Who is Enrique Tarrio? The Proud Boys Leader Sentenced to 22 Years for Capitol Riot.

The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group, Enrique Tarrio, has been jailed for 22 years for his part in the Capitol riot. Tarrio, 39, was raised in a Catholic family in Little Havana, Miami. He became involved in the Proud Boys group in 2018. With his Afro-Cuban heritage, he was also the Florida director ‘Latinos for Trump’. In the court case against him, Tarrio was accused of being the "primary organizer” of the Proud Boys involvement in the Capitol riot, despite not being in Washington DC on the day. He was convicted earlier this year of numerous offences including ‘seditious conspiracy’. On January 6, 2021, following Donald Trump losing the presidential election, a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol building. The far-right Proud Boys group took part part in the riot, which has been linked to several deaths, and injured 138 police officers. While Enrique Tarrio wasn’t present on the day, he encouraged the rioters by posting messages online. The messages included: “Make no mistake, we did this”, then “do what must be done”, and that he was “enjoying the show”. Tarrio’s defence lawyer argued that he was just a “keyboard ninja” who liked to “talk trash” without intending to take part in any seditious acts. But Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump nominee, rejected that argument, stating “Tarrio was the ultimate leader, the ultimate person who organised, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal”. Tarrio’s 22 year sentence is the longest handed down to anyone involved in the Capitol riot so far. Last week three other members of the Proud Boys involved in the riot were sentenced to between 10 and 17 years in prison. #usa #trump #crime Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok:   / ondemandnews   Twitter:   / odn   Facebook:   / odn   If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
