Proud Boys leader sentenced to jailtime for burning BLM flag
Proud Boys stole the Black Lives Matter banner off of Asbury United Methodist Church before setting it ablaze

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to more than five months in jail Monday for tearing a Black Lives Matter banner down from a historic Black church and setting it ablaze.

"What I did was wrong," Tarrio told the court in a video conference hearing, noting that he was "profusely" sorry for actions he considered a "grave mistake," according to the Associated Press.

Police say members of the Proud Boys stole the Black Lives Matter banner off of Asbury United Methodist Church on Dec. 12 before dousing it with lighter fluid and setting it on fire. Tarrio posted a picture of himself holding an unlit lighter to the banner on social media, admitting later to The Washington Post that he had participated in setting it on fire.

PROUD BOYS LEADER WAS INFORMER FOR FEDERAL, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT: REPORT

The church's senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Ianther Mills, told the judge that Tarrio's actions were "act of intimidation and racism" that caused "immeasurable and possibly irreparable harm" to the community.

"His careless act of violence and hatred, targeted at a congregation of individuals with a lived history of social and racial injustice, had the presumably desired effect," Mills said. "Asbury was forced to reckon with the very tangible evidence that we continue to live in a world where people radicalize hate based upon race and skin color."

Police arrested Tarrio on Jan. 4 as he arrived in Washington, D.C., two days ahead of former President Donald Trump's rally, with many who attended that rally later participating in the storming of U.S. Capitol building immediately afterward.

Police pulled Tarrio over on the warrant for vandalizing the Black Lives Matter sign, finding two unloaded magazines emblazoned with the Proud Boys logo in the car. Tarrio told police that he sells the magazines and he was dropping them off to a customer who had already paid for him.

Tarrio pleaded guilty last month to destruction of property and attempted possession of a large-capacity ammunition-feeding device.

So it's ok to burn the American flag but not a BLM flag, this is so wrong.

you can rush CVS and steal thousands of dollars, you can burn the American flag,  you harass people in their home that you don't agree with and you burn private and public property......and never get arrested. Steal a 15.00 BLM flag and get 5 months.

Kamala likes to help criminals get out of jail.  Maybe she could help him?  Oops...he's the wrong shade.  Nevermind.

Trumpism is a metastasized cancer on our republic. President Biden has the fortitude to make the tough decisions to start cutting it out of the fiber of our country. Thank Jesus.

The flaming of BLM flags didn't garner him any jail time; but having high-cap magazines in his possession in DC got him 5 months.

Gotta love the seriously misleading media headlines....

I agree, but he still stole private property. It would suit me if somebody burned all the BLM flags, but do it legally.

People are not arrested for stealing items from store shelves, but don't dare take a BLM flag.

I totally agree with the "selective justice" going on, but knowing that, why would any rational person put themselves in the position of getting arrested over a $5.00 BLM flag.
Go buy one, and set it on fire.
