Two more leaders of Proud Boys, the agent- provocateur fake-right group started by noted leftist bohemian Gavin McInnes, have been arrested for participating in the January 6 Capitol protest.
Notably, one was on record boasting that he would attend the rally unrecognizable as a Proud Boy and blending in with Antifa, according to police.
Prosecutors also describe in the complaint how Proud Boy organizers—including the organization’s leader, Enrique Tarrio, encouraged their members to attend the insurrection at the Capitol in the days leading up to it.
In one Dec. 29 message, Biggs wrote on Parler, “We will not be attending DC in colors. We will be blending in as one of you. You won’t see us. You’ll even think we are you…We are going to smell like you, move like you, and look like you.”
“The only thing we’ll do that’s us is think like us! Jan 6th is gonna be epic,” Biggs continued, according to the complaint, which notes that authorities understood he was speaking directly to “antifa.”
Tarrio was arrested on Jan. 4, two days before the riots. Several other extremists have been arrested for their roles in planning and participating in the riots, including Dominic “Spazzo” Pezzola, a Proud Boys member who allegedly smashed a window at the Capitol with a police shield, and an apparent leader of the Oath Keepers.
