Summary

Enrique Tarrio, the pardoned former Proud Boys leader, confronted and insulted police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, calling one a “coward.”

He followed officers Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, and Aquilino Gonell at a Washington hotel hosting the Principles First summit. The officers denounced his actions and Trump’s mass pardons of January 6 rioters.

The incident followed Tarrio’s recent arrest for assault near the Capitol.

Officers at the summit warned that Trump’s pardons embolden extremists and urged resistance against his political movement.

    Every time I hear the name “proud boys”, I expect them to arrive on a giant penis float as part of a parade. I bet the name was suggested to them as a joke that they failed to get.

      It’s one of the fascists’ tricks.

      You don’t instinctively recognize them as a threat when you hear “Proud Boys” or nerd ass shit like “power level”, “frenworld”, and “Grand Wizard”…

      It’s on purpose.

    Now normally, I am on the side of yelling shit at police.

    “You were brave on Twitter,” Tarrio said to one of the officers as he continued to follow them. “You guys were brave at my sentencing when you sat there and laughed when I got 22 fucking years. Now you don’t want to look in my eyes, you fucking cowards.”

    Fanone, a former Capitol police officer, then turns and tells him: “You’re a traitor to this country.”

    “They are operating under the assumption that, if they commit violent criminal acts on Donald Trump’s behalf, that he will pardon them for future violence,” Fanone said. “These are insurrectionists, let’s be very clear.”

    But I am unabashedly on the cops side here. Enrique, and the rest of the proud boys, are exceedingly huge pieces of shit.

    It’d be awesome in turn to see a crowd following and insulting the shitmouth, calling him a “fucking NPC”.

    That’s horrible behavior. Pride goes before the fall.
