1. Lock them up. Throw away the key.

[tableturner]

3. How about this song?

[Bluethroughu]

4. Lol, perfect.

[Lucinda]

2. KNR

[Nitram]

5. The more of these people that are held accountable, the less likely others will follow the same path

Too bad we can't hold elected Republican office-holders accountable. It seems only their voters can do that.

6. When all of them have been rounded up, it would be interesting

and perhaps illuminating, to see a breakdown of which states were most involved. I'd love to know which states tended to have the most people riled up and ready to travel. Knowing that might be a starting point for figuring out how to deal with unrest in the future before it gets this bad. Media might have more to do with it than regional political leanings, still it seems worth investigating.

11. I'm curious about this, too. nt

20. Southern Poverty Law Center

Has been tracking and counting these yahoos for years. Couldn't swear to it, but I would bet their percentages are pretty close to those who took part in the insurrection.

21. That's a very good point. nt

27. You can actually see where they're from now (continually updated)

7. The Proud Boys who customarily outfit themselves in black and yellow colored clothing,...

... but this time was different. So they could identify each other in the crowd they were instructed to wear something blaze orange.


*~*~*~

snip,

The Proud Boys typically move around public demonstrations like a small army, flooding entire blocks in their trademark black and yellow colors. But on this day, their strategy was to avoid detection. Their self-styled “chairman,” Enrique Tarrio, had ordered the Proud Boys to go “incognito” and dress in plain clothes, so while they were central to the planning, inciting, and execution of the insurrection that led to five deaths, their role was not immediately obvious from the video disseminated from the scene.

In a stream from before the rally, Joe Biggs, a former InfoWars staffer who led the Proud Boys in Tarrio’s absence, reiterated the plan for the group not to wear their traditional colors. 

“We will not be attending D.C. in colors. We will be blending in as one of you. You won't see us. You'll even think we are you,” Biggs said. “We are going to smell like you, move like you, and look like you. The only thing we'll do that's us is think like us! Jan 6th is gonna be epic.”

12. Considerate of them to make it easier to convict them of conspiracy.

[crickets]

15. +1

[Leghorn21]

23. Yep!!

“Don't worry. If we get separated I'm wearing the orange tape like we agreed to as part of our conspiracy!"

28. And they documented the elements of the conspiracy, too!

8. Kornhold...LOL

I'm immature, I know it. But Corn Holed is a funny as hell last name.

[csziggy]

10. No "R" in her last name - but I love that I can tell her "Bye, Felicia!"

[llmart]

24. LOL

Also, there's a "Colon". Two cornholes and a colon. Sounds appropriate.

[lagomorph777]

9. Good! I wonder what lovely vacation spot the judge will send them to. Mexico? Peru?

[spanone]

13. K&R

[Lunabell]

14. Goddess help that poor self hating woman.

Being a member of such a misogynist group is beyond my comprehension. I just don't get right wing women who cling to the patriarchy. They seem so strong yet so stupid and sad.

[IronLionZion]

18. She must be the dude's wife

since the proud boys have aggressively blocked women from joining and sued the splinter group called "Proud Girls" started by a transphobic female MMA fighter.

[Leghorn21]

25. Brother and sister, according to seditiontracker:

Another Proud Boy who was arrested today along with his sister.

Fun Fact: First brother-sister combo to be charged.

Are they PROUD to be brother and sister? I dunno!

[IronLionZion]

16. Bye Felicia!

it takes a self hating woman to marry an ashamed boy, or whatever her relationship is to these boys

[AllaN01Bear]

17. dont use id tape .

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Lock them up. At least they will have a smaller, "captive" racist audience...

[FakeNoose]

22. Thank you DoJ for getting the trash off our streets

[Hortensis]

26. Just for a note, these "boys" reportedly average in their later 30s and 40s,

archconservative neo-fascist, male only (of course, they're fascist), white nationalist, with preferably military and law enforcement backgrounds.

[JuJuYoshida]

30. I still get a kick out of the name "proud boys"

Cause they still don't realize gay men had that name long before them, same with the song "YMCA" while we're at it.
