Counter-protester arrested, mocked as Jan. 6 defendants and supporters march to U.S. Capitol

On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day, when the mob made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue, battled police at the Capitol barricades and stormed inside, as lawmakers fled. The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the events, which were broadcast around the globe. And the former leader of the militant Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, summoned people for a midday march retracing the rioters' steps from the White House to the Capitol, this time to honor Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt and others who died in the Jan. 6 siege and its aftermath. More than 100 people gathered, including Babbitt's mother. Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy for orchestrating the Jan. 6 attack. He is among more than 1,500 defendants whose charges were dropped after Trump issued sweeping pardons upon returning to the White House last year. The crowd marched through downtown Washington, D.C., passing landmarks including the Washington Monument before ending near Capitol Hill. Many people pardoned for Jan. 6-related crimes attended the march, along with family members.
