Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio entered a guilty plea today to misdemeanor charges connected to the vandalization of a Black Lives Matter banner torn from an historic Black church in DC after a pro-Trump rally in December.

Tarrio also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of possessing a high-capacity magazine.
He's facing a maximum of 6 months on each count when he's sentenced next month.
"I'm dying to get this over with this," Tarrio said. "I'm guilty--no defense."

No remorse for the things he does. He and the Proud Boys need to be monitored closely by the FBI.

is to cause your adversary as enormous expense as possible. Pleading guilty gets you to the next phase of that.

I seem to recall that his Nazi pals weren't too happy with him about that. A t-shirt reading that "Enrique Tarrio did nothing wrong" might be like waving a red flag in front of a bull for these pea-brains.
