onthedarkside Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Attorneys for the Proud Boys placed blame for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Donald Trump during closing arguments in the seditious conspiracy trial on Tuesday. An attorney for Enrique Tarrio said that federal prosecutors were trying to make the Proud Boys head a "scapegoat for Donald J. Trump and for those in power." A lawyer for Joe Biggs said that the defendants went to D.C. because their "commander-in-chief" told them it would "be wild," referencing Trump's infamous tweet on Dec. 19, 2020, that called on supporters to go to D.C. on Jan. 6. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/proud-boys-blame-trump-defendants-prepare-find-fate-sedition-trial-rcna81234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Credo Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'd say that nails it. Trump has a rally a mile from the Capitol on the day of certification, he riles up the crowd, tells them to march and they did. That said, they are still guilty as sin. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 That story about him grabbing the steering wheel because he wanted to go to the Capitol etc -- I don't buy it. I think he planted it and had them spread it around for face saving. Narcissism is a 24 hour/day job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're white supremacist gang groupies, hardly what most would consider grown men. Obviously they aren't individual free thinkers and like to take their direction from others.

These "boys" (or their lawyers) are now trying to blame Trump to try and get their sentences reduced. That's to be expected but that's all there is to this.

That's to be expected but that's all there is to this. No idea what your second comment means but it doesn't matter. Blaming Trump publicly won’t get their sentence reduced, it’s simply an example of the self pity and ‘always somebody else’s fault’ that characterizes the Alt-Right. They could however cooperate and provide testimony against their co-conspirators in their acts of sedition. With five convicted of the extremely serious crime of seditious conspiracy, the opportunities for a high stakes game of the ‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’ are clear and present.
