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.

Is he being charged at the state level? Get this motherfucker in prison again and keep him there, please!

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 7 hours ago

Pushing the line to see what they can get with. They're going to start killing people soon.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Like I said

people are crazy

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 17 hours ago

And he's already been released.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 119 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

They just can't help themselves. They just have to be violent assholes and prove their inferiority to everyone else whenever they have the chance.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 58 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

he'll be pardoned because this is the kind of loser our two presidents are

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 60 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

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 :(

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 21 points 23 hours ago

Sometimes you read something and it just hits you what an obvious and correct statement of truth it is. That happened when I read your comment, and it almost literally sent chills down my spine.

Elon and Musk?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Wait, who's the second president? Musk and ... ?

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Presumably Trump? But that can't be right... We all know Trump is just President Musk's "coffee boy."

[–] flyingjake@lemmy.one 6 points 20 hours ago

his covefeffer, if you will

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Musk and his shitty crotch fruit who told Trump he isn't president.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Did that kid really say that? If there’s video of that I need to see it.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, also that he needed to "shush" and that trump "needed to go now"

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Wouldn't this be a state or city level crime?

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

D.C. isn't a state, and capitol police are Federal officers. It's a legally weird place.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 20 hours ago

✨ legally weird for historical slavery reasons ✨

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours ago

Who knows anymore

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He has small dick energy. He should go and work for Tesla.

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago

They only accept incels with mangled dick energy, sorry Enrique.

[–] Geodad@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

That only works until they find a leftist who is armed and fed up with their shit. Then they take the pine box challenge.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Dude’s name is Enrique Tarrio. Can’t we get some inbreds to burn crosses on his lawn?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Imagine how angry this guy must be - he's essentially a white supremacist, and yet, every white supremacist, no matter who they are, still thinks they are default better than him...

I mean, you also have to be a very special kind of stupid to have a name like Enrique Tarrio and run around with the redcaps.

I cannot imagine what that level of cognitive dissonance must be like...

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 43 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

"Welp, I'm gonna need another pardon, boss!!"

Fucking idiots are just emboldened assholes now. And with good reason.

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Enrique Tarrio is the kind of person that used to squeeze their acne in high school, for fun.

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't everyone squeeze their pimples in high school?

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Maybe not for sport, like this guy.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Wait... I did that! Am I a trum...I can't say it! No! No! Noooooooo!

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 16 hours ago

yes, hes cuban descent, and they called him a token black guy before too in his supremecy group.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

Here’s hoping they all end up back in jail.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

Enrique Tarrio can go jump up his own butt.

[–] Hellinabucket@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Everyone in the comments talking about him just getting a 2nd pardon, you're assuming the charges stick.
