Former Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs sobbed as he was sentenced to 17 years in prison over his role in the January 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Enrique Tarrio were all found guilty of seditious conspiracy by a Washington D.C. jury after they broke into the Capitol following the 2020 election.
During his sentencing on Thursday, Biggs' lawyers argued he did not assault anyone as they asked for leniency.
snip
The judge ruled that Biggs was qualified for a terrorism sentencing enhancement because he teared down of a fence that stood between police and rioters.

Apparently these guys live in fantasy worlds of imagination where they and their militia buddies will be heroes when they overthrow a tyrannical government and water the tree of liberty with blood.
Reality intruded and the cosplay he-man cries in disbelief.
Unbelievable.

God it would be great to see Roger Stone frog marched from his home into a FBI car.
That dirty money and where it is from is one of the reasons McCarthy, Jordan, Cruz, Fox News,
and Bannon are screaming so loud.

(7,010 posts)If they'd been curious enough to see just how far up the food chain and where the conspiracy went, they might have learned enough to create a path to "cooperative witness-ville". Tell me these whackos didn't actually believe the system would make exceptions for their sorry whining.
The great thing about the "greatest generation" is they never imagined they were better or more exceptional than others. They'd seen how the clever guys as well as the most unsophisticated were all ultimately the same in a very real and inescapable aspect. They were in true equality, all protentional enemy bullet stoppers.

Hows it feel to give 17 yrs of your life and most of the rest of your time as a younger man to a two bit phony con man?

(50,674 posts)We CAN NOT allow Tiedrich and Tarrio into general population at any prison in the country. They will immediately start training a new generation of fucking Nazis who will be far worse than the Proud Boys ever were. And the government knows this.

(1,495 posts)he claimed that he didn't go into the Capitol building, just participated in the protests outside, but he might be lying! After all, he is a Trumper.
Glad to finally see some stiff sentences being passed out, especially for a POS like this asshole. The crying at sentencing is a bonus.
erronis
(15,711 posts)Perhaps they didn't bludgeon the police, trash/filth the Capitol; but they were there to support those that would. And support the possible take-over of the government by the turd and his supporters.
Hope you are able to cope with this situation. I would probably not be able to keep any contact.

Funny how that didn't make it into his statement.
She was one of the people who testified on the first day of the hearings and he was part of the group that assaulted her.

(6,437 posts)But started listening to RW news that affirmed his low level flaw which helped him bring them out into the open. Then went to RW hate media which made him triple down on it. Then made it into a movement. And then started believing his own bullshit.
And. Not. Fucking. Once. Thought. About. The. Consequences.
Just like the "yes men" of Nazi Germany. Realized their screw up after the fact when the consequences occur. These idiots believe the Military is full of people who will come to their support and are given a wake up call when they don't or even take them down.
Don't believe your own bullshit and listen to opposing views to challenge your thinking.
