Proud Boys leader held for burning Black Lives Matter flag
Tue, January 5, 2021, 1:23 AM EST·3 min read
 

The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group has been arrested in Washington DC on suspicion of burning a Black Lives Matter flag last month.

Enrique Tarrio faces misdemeanour destruction of property charges, police say.

He has reportedly admitted torching a banner taken from a black church during a rally in December in the city.

President Donald Trump has been urging supporters to gather in the capital this week for another demonstration.

How about that!?  A right wing burns a BLM flag and gets arrested.  Yet if BLM torches a city, and all it's flags, everyone looks away and calls it a "nonviolent demonstration"? :shrug:

On one hand, the flag did not belong to him. On the other, if he wanted to fight it in court he has a hugenormously valid Selective Prosecution argument he can make.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If someone goes to jail for burning a flag that was not his, why do we permit hundreds of vandals desecrating public property, toppling statues and blocking roadways?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

This divide is going to get much wider during the Biden administration.

I agree with you on both points you made. You don’t have the right to destroy someone else’s property but that should not just apply to one group

Political prosecutions belong in the third world.  Of course, Washington DC is as close to a third world country as you can find at this latitude:  Zero middle class, high crime, low trust, unreliable services.
