Source: CNBC

Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right group Proud Boys was sentenced to 22 years in prison Tuesday after being convicted of seditious conspiracy to disrupt the 2020 presidential election certification on Jan. 6, 2021.

Tarrio’s sentence is four years longer than the second-longest prison term received by any of the 1,100-plus people who have so far been charged in connection with the Capitol riot.

The Department of Justice sought to put Tarrio behind bars for 33 years, saying he used his skills as a “naturally charismatic leader” and “savvy propagandist” to organize and execute the plan to forcibly stop the peaceful transfer of power from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden.

A defense attorney for Tarrio had asked the judge to issue a sentence of no longer than 15 years.

[sinkingfeeling]

1. He got off light.

[rpannier]

54. Yeah he did

Should have gotten the maximum

[peppertree]

58. +1

The Batista regime dealt with insurrectionists, shall we say, more harshly.

As in something out of a Hostel movie.

[Aristus]

2. He ought to be delighted.

There's no more appropriate place for toxic masculinity than prison. Enjoy the next 22 years, you traitorous creep.

[orangecrush]

73. Got that right

[masmdu]

3. Ha! Ha! ... Idiot

[Captain Zero]

25. Any photos of him with Trump ??

We should spread them around.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

33. Just this trump...

[Evolve Dammit]

56. That asshole next to you needs to be charged, tried and convicted as well. Jr. is just as complicit

[Midnight Writer]

78. There's a picture of him posing on the front porch of the WH after accepting an invitation from TFG.

[gohuskies]

4. 'Stand back and Stand by' for your long prison stint Enrique

He should have gotten the max sentence for his nefarious treachery. And the rest of his lieutenants got off way too light for treason. Now he can contemplate his allegiance to Mango Mussolini and where that road has taken him.

[homegirl]

43. Trump had

two weeks to issue a mass pardon for the participants, at all levels, in the 1/6 event. He didn't!!! Just shows how disposable these MAGA supporters are to Donald Trump.
Well, they will have decades to figure it out !!!!!

[electric_blue68]

68. Heh! (your title 👍 )

While he should have gotten the max; 22 years is nothing to sneeze at!

Imagine being stuck somewhere, and for that long!
You can't come, and go as you please (within the parameters of your life) which most people find pretty essential for a good life (obviously with possible adjustments in terms of accidents, possible disability).

Add then there's a pretty strict routine, etc.

Even a "country club" prison is still prison. It is a "gilded cage".

[lastlib]

77. Crocodile tears for En-REEK-ee....

May he experience all the joys of prison social life.

[LogicFirst]

5. Another Trumper goes to prison while Trump laughs.

[gab13by13]

6. 22 years is appropriate,

The judge's written decision was very appropriate and explained the reasoning behind the sentence.

Fuck Tarrio, hey buddy, Trump had 15 days to pardon you before he left the White House, but he didn't. you mean shit to Trump.

[onetexan]

12. i'm good w it. But if Tarrio got 22 the Con should get 20 life terms without parole, 5 more than

former FBI agent turned traitor Robert Hanssen got. It needs to be severe to serve notice to any other tinpot dictator wanting to try another coup attempt.

[Grins]

7. Once again, a sentence BELOW Prosecutors recommendation.

Driving me nuts.

Especially last week after tears and crying before the sentencing judge, jubilation outside the courtroom after sentencing.

[moniss]

45. The judge

didn't even split the difference but rather went more toward what the defense proposal was. Frustrating.

[tonekat]

55. Is that a TFG appointed judge? N/T

[moniss]

61. Yes from what I'm

reading.

[doc03]

8. Just what are these Proud Boys proud off

[Novara]

9. The prosecution asked for 33 years

Why not the maximum sentence for blowing up democracy?

What is redeeming about this motherfucker that he shouldn't get the max sentence?

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Once that judge set lower sentences for the other guys

that "forced" him ( ) to set "lower sentences" for the top guys.

I saw a report where DOJ was going to try to appeal those sentences.

[Novara]

16. I hope they do appeal

In many of these cases, the motherfuckers go right back to spewing their anti-government bullshit, totally unrepentant.

[AZLD4Candidate]

52. In their minds, they are martyrs to the cause

[Sky Jewels]

21. I agree they should all have gotten the maximum, BUT

I think the most important thing is these 15- and 20- year sentences are going to make a lot of fascist fucks think twice before taking violent action against the government. They are definitely long enough to act as deterrents.

