You were as surprised as I was... [NYPost] Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio previously worked as a “prolific” undercover informant for local and federal law enforcement — leading to the prosecution of more than a dozen people, according to a new report. Tarrio, 36, began cooperating with authorities following his 2012 arrest on fraud charges in cases involving drugs, gambling and human smuggling, Reuters reported Wednesday. Details of Tarrio’s secret work were lodged in a transcript from a 2014 court proceeding in Miami and obtained by the outlet. More at the link |

| #12 Those guys will be punching ANTIFA in the face as part of some group. It’s in their DNA. |

| #11 That's's the thing, most were careful. Tarrio didn't start out as an informant to the best of my knowledge, but the rumblings did seem to start in around 2017-2018. |

| #10 I don’t think the people who were in PB have been neutralized. They will form another group and be more careful about leadership. |

| #9 ^ #4 Just because the PB have been neutralized doesn't mean there isn't a groundswell of dissatisfaction amongst the public. People know the government lies a lot. Trust in science, medicine, and even local officials is at an all time low. More protests will occur. Hopefully the peaceful protests by the right are well attended. |

| #8 I guess this really backs Trump into a corner. I can’t see how, but the scary music in the soundtrack of this narrative is increasing in intensity so my nerves are now on edge. I guess I should nap in my cubicle during lunch. |

| #5 "remains a force in mainstream Republican circles" As a long-time observer/consumer of the old Soviet media, it's stunning to see how western media has collapsed into the ridiculous propaganda cartoon it has become. And catastrophic for the real world, of course. |

| #4 Yeah - that arrest of Tarrio just days before a 2018 confrontation in Portland by US Marshalls pretty much looks like a planned op in which Tarrio participated. We should not forget, destroying the Proud Boys was an early campaing promise made by Biden during the debates. This "verdict" will conclude that destruction. |
