Black Lives Matter sign from its walls and “literally burned it in the street.”

He'll soon see how tough he is in prison.

"Tarrio, 36, who lives in Miami, was arrested upon entering the city Monday and found to have two high capacity magazines, the department said. He faces an additional gun charge, the department said."

$20 says he does a little bit of time and a lot of probation. This could easily turn into a felony if he's guilty.

Some guys, like CFM, like it that way. Enrique has done time before. This third strike may not go well for him.

Not that Proud Boys aren't used to going back to prison: https://www.vice.com/en/article/vb5...-the-proud-boys-he-sent-to-prison-for-4-years
Two members of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist street-fighting gang, will spend four years in prison for brawling with protesters on the Upper East Side of Manhattan last year.

Maxwell Hare, 27, and John Kinsman, 39, were sentenced Tuesday by State Supreme Court Judge Mark Dwyer, who said that the hefty sentence was, in part, intended to discourage extremists from rallying in New York in the future.

“I know enough about history to know what happened in Europe in the '30s when political street brawls were allowed to go ahead without any type of check from the criminal justice system,” Dwyer said, according to the Times. “We don’t want that to happen in New York… especially at this time in the country when people are so divided.”

DC will throw the book at him if convicted due to his violent background and past criminal record (at least two strikes).

The "destruction of property" charge can be a hefty one: https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-303.html

Whoever maliciously injures or breaks or destroys, or attempts to injure or break or destroy, by fire or otherwise, any public or private property, whether real or personal, not his or her own, of the value of $1,000 or more, shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01 or shall be imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both, and if the property has some value shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01 or imprisoned for not more than 180 days, or both.
