That Would Be About Right...

McALLEN, Texas | Later this month, kids. Wait on it. It's coming for Enrique Tarrio, so-called leader of the anti-America Proud Boys. Justice, we mean. Payback for that riot at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. That's Tarrio in photo above.

Sentencing day is approaching.

He knows it. But is he ready for the judge's action, for a long prison term? Likely not. Criminals never believe such days will ever come. This one will.

From a news report at Daily Kos: [ 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 the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents filed Thursday.

Tarrio, who served as national chairman of the far-right extremist group, and three lieutenants were all convicted by a Washington jury in May of conspiring to block the transfer of presidential power in the hopes of keeping Republican Donald Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election.

Prosecutors are also asking for a 33-year-sentence for one of Tarrio's co-defendants, Joseph Biggs of Ormond Beach, Florida, a self-described Proud Boys organizer.

They are asking the judge to impose a 30-year prison term for Zachary Rehl, who was president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia; 27 years in prison for Ethan Nordean of Auburn, Washington, who was a Proud Boys chapter president; and 20 years for Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boys member from Rochester, New York.

Tarrio, of Miami, and his co-defendants will be sentenced before U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in a string of hearings starting later this month in Washington’s federal court. ]

It's a heartbreaker for relatives of all these yahoos. For sure.

They likely still live on bravado of being rebels and rebellious...
