Let me start by condemning Racism entirely and any violence that happened Jan 6th! Should a POC be imprisoned for 22 years for an event that they were not even at? The DOJ pushed for 33! These prison sentences seem a little extreme, especially for a city like DC.
White judge Timothy Kelly say Tarrio showed “no remorse” but all of Enrique Tarrio’s quoted statements all sound very remorseful! Tarrio is quoted saying he’s been “trying to figure out how I ended up at this podium”; he stated he was against the violence that erupted at the capital and it was never his goal to inflict harm.
Direct Quotes:
Former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and leading a failed plot to prevent the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
The sentence from District Judge Timothy Kelly is the longest given to anyone in relation to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Kelly said at the end of the three hour hearing, adding that he has shown “no remorse.”
Tarrio had been arrested in Washington, DC, days before the riot for burning a DC church’s Black Lives Matter banner and bringing high-capacity rifle magazines into the district, and was ordered by a judge to leave the city.
But Kelly said that while Tarrio may not have been present at the Capitol during the attack, the Proud Boys leader “had an outsized impact on the events of the day. “
the Justice Department had sought 33 years in prison for Tarrio. Kelly sentenced Ethan Nordean and Joseph Biggs, two of the far-right organization’s top lieutenants, to 18- and 17-year prison sentences, respectively. Zachary Rehl, a local Proud Boys chapter leader, was sentenced to 15 years behind bars, while Dominic Pezzola, a low-level member and the only defendant acquitted of the seditious conspiracy charge, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Before he was sentenced, Tarrio apologized for the “pain and suffering” that law enforcement, legislators, and others suffered on January 6, and vowed to have “nothing to do with politics, groups, activism or rallies.”
“I have always tried to hold myself to a higher standard and I failed,” he said. “I held myself morally above others, and this trial has shown me how wrong I was.”
But, Tarrio said, he was against the violence that erupted at the Capitol: “I am not a political zealot. Inflicting harm or changing the outcome of the election was not my goal.”
“These are men who would never strap a bomb to their chest or sign up for a training camp, but they are thrilled by the notion of traveling from city to city and beating their advisories senseless in a street fight,” Mulroe said.
Though he was not in Washington, DC, on January 6,
