The leader of the Proud Boys, the group that has vocally supported President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results, was arrested on Monday on charges of destruction of property after he arrived in Washington to protest the congressional certification of the election on Wednesday, according to reporter Will Carless and several individuals close to Tarrio.

Tarrio, the chairman of the Proud Boys, was arrested by Metropolitan Police on suspicion of burning a Black Lives Matter banner torn from a historic Black church in Washington during protests last month.

The DC is a little nazi style dictatorship. And most of it is dangerous and stinks too. Maybe we should move our federal government elsewhere

Into the Potomac works for me.

The Democrats are complicit in an attempted communist overthrow of our Constitution.

I believe that burning someone else’s property is illegal, even in DC.

The DC police have chosen a side and are the enemy. Act accordingly.

“... was arrested on Monday on charges of destruction of property..”

But, can they prove intent???

What divisions do they have outside of the states with dem and rhino govs. You are going to see an alliance of red states. DC is a foreign globalist entity. There should be no violence on the 6th, it is not the time yet. The Proud boys should counter sue the DC blm.

...Burning a fkn BLACK LIVES MATTER flag gets you prison...burning the American flag - or an American business - gets nothing."

..... You have a point .... However I think the charges are Theft of Property and Willful Destruction of Property ...... He wouldn't have been charged if he just Bought a BLM Banner and then burned it to make his point ....

...burning the American flag - or an American business - gets nothing.

Burning your own flag gets you nothing. Burning someone else's can get you arrested.

They’ve got Chy-Nah, as the President says.

[robel]

How brownshirt of them.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

I’m not sure, but it isn’t the country we grew up in.

It’s morphed into something the Founding Fathers would hate.

[RoosterRedux]

America is at war. Not really a cold war any more. Sort of a lukewarm war at the moment.

[meyer]

Wait a minute - so burning the American Flag, the symbol of our nation, is Ok, but burning the racist BLM flag is NOT???

What horse hockey.

Commies inside the wire literally

[cowboyusa]

Great, great way to rally most Americans too our side. Behind every blade of grass.

Arrested for burning a Burn Loot Murder banner?

And what about all the people, senior citizens, and women and children, the Proud Boys have protected from the thuggery of Burn Loot Murder?

Has their (BLM) leader been arrested yet?

Last year a man in Iowa got 16 years for stealing and burning a “pride” flag.
