Federal prosecutors are recommending the leader of a far-right nationalist gang labelled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center should spend three months in prison for burning a Black Lives Matter banner outside a Washington DC church and carrying high-capacity magazines into the city days before the Capitol riot.
In July, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio pleaded guilty to one count of destruction of property and another charge stemming from possessing two illegal magazines, both bearing the group’s gold insignia.
The city’s Metropolitan Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Mr Tarrio after he admitted to burning a Black Lives Matter flag outside Asbury United Methodist Church in December during a violent pro-Donald Trump rally in the streets.

They view one as a hate crime, and the other one as a freedom of speech sir Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth .

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - I got their freedom of speech when it comes to the American flag...they can file a complaint in the third stall on the provided paper...its on a roll and when they are done they can send it on to congress with the pull of one handle!
