Proud Boys Leader Released From Jail After 4 Months

USA Today reports:

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio was released from jail in Washington, D.C., Friday morning after serving four months and a week for setting fire to a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic African American church in the nation’s capital.

Tarrio has called himself the “chairman” of the Proud Boys extremist group, a white supremacist-adjacent gang notorious for street fighting and property damage.
