Leader of pro-Trump group Proud Boys (that recently had its brand name taken over by some left wing LGBTQ rights group) has been arrested days before Pence electoral count drama and crucial GA Senate election:

PROUD BOYS LEADER ARRESTED

Jan. 4, 2021



Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, stands outside Harry's bar during a protest on December 12, 2020 in Washington, DC. Thousands of protesters who refuse to accept that President-elect Joe Biden won the election are rallying ahead of the electoral college vote to make Trump's 306-to-232 loss official.

WASHINGTON - The leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, was arrested by D.C. police Monday afternoon on a warrant charging him with burning a Black Lives Matter banner taken from a historic Black church during a demonstration last month, officials said.

Police stopped a vehicle Tarrio had been in shortly after it entered the District, said Dustin Sternbeck, a D.C. police spokesman. He said it is believed that Tarrio, who lives in Miami, was coming into the District from the airport.

ternbeck said Tarrio is charged with one misdemeanor count of destruction of property in connection with the Dec. 12 burning of a banner stolen from Asbury United Methodist Church. Tarrio had told The Washington Post last month that he was among those who burned the banner.
Police said Tarrio, who was in custody Monday evening, also was charged with two felony counts of possession of high-capacity ammunition feeding devices, which is a legal term for a firearms magazine that allows guns to hold additional bullets. The devices were found during the arrest, police said.

Leader of pro-Trump group Proud Boys (that recently had its brand name taken over by some left wing LGBTQ rights group)

In response to LGBTQ posts on twitter attempting to hijack the Proud Boys brandname and turning it into a gay pride saying, inter-mixing the brand with dudes making out with each other, the Proud Boys released a photo of founder Gavin McGinnes making out with right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopolis.

Soo... that kinda backfired.

[dannno]

Once again, fake news not telling the whole story.

The mainstream media narrative was that the "white supremacist" group (who has an awful lot of minority and LGBTQ members..) were burning a flag in front of a black church like it was some racial thing..

They were burning the BLM flag because BLM had been burning Trump flags and businesses and churches and $#@!.

Enrique informed them that he was behind it to make them look stupid for saying it was some racial thing against a black church.. but they just ended up arresting him for misdemeanor property destruction, which is ridiculous considering that the property owner has destroyed like billions of dollars worth of stuff and essentially a terrorist organization.

Then they got him for the mags, which, who knows.. could have been planted, could have been left in his truck on accident...

I'd like to see the leader of Antifa get arrested instead.

Boy, did it ever.

Someone: Proud boys are gay.
Proud Boys: You bet we are!

Of course they didn't have to post pictures of dudes making out to prove that. They could have just posted any random picture of Enrique Tarrio simply looking like himself. Or no pics at all, since the name of the group is already a dead give away.

Who is that?

[olehounddog]

It was a banner not a flag. Antifa BLM display burnt Trump, Gadsden, and US flags on the end of their flagpoles. If you see a wad of something on the end of their flagpole it's a burnt flag stolen from Patriots.

[Danke]

Who is that?

He should be deported to israel.

Absolutely

Antifa is the most successful chaotic proxy Force inside US in my lifetime

Their power in the press is incredible

Wow. Such good police work. Mere minutes after entering D.C. they were able to pull over the vehicle he was riding in. Did the FBI help them with intelligence?

Heh. Small world. I grew up with Dustin in Alexandria. On one hand, it's rather amazing and surprising that he ended up being a police spokesman, considering the kind of person he was. On the other hand, not so surprising.

Y'all still haven't figured out that it's all tracked and interlinked? 100 bucks says his flight registration, via the FAA, sent notice to MPD of his arrival as an outstanding warrant and a person-of-interest, he was followed from the airport by unmarked MPD, who radioed ahead to marked MPD to stop the car as soon as it crossed into DC.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has banned the leader of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, from the nation’s capital after he was accused of vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church and found with high-capacity firearm magazines when he was arrested.

The order bans Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 36, from entering the District of Columbia, with very limited exceptions to meet with his attorney or appear in court. It comes a day after he was arrested arriving in Washington ahead of protests planned by supporters of President Donald Trump to coincide with the congressional vote expected Wednesday to affirm Joe Biden’s election victory.

Tarrio was arrested Monday by the Metropolitan Police Department and accused of burning a Black Lives Matter banner that was torn down from a historic Black church in downtown Washington last month. He was charged with destruction of property and is also facing a weapons charges after officers found him with the firearm magazines when he was arrested.

According to the criminal complaint, when police pulled Tarrio over on the warrant for vandalizing the Black Lives Matter sign, officers found two unloaded magazines emblazoned with the Proud Boys logo in his bag that have a capacity of 30 rounds each for AR-15 or M4-style weapons.Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, has been ordered by a judge to stay out of Washington DC following his arrest by DC Police on Monday.

...

... Tarrio also said, according to a police report, that he sells the clips and the ones he was carrying were purchased by a customer. “I had a customer that bought those two mags, and they got returned ’cause it was a wrong address,” Tarrio said, according to court papers. “And I contacted him, and he’s like, ‘I’m going to be in DC,’ so I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ll take ‘em to you.’ So that I can show you proof ....I can give you, like my invoices and stuff like that from it, and, like, the USPS shipping label.”

He was arrested in a tunnel near the Capitol, ahead of what is expected to be large far-right protests gathering in D.C. according to Tarrio’s online postings: “The ProudBoys will turn out in record numbers on Jan 6th but this time with a twist,” saying they’d spread out incognito.

He is a $#@!ing idiot and guilty. He deserved to be arrested. Admitted to destruction of property and everyone know you can't bring those mags into DC.

They didn't arrest any BLM for almost burning down a church, but he gets arrested for burning a BLM flag?

The only reason he admitted to it was because they were claiming in the media it was a white supremacist group who burned down a flag of a black church. He's black.

He is Cuban as I understand.. and very anti-communist.

Has a freedom attitude born under repression. I can relate to that.

Seems like BLM leadership doesn't run to the press to admit committing crimes, nor do they record themselves doing them.

The media is already in the bag for BLM, why would they need to do anything?

If BLM can say whatever they want to the media and have no repercussions for it, why haven't they?


If right-wing groups can't say anything to the media, why do they?
