Enrique Tarrio follows and insults officers who defended US Capitol on January 6

Source: The Guardian

Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right Proud Boys group who was convicted and then pardoned for his role in the January 6 insurrection, confronted a group of police officers who defended the Capitol during the attack, accusing one of them of being a “coward”.

A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through the lobby of a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a “profile in courage” award.

...

“A few moments ago, we were upstairs, and Enrique Tarrio and the Proud Boys were upstairs,” Gonell told conference attendees, prompting surprised gasps from the crowd. “How they got into the building, I don’t know, but it’s insane that we had to be subjected to their harassment now because they feel emboldened and empowered because of the pardons that they received.

“We shouldn’t be harassed for doing the right thing, for telling our story, for telling the truth, for speaking against them in court and in public. They’re the traitor. They’re the one who attacked the Capitol.”

Give it a little time and he'll advance to the FO stage.

There was video yesterday of him being arrested to assaulting a counter-protester near the Capitol. Capitol Police handled him professionally. He keeps it up, he'll trip and fall -- accidentally, you understand, during his next arrest.

The individual whom ET flailed his arm at was a counterdemonstrator to a Proud Boys rally in DC which ET attended.

Eventually Tarrio will do something violent. And Trump will probably pardon him again.

No other choice. Hopefully this will bring fear to them so they be kept in line.

otherwise, Been A Dick Donald has zero authority to pardon or commute anyone arrested or convicted of a state crime.

At this rate he will go overboard and seriously hurt or kill a dissenter.

He’s a poser who likes to play dress up. He’s also a snitch, having been an FBI informant. Don’t waste your time with this guy

He'll pick on the wrong person some day, they'll knock him out cold with one punch, and when he came to, he'd whine like the overgrown child he is. Luckily for him, the gentlemen he confronted were just that...gentlemen. And he isn't worth getting dirty over.

and false as Washington's teeth. If Tarrio wants to see a coward, he should check the nearest mirror,

The one who really worries me is Elmer Rhodes. He also worries his wife and kids. I hope they managed to find a hiding place somewhere and can manage to keep it from him. Otherwise, they may all be killed.

Proud Boys?

Grown men play like this?

Grow the fuck up, proud boys. Two-year olds are proud of their own shit, same as you.

Everybody else thinks Enrique need a diaper change. Except deplorables.

They will instigate violence in the protests, perhaps posing as protesters, in order to give Trump an excuse to declare martial law.

This would be especially useful just before the 2026 or 2028 elections, which he would then cancel.
