It’s not a Trump sentencing or one of his inner circle, but it’s the best we’ve got so far...

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years in prison, longest sentence yet in Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Tarrio will be in his 60s before he tastes freedom again…

Boston Herald
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison for orchestrating his far-right extremist group’s attack on the U.S. Capitol in a failed bid to stop the transfer of presidential power after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Tarrio’s sentence is the longest so far among more than 1,100 Capitol riot cases, topping the 18-year sentences that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and one-time Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean both received after juries convicted them of seditious conspiracy and other charges. (snip) Rising to speak before the sentence was handed down, Tarrio pleaded for leniency, describing Jan. 6 as a “national embarrassment,” and apologizing to the police officers who defended the Capitol and the lawmakers who fled in fear. His voice cracked as he expressed remorse for letting down his family and vowed that he is done with politics.
Dude is a consummate douchebag...

Judge is listing off reasons why J6 was a historically terrible day for the country, and Tarrio's central role.
Sentencing guidelines are 27-33 years. Tarrio is 39 years old. — Greg Walters (@thegregwalters) September 5, 2023
He’s nothing but a domestic fucking terrorist...

“We need to make sure the consequences are abundantly clear to anyone who might be unhappy with the results of 2024, 2028, 2032 or any future election for as long as this case is remembered,” prosecutor Conor Mulroe said. “This was a calculated act of terrorism.” (snip) U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, agreed with prosecutors that the Proud Boys’ crimes could be punished as “terrorism” — increasing the recommended sentence under federal guidelines. But he ultimately sentenced the Proud Boys to prison terms shorter than what prosecutors were seeking. The backbone of the government’s case was hundreds of messages exchanged by Proud Boys in the days leading up to Jan. 6 that prosecutors say showed how the extremists saw themselves as revolutionaries and celebrated the Capitol attack, which sent lawmakers running into hiding. As Proud Boys swarmed the Capitol, Tarrio cheered them on from afar, writing on social media: “Do what must be done.” In a Proud Boys encrypted group chat later that day someone asked what they should do next. Tarrio responded: “Do it again.”
These alleged Proud Boys tried to usurp our democracy...
Newsweek
As Tarrio's sentence approached , several similarly MAGA-aligned users took to X, formerly Twitter , to express outrage , typified by a post from user Matt Wallace denouncing Tarrio's expected sentence as compared to those for other major crimes, inaccurately characterizing the Capitol riot as a simple protest. "TODAY, THE AMERICAN 'JUSTICE' SYSTEM IS DYING AS WE KNOW IT," the user wrote. "Enrique Tarrio Did Not Rape Children. He Did Not Rob A Store. He Did Not Attack An Officer. ALL OF THOSE THINGS GET MUCH LOWER SENTENCES!" "Enrique Tarrio wasn't even at the Capitol building on J6. This is ridiculous!" a user going by "Foxy's Crime Scenes" wrote. "The US has gone full Marxist."
Who’s going to lead them now… Better yet, who cares?
BBC
The former leader of the far-right Proud Boys group has told his sentencing hearing he is "ashamed" of his role in the US Capitol riot. An emotional Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, 39, told the court the storming of Congress on 6 January 2021 was "a national embarrassment". (snip) Before learning his fate at Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Tarrio apologised to the police and residents of Washington DC for the US Capitol riot. "I am extremely ashamed and disappointed that they were caused grief and suffering," he said. "I will have to live with that shame for the rest of my life." He also told the court: "I was my own worst enemy.
You got that right, mutherfucker... Rot in jail!