[rurallib]

11. Enrique - This would be a good time to launch that presidential campaign

and then claim they can't imprison a presidential candidate.
Think about it

[Joinfortmill]

13. That should give Traitor Trump pause... TickTock

[MistakenLamb]

14. Hope he serves all of it

It should end any person who would pardon this scum

[PSPS]

22. There is no parole in federal convictions. his only hope is a presidential pardon. LOL.

[TomSlick]

31. He will serve most of it.

There is no parole in the federal system. However, an inmate can accrue 54 days of good conduct credit per year.

Good conduct doesn't require anything extraordinary, just follow the rules and stay out of trouble.

[tonekat]

57. I hope they are disappointed

when they are released, and instead of being cheered like the Ayatollah returning from exile, there will be no one to greet them.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Longest sentence;

so far.

[Jarqui]

17. Amazing what a little "election interference" will get you ...

How long before he starts bragging about how Trump will pardon him?

Or how long before Trump does? (Trump might have to be quiet for a while about that ...)

[Sky Jewels]

18. Yes! He's 39, so will be in his early 60s if he serves the entire term.

Enjoy your middle age, you treasonous racist dumbfuck!

[Demobrat]

29. In his early sixties with a prison record

and nothing to his name. These guys have completely ruined their lives for Trump, and Trump couldn’t care less. I wonder how long it will take them to figure that out.

[Sky Jewels]

65. What a stupid, stupid hill to die on!

[jaxexpat]

19. Soldiers with PTSD have been executed for less.

All the possibilities of human suffering and successes have been ground up to make America. This jerk tried hard to undo those efforts. This self absorbed example of entitlement gone lethal has cost more than he earned by his sweat.

[Gore1FL]

20. Stand Back (from the Cell Door) and Stand By (your bunk). It's inspection time. nt

[Ponietz]

28. He gets X-rayed to make sure his bum doesn't have contraband

[gab13by13]

23. The sentence is fine, it is enough to send a message.

Tarrio was a good, stupid, stooge, didn't flip on anyone at the Willard Hotel, smart move dummy.

[Botany]

24. No White Claw in the big house for Mr. Tarrio

*******

Now, Mr. Tarrio has a record of being a snitch for the FBI this might be a good time for him to
give up Roger Stone and where the proud boys were getting their money from.

[underpants]

35. I told my wife this seemed like a joke from the beginning

I’ve seen the “initiation” videos where people had to name cereals while sort of being hit by a mobile bag of fat.
McInnes?
This? This is your guy, Tarrio?!?
The are named after a song in Aladdin.

[Botany]

40. Tarrio has one way to get out of serving 20 + years and that is to give up Roger Stone and where ...

... the proud boys were getting their money from.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

71. The time to deal info

Was before the trial.

[johnnyfins]

49. I am sooooooooooo

Fucking sick of these fake tough guys. B
unch of stupid, but well-connected bullies. I fuckiing HATE bullies. I dont give a shit about how they became one.

[Mr. Evil]

67. They are nothing more than a seemingly endless line of useful idiots.

And as they're carted off to prison maybe after a few years they'll finally figure out that's all they really were.

[moniss]

50. One look at boneheads

like this should be enough to not follow anything they say. Unless of course someone is a bonehead too. They go to army surplus/survivalist sites and buy themselves some sort of poor man's tactical vest and strap it on them as they march around. They buy little bits of this and that and stuff it in the pouches etc. Like this clown Tarrio. I mean look he's got the vest on with nothing really in it except his drink and a flashlight over on the side. Was tough guy afraid it was going to get dark during his speech? Maybe that reddish/orange thing is a communication device/heart monitor/who knows sort of thing. Then he's got some weird thing with a hose hanging in front of him like maybe a respirator? But to let us all know he's cool if you look on his right collar and just below you can see a couple of pins he put on himself.

My favorites in this sort of crowd though are the ones who can't find camo in their size or didn't order right and then they have to wear it anyway and so it's either tight like it shrunk and they're wearing a belly shirt or it's so big and loose that their hands barely poke out of the sleeves and the legs of the pants are so big they look like a gaucho.

[3Hotdogs]

72. Does Club Fed have cosplay?

[DinahMoeHum]

26. Another case of F**ked Around and Found Out

[4lbs]

27. What is that, five of those guys now? Man they are getting hammered in court

So, did he cry to his mama during sentencing?

