Proud Boy-Zachary Rehl: 'I'm done peddling lies for other people who don't care about me'

[kpete]

Two leaders of the Proud Boys were sentenced to lengthy prison terms on Thursday for their roles in the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a top lieutenant in the far-right group, Joseph Biggs, given 17 years, and another key figure in the attack, Zachary Rehl, getting 15 years.

................

Racked by sobs, Mr. Rehl apologized to his friends and family — and even the prosecution team — telling Judge Kelly he believed the “lies about the election” spread by politicians.

“I’m done peddling lies for other people who don’t care about me,” he said.

Mr. Biggs also wept when he addressed the court, saying that he had turned to drinking — a favorite Proud Boy pastime — after coming back from combat overseas and that the only group he wanted to be affiliated with these days is “my daughter’s P.T.A.”

[Takket]

8. you betrayed your country. Fuck you.

"the only group he wanted to be affiliated with these days is “my daughter’s P.T.A."

Then I'm even happier he's going to prison because he would be one of the people threatening teachers for talking about social issues and demanding "CRT" and slavery studies be banned because they make white kids haves a sad.

[Generic Brad]

9. And we're supposed to feel bad for him because? Why?

He wants to drop off his daughter at her school? He wants to hang with the P.T.A?

He tried to steal an election so he could rise to power and lord over us but he failed and got caught. Boo-f'n-hoo.

[Hekate]

22. Check closely for whom you're peddling lies, Zach

Get a few references about whether they care for you or not. You know, so that you don't look like quite such a fool next time. If only some people had warned you that you were being used by people who don't care about you.
