Proud Boys leader sentenced to jailtime for burning BLM flag
Fox News
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to more than five months in jail Monday for the crime of burning a Black Lives Matter flag.
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. 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.More Related News
