Raw Story  

The May 4 conviction of former Proud Boys national chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio and three other leaders on charges of seditious conspiracy and dozens of others was made possible by the Proud Boys themselves. Two Proud Boys received four-year sentences for attacking anti-fascists in New York City in 2018, and a neo-Nazi received a term of life plus 419 years for the car-borne murder of Heather Heyer at the infamous “ Unite the Right ” rally in Charlottesville, Va., that was organized by Proud Boys Jason Kessler in August 2017. No Quarter.” After the 2020 election, Zachary Rehl, president of the Philadelphia Proud Boys chapter who was convicted alongside Tarrio, wrote on Parler, a right-wing social media platform, “Hopefully, the firing squads are for the traitors that are trying to steal the election from the American people.” Joseph Biggs, the fourth Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy and who gained a reputation for graphic threats of violence years before the insurrection, took to Parler as well to make threats. The government also detailed how Proud Boys on trial “played crucial roles in the first four security breaches that culminated in rioters invading the Capitol,” according to Parloff.
