Proud Boys Leader Released From Police Custody And Ordered To Leave D.C.
The leader of the right-wing group Proud Boys was released from police custody on Tuesday and ordered by a judge to leave Washington, D.C. — and stay away.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 36, was arrested Monday shortly after his arrival in the District, where Trump supporters are gathering to rally during Congress’ official certification of the Electoral College ballots on Wednesday.
Tarrio was charged with destruction of property and possession of high-capacity firearm magazines.
In media interviews, Tarrio has claimed responsibility for tearing down and burning a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church last month.
Tarrio appeared in court on Tuesday. A judge ordered him to leave the District and banned him from returning except for very limited conditions, including meeting with his attorney or attending a court date, The Associated Press reports. His next hearing is scheduled for June, according to WAMU.
Again, I’m not defending Tarrio’s destruction of property, he did it, he admits it, and it is wrong. It’s wrong for BLM/Antifa nutters to do it, but, interestingly, have you ever heard of a D.C. judge ordering one of them to leave the capital city of the United States of America and not come back except for court stuff? Can the judge legally do this, order a U.S. citizen to stay out of the People’s capital? Sure, a judge can order someone to stay away from a very specific place, but, a whole city? Especially the nation’s capital? What if Tarrio wants to go to the office of his Representative or Senators? Or witness what happens in Congress?
