“What would they do [if] 1 million patriots stormed the capital [sic] building. Shoot into the crowd? I think not,” the indictment says a Proud Boy wrote.
Tarrio, who has twice been ordered detained pending trial, faces a superseding indictment along with Enthan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola. Tarrio was previously chargedin a conspiracy case.
The indictment alleges that Tarrio was aware of discussions around a plan to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, and was involved in discussions about occupying buildings, including Capitol complex buildings.
Members of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization were previously indicted on seditious conspiracy charges, but this marks the first time the charges have been brought against members of the Proud Boys.
