convictions for seditious conspiracy

[pjmret]

Four members of the far-right Proud Boys have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy by a jury in Washington, DC, for their roles to forcibly prevent the peaceful transfer of power from then-President Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 election.


Proud Boys were 'Donald Trump's army,' prosecutor says in closing arguments of seditious conspiracy trial
Defendants Enrique Tarrio – the Proud Boys longtime chairman – Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola faced a range of charges, including three separate conspiracy charges, obstructing the Electoral College vote and tampering with evidence.

The guilty verdict marks the third time that prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy in the Justice Department’s historic prosecution of those who breached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.


I guess "just a protest", "sightseeing" and "mainly peaceful" didn't sway the jurors.

right wing morons who whined that they weren't armed enough to conquer the country so it wasn't a big deal are shown, once more, to be morons

"Former Proud Boys national chair Enrique Tarrio — the man prosecutors have portrayed as the ringleader of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — told jurors Tuesday that he’s merely a scapegoat for the real culprit: Donald Trump."

There is no reason to ever mention the BLM again.
What sort of nut cases are these people who voluntarily appoint themselves as guardians of democracy by supporting a fascist takeover?

The whole episode smells of the stupidity of the Trump regime and extends to the garden variety of the millions who followed the pied piper of fascism. Don't forget they elected him and now want him re instated to MAGA??? How does that work?
