Judge doubts Proud Boy leader's 'intention to plan violence is in the past' -- and orders his continued detention
Raw StoryA federal judge has ordered Proud Boy Charles Donohoe, who is indicted along with three other members of the nationalist gang for conspiracy to disrupt the electoral college certification, to remain in detention as he awaits trial. "Mr. Donohoe stands charged with interfering with the peaceful transfer of power, which is a grave offense, to say the least," Kelly said. "There is significant evidence of a leadership role, significant evidence that Mr. Donohoe was part of a network," Kelly said. "I don't think there's any reason to believe that Mr. Donohoe's demonstrated intention to plan violence is in the past," Kelly said. "We've seen evidence that I described that suggests, again, that Mr. Donohoe and his co-defendants think that, again, 'facial recognition doesn't mean shit when you've got 5.56 green tip,' that there is a need for violence going forward," Kelly added.
