Proud Boy shouts ‘Trump won’ as he’s sentenced to 10 years in prison for Jan 6 crimes

Dominic Pezzola – who smoked a “victory” cigar after breaching the halls of Congress on January 6, allowing a mob of Donald Trump’s supporters to storm the building – is among five Proud Boys who were jointly convicted earlier this year on a range of charges connected to the attack. Prosecutors had argued that Pezzola – a former US Marine – “acted as a soldier in the civil war he had envisioned” when he joined the mob on 6 January, 2021. US District Judge Timothy Kelly issued the sentence one day after sentencing prominent Proud Boys members Joe Biggs and Zachary Rehl to 17 and 15 years in prison, respectively – roughly half of what sentencing guidelines had suggested. Judge Kelly determined that Pezzola’s destruction amounted to terrorism, adding what is called an “enhancement” to the sentencing guidelines for the crime of destruction of government property.
