We already saw Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio be put away for one of the longest sentences yet in connection with the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. This took place despite the fact that Tarrio wasn’t even in Washington that day and phone and text records proved that he had been in touch with Capitol Hill police for more than a year prior to the riot. If the feds did that to “send a message” to the rest of the Proud Boys, it looks like the tactic was successful. This week another leader of the group, Charles Donohoe of North Carolina, entered a guilty plea and was given a significantly lighter sentence than Tarrio, though it still seems excessive in light of what he actually did. Donohoe was sentenced to more than three years in prison for his participation in the riot. (Associated Press)
