The leader of the Proud Boys was banned from staying in Washington, D.C. until his next court hearing, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio, 36, was charged with stealing and destroying a Black Lives Matter banner and for possessing two high-capacity firearm magazines and issued a pretrial stay away order, according to court records. Tarrio was released from jail, but is subject to arrest if he remains in the district, the judge ruled.
The Proud Boys are part of the pro-President Donald Trump protests against certifying the results of the presidential election, organizers said on Twitter.
The AR-15/M4 30 round magazines donning Proud Boys emblems carried by Tarrio were not loaded, according to the court filing. Tarrio told police he sells the magazines on his website and that a customer’s order had been shipped to the wrong address, so he was planning on delivering them when they met in Washington.
“I have a customer, and I can show you proof of that, cause I knew, I was like, ‘Oh, I have mags in my bag, and now they are going to start asking me about the mags,’” Tarrio said, according to the court filing.
Tarrio’s attorney requested that he only be banned from Black Lives Matter Plaza, but the judge denied the request, adding that Black Lives Matter banners are displayed throughout the city, the DCist reported.
Tarrio was arrested upon entering Washington Monday night ahead of expected protests against certifying the results of the presidential election, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. He was suspected of stealing and burning a Black Lives Matter sign from the Asbury United Methodist Church, one of the oldest black churches in the city.
“Today, January 4, 2021, upon entering the District of Columbia and pursuant to a DC Superior Court Arrest Warrant, MPD members arrested 36 year-old Henry ‘Enrique’ Tarrio, of Miami, FL. He was charged with Destruction of Property related to an offense that occurred on Saturday, December 12, 2020 in the 900 block of 11th Street, Northwest,” MPD Spokesperson Sean Hickman told the DCNF Monday night.
Tarrio posted to social media site Parler Dec. 29 that “The Proud Boys will turn out in record numbers on Jan 6th but this time with a twist … We will not be wearing our traditional Black and Yellow. We will be incognito and we will spread across downtown DC in smaller teams,” according to the court filing.
Laws for thee - not for me.
I will not submit.
Only Antifa and BLM allowed in DC.
This is outrageous.
Time for our side to start getting into faces and doxing the enemies of freedom.
I don’t know how to do that.
Doxing is fairly simple, but useless if your people don’t do anything with the info.................
They live there.....................
Good point.
I’m with you on this. The only way to get th the Rats attention is force. Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice.
But burning and destroying an American flag is "free speech."
Black lives don’t matter
Unconstitutional on its face.
Defiance!
They don’t give a damn about The Constitution.................
It is time for the Marxist bastards get a dose of their own medicine.
A strong look into the window the Dems have wrought with Biden & Harris.
The penalty for not paying attention around you is about to begin.
How does one get banned from his country’s capital?? That seems unconstitutional.
Judges create laws on the fly. They don’t give a damn about the Constitution..................
The phrase people forget is “without due process.” Going through the judicial system is “due process.”
You forgot that “Due” doesn’t mean “Dictatorial”.
All the words matter. Don’t just focus on “Process”.
The Constitution is dead. As one wag put it, “It’s just a G*dd@mn piece of paper”...