[bringthePaine]

30. lucky fucker - earlier times would have required the gallows

[AdamGG]

32. The longest sentence should be for

The Seditious Conspirator in Chief.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Totally agree!

[calimary]

36. "I Just Want to Celebrate! (Celebrate!)"

Rare Earth. I LOVED this song! And I still do!

[iluvtennis]

37. Good riddance.

[Playingmantis]

38. I love it when these so-called tough guys.

start crying and begging for mercy!
I wonder how long before his fiance finds a decent man to replace this scum?

[NBachers]

39. Welcome to Gladiator School, proud boy

[rambler_american]

41. I bet

I bet he won't do THAT again. LOL

[CarolinaNC]

42. They Need to Keep It Up - Haven't reached the TOP BOSS yet!

[Earth-shine]

44. 22 out of 33. That's 2 out 3 ... ain't bad ...

I am, of course, quoting modern-day philosopher Meatloaf.

[jmowreader]

46. After Stewart Rhodes got 18 years I was expecting Tarrio to get the same

Just before they shot Private Eddie Slovik for desertion, Slovik said to the people preparing him for execution,

"They're not shooting me for deserting the United States Army, thousands of guys have done that. They just need to make an example out of somebody and I'm it because I'm an ex-con. I used to steal things when I was a kid, and that's what they are shooting me for. They're shooting me for the bread and chewing gum I stole when I was 12 years old."

I suspect they're not REALLY throwing Henry Tarrio in prison for 22 years just for his role in the January 6 attack, as substantial as that role was. They're locking him up for 22 years for all the shit he has pulled in his life.

I also feel he won't do the whole 22. Inmates are highly intolerant toward police informants, and Tarrio has a long history of that.

[catbyte]

47. Well, at least it was longer than less than half of what the sentencing guidelines

dictated as he did with Rehl.

[Think. Again.]

48. At first I thought...

...that he would have it easy in prison, being a non-white white supremist and all.

But then I read that he had been a federal informant before any of this, it's known and documented, and I don't think they like 'snitches' in prison.

[BumRushDaShow]

53. The FBI had a couple informants in both groups

and he was one of them "in the past". And I expect they know who he is and that he was a snitch.

[irisblue]

51. Not long enough.

1

[Warpy]

59. He'll be 60 when he gets out

which is kind of late to be a boy, proud or otherwise.

He's just another right wing Cuban, parents likely close to the Batista dictatorship and raising him on stories of the good old days when a dictator in bed with the Mafia ruled Cuba with an iron fist. So of course the moron was set up to love TFG.

I just hope 22 years of prison will allow him the time to reflect that starting a right wing street gang probably wasn't such a great career path to take.

[SharonAnn]

62. Exactly. If the White Supremacists ever got control, he'd be purged because he's not "white enough"

[OAITW r.2.0]

60. Enjoy your time, Enrico. You FA and FO.

[Emile]

63. and he cried. . .

[Hermit-The-Prog]

64. Dear CNBC: A riot is spontaneous; this was a PLANNED, EXECUTED insurrection.

[The Grand Illuminist]

81. Levying war is a more exact term.

nt

[C Moon]

66. Hurray!!!! He'll be 60 when he gets out. Unless (of course), he's let out earlier.

[Ford_Prefect]

69. Not nearly long enough for this punk. On the other hand I suspect he'll be very popular

with all the really tough crowd...

[Kennah]

70. He'll be 60 when he gets outta prison. Strong motivation to flip.

[Ford_Prefect]

74. Too late for flipping IMO. That's usually done before trial or before conviction, no? At this point he's already had the chance

and the rumor was he has already (maybe) thrown some of the others under the bus, or given up details of how they coordinated with the White House and the coup enablers.

[Kennah]

82. Never too late. The accused can always cut a deal up until it goes to the jury.

Flipping the weakest one, which is usually the prosecutor's strategy, causes others to flip.

[Major Nikon]

75. Welcome to the find out phase

[truthisfreedom]

76. And every day he watches the sand slip between the toes

Of his only hope, the soon to be incarcerated showbloat Mr John Drumpf.

[Midnight Writer]

79. There is a reason they are called "useful idiots".

They are the ones caught holding the bag, while their consigliere live in mansions with gold toilets.

[The Grand Illuminist]

80. He was levying war.

And should face constitutional treason charges.
