To date, the United States has charged at least 18 people who are believed to be associated or allied with the Proud Boys.

These guys are some of the 'patriots' Ivanka and Don. Jr. urged on. Remember when Trump told his Proud Boys to 'stand by'?

These pseudo tough guys will not do well in prison. They will have plenty of time to adapt to incarceration.

One thing that I have seen mentioned is: How many of these patriots are ex- military?

Any one out there know?

I read 20% were current or ex-military. In other words 80% of the 'patriots' never served. No doubt many are also chickenhawks who expect other people to fight wars they approve of.

They’ll flip like Angeli once the hard reality of prison sets in.

criminal conspiracy in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol last month that sought to keep then-President Donald Trump in power.

Yeah, but, ya know, the Democrats. A burning building in Portland is surely equal to a mob trying to keep a cult leader in power despite the Constitution.

Or something like that.

Prosecutors quote her on Nov. 17 as telling a recruit that if Biden was president, then "our Republic would be over. Then it is our duty as Americans to fight, kill and die for our rights.”

Well you fought and killed, but then were arrested and will now spend the rest of your life in jail. One would hope that would give you time to reflect on your actions and realize how incredibly misguided they were, but if any one of you "Proud Boys" had a shred of insight, you wouldn't have tried to storm the Capitol in the first place. So good riddance.
