Summary

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for allegedly assaulting a protester by striking her phone and arm.

Tarrio had just left a press conference alongside other far-right figures pardoned by Donald Trump for their roles in the January 6 attack.

Tarrio was previously serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy before Trump’s mass clemency.

A recent poll shows most Americans disapprove of pardoning Capitol rioters. Tarrio’s attorney has not yet commented on the new charges.

    They just can’t help themselves. They just have to be violent assholes and prove their inferiority to everyone else whenever they have the chance.

      That only works until they find a leftist who is armed and fed up with their shit. Then they take the pine box challenge.

    Enrique Tarrio is the kind of person that used to squeeze their acne in high school, for fun.

    “The woman told our officers that she wanted to be a complainant, and [Tarrio] was arrested for the simple assault,” police said in a statement.

    Assault in the Fourth degree in Washington can get you for even a tap or push. If this woman knew who Enrique was, she could have very easily (and intentionally) got him arrested for this: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.36.041

      Or, and stay with me here, she’s a victim who was attacked by a man who leads a group characterised as: Misogynistic, Islamophobic, transphobic and anti-immigration.

      You know he actively did it, he’s not the kind of asshole that keeps his hands to himself, as evidenced by, well, everything about him and his history.

      It’s not hard to keep your hands to yourself. You just don’t touch. It’s literally one of the first things parents teach kids.
