On Thursday, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that a key high-ranking member of the Proud Boys being held in a jail in Seminole County, Florida is alleging to have been "threatened" by other inmates in the facility while awaiting trial for his involvement in planning the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Joseph R. Biggs, 37, was a leader among the Proud Boys in planning 'an organized and violent attack' upon the country's democracy and its Capitol building on Jan. 6, according to federal prosecutors," the paper reported. "And word that Biggs is locked up in a subsection of the Seminole County Jail, which holds about 150 federal inmates in other cases, has been getting around, according to J. Daniel Hull, who represents Biggs. 'I do worry about somebody wanting to test Joe Biggs' mettle,' Hull said. 'I think that's going to be coming up more and more.'"
Biggs has been charged as part of a conspiracy videos taken of the incident shows his fellow Proud Boys violently stampeding into the Capitol.

(8,677 posts)He's tough when it's 150 of them vs one capitol hill or DC cop, let's see how tough he is when there is 150 of them and one of him..........
And of course he won't be armed, which gives his kind a lot of false bravado and courage.......

The guys in jail don't give a damn about the Proud Boys or any of that nonsense. He ain't worth doing more time, unless he was pissing off other inmates. These Proud Boys are great at shooting their mouths, he probably brought that garbage the general population and found out, real fast, you have to back up your mouth if you are running it in that environment.

Pretrial detention versus bail? Not relevant. There is a method for making that decision, and prison violence has got nothing to do with it.
Offer him a cooperation/plea deal or not? Not relevant.
Shall the jury convict or acquit? Not relevant.
What sentence will the judge hand down? Not relevant.
Sucks for him that other inmates want to kick his ass. The jail staff should handle those threats/dangers properly. But beyond that I am unmoved.

(8,722 posts)He's not big enough or connected enough to warrant that kind of violence for no reason.
But one thing these Proud Boys and their ilk do is talk shit all day. Their arrogance, loudness, and open racism isn't going to play well in prison. I figure he was running his mouth and someone had enough of that. There's a social order in prison, newbies are at the bottom. There, if you talk tough, you better back that up.
He did not get to these threats because he was being nice and quiet. Running your mouth is a choice. He could shut up, do his time, wait for trial, if he wasn't an arrogant toe-rag.
