Federal prosecutors have asked the court to sentence seditious conspirator Enrique Tarrio, former head of the fascist street gang Proud Boys, to 33 years in prison for his part in planning and executing the Malignant Loser's assault on democracy on January 6. As reported by the Associated Press:
"The Justice Department is seeking 33 years in prison for Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in one of the most serious cases to emerge from attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents.
The sentence, if imposed, would be by far the longest punishment that has been handed down in the massive prosecution of the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in a separate case, has received the longest sentence to date — 18 years. [snip]
“They unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election,” prosecutors wrote in their filing Thursday. “The foot soldiers of the right aimed to keep their leader in power. They failed. They are not heroes; they are criminals.” (our emphasis)
Gusano Cubano Tarrio and several of his Proud Boy thugs will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington, DC later this month. We'll be watching them go down. Go for the max.
