No Pride

Enrique Tarrio, former (note former) leader of the Proud Boys, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for the January 6 attack on the Capitol.  He did not command any insurrectionists in the field of battle, he did not set foot in Washington on that day, he did not commit an acts of violence, and he did not get away with covering his rear end when a jury of his apparent peers found him guilty.  

In fact, he was not in Washington on January 6, 2021 because he had been arrested just a few days earlier for vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a Washington, D.C. church with a historically black congregation.

So maybe there's hope that Donald Trump can be incarcerated before he gets into the Oval Office again.

The sentence, though not as stiff as it could have been, was pretty severe just the same, and it was a sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly.  Kelly is a member of the conservative  Federalist Society, he was appointed by Donald Trump in 2017, and he was confirmed by a Republican-majority Senate on a fast track.  And even he wouldn't show Tarrio any leniency.

Could Trump get a similar sentence if convicted of insurrection?  Cross your fingers.
