4K video on the way as well.
Photos: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio turns himself in to DC jail to begin 155 day sentence after speaking with the media.
Uncut video still on the way.
4K video: Enrique Tarrio and a friend sung as they approached the DC jail and hugged.
"Hey, you all can back up now, the monkey show's over. The goddamn monkey show's over," his friend said to press, waving in their cameras.
Tarrio told him to stop it and entered the jail.
"I'm guilty of a crime, I admitted to that" said Tarrio earlier, while saying that he thinks he was over-sentenced (he filed an appeal of the sentence today).
Asked by @EricFlackTV if he has an apology for the church, he said "absolutely not. I already apologized to them once."
I asked Tarrio about the September 18 rally Proud Boys are expected to attend at the Capitol.
"That's all bullshit," he claimed in response. "... the Proud Boys will not be there."
"I haven't seen a single Proud Boy say they're actually going to go."
Here is the full 4K60FPS (nerdy way of saying: documentary makers, I'm the guy to license from) footage of Enrique Tarrio heading into jail tonight in DC after speaking to media.
He is expected to be released early 2022.
All footage available to license.
As a reminder, here is the original thread describing the looting and burning of the church banner that led to this sentence.
