1. tragic nt

[Thekaspervote]

2. No honor among thieves?? Awhh too bad

[Enterstageleft]

3. OMG...I can't quit laughing...

I have no idea if this is true or not, but the thought of the shock waves going through the RW nutjobs is just hilarious.

I REALLY hope it is true. It could be the beginning of the end for white supremacy.

Sleep well, MF'ers!

8. It won't be the end

but they will be hiding under rocks for awhile.

[KentuckyWoman]

43. There is no "end".

Racism is absolutely ingrained in all of our institutions. We made the smallest bit of progress over my lifetime, but not enough. Not nearly enough.

These terror groups will still be bumping around in 100 years I think. New names, new faces, new politicians using them to keep us divided. It is not unique to the US, nor whites. The rich keep their riches by pitting us against each other. It is a ploy as old as humanity.

This said, watching these idiots eat their own is amusing.

4. Interestingly, my first reaction after hearing he was a snitch

was to wonder how many people of color he dishonestly "snitched" on.

[JHB]

14. Reasonable suspicion

[cwydro]

37. Why?

What difference does it make?

If he “snitched” on any of these traitors, no matter their color, I’m glad of it.

[Arne]

5. What is it that snitches get?

Wiches,
Bitches?
Pitches?
???

[Cirque du So-What]

9. They end up in ditches

or so I heard.

[barbtries]

27. with stitches.

i doubt he's the only one. the delicious thing about it is the way they'll all have trouble trusting each other from here on out.

[bottomofthehill]

36. Right on, when I grew up it was a common refrain

Snitches get stitches.

[Cirque du So-What]

6. 'Proud Boy Sharia Court?'

They apparently admire the authoritarian structure of a religion whose adherents they claim are their mortal enemies.

[Solly Mack]

7. What's not to believe? Criminals often inform on their competition.

One informant, allowed to continue their own criminal enterprise, will rat out the others.

Law enforcement get multiple arrests, look good, promotions made, and the show goes on.

As it seems was the case with Tarrio. Sounds like he got popped for one thing, then turned informant against others in exchange for whatever.

“He cooperated with local and federal law enforcement, to aid in the prosecution of those running other, separate criminal enterprises,” said Vanessa Singh Johannes in a statement, “ranging from running marijuana grow houses in Miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes.”

[Nevilledog]

11. He was conveniently arrested in DC 2 days before the siege. Not there on the 6th.

[Solly Mack]

12. Does put it into a new light.

Either way, I hope it all causes a lot of problems for Tarrio and the rest. The more that turn on each other the better.

I'd love to seem them all arrested.

[Nevilledog]

13. Agreed.

[A_Woman_from_MI]

31. That was my first thought

How convenient!

It must be causing discomfort and distrust - especially as they watch so many of their fellow fanatics arrested.

[gldstwmn]

35. This. This is the very first thing

I thought of.

[ProfessorGAC]

45. Whitey Bulger

He was ratting out the Italian mob in Boston to the FBI, so they let him continue running his own mob.
The Massachusetts state police were furious when they found out.

[Solly Mack]

46. Prime example. I thought of him too.

One of the more famous but it happens all the time. Wouldn't surprise me if Tarrio was doing it.

[riversedge]

10. such a deal!!

[JDC]

15. But they were fine knowing he was a convicted felon who stole 1.5 m in medical supplies

Diabetic supplies to be precise

[Cha]

16. Good on the FBI!!

[SheltieLover]

17. K&R!

[keithbvadu2]

18. Some are delighted with the news.

Some are delighted with the news.

Some of the Proud Boys want to replace him because he does not fit their idea of white supremacy.

They call him a 'negro'.

[Dawson Leery]

19. These are same people who cried because they could not get haircuts due to the shutdown.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. And if I were them (proud boys (I have to laugh at this title they gave themselves, it's

pathetic)), I'd worry about the other snitches still in their ranks, that they don't know about yet. I'm not worried, it's their own fault, being involved basically w/ a terrorist organization, and I hope the authorities catch everyone of the thugs that did mayhem, or worse in the last several years...rumors are that they were spearheading efforts to break into the Capitol. Thugs.

[dalton99a]

21. Let Paranoia Reign

[superpatriotman]

22. So brave

So proud.

[Marie Marie]

23. Hey idiots, maybe you should be a little more careful of who you choose to follow.

[CaptainTruth]

24. Sorry but, FUCK HIM.

[calimary]

40. That's all I've got, too, CaptainTruth.

FUCK HIM.

[orangecrush]

25. Going down!

[LudwigPastorius]

26. Act II, Scene 3 reprise, in which Enrique sings to his followers

Proud I'm a rat
You see, I'm proud I'm a rat
Believe me, as cool as I've seemed, guys
You've just been given a nasty surprise

While you've been stormin'
I've been informin'
Meanwhile, I was performin'
the part of a Skinheaaaaaad

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Some say he was just informing on pedophiles in the Deep State

Which leads to the question of how he had inside info on child traffic rings to offer the FBI.
Whatever group he ratted out, it was something he was intimately involved with. Idiots.

[Midnight Writer]

29. News Flash! Proud Boys are riddled with informants. Why wouldn't they be?

Do they think the Feds are afraid of their "beat in" initiation?

[onethatcares]

42. they'll have to come up with

another kind of proof of being the real deal. Like cutting their right thumbs off, or their noses to spite their faces...

[wnylib]

30. According to the linked article,

the crimes he snitched about were selling marijuana (which is legal in some states) and various scams. l'corather see him snitch about bigger crimes, like connections to politicians in the coup attempt or crimes committed against POC in the name of white supremacy.

[P-Nutt]

32. Who Do You Think Outed Him?

It was the Feds. They have splattered it all over the news. He wouldn't make it till sundown if they released him now. This is their ploy to get him to really rat them out. In exchange for a new life. Send him to prison and he gets gutted like a pig. Back on the street, can you say Jimmy Hoffa? He would be buried in pieces small enough to fit in a matchbox. The Feds just tightened the screws on him really tight. No way out but to squeal like a pig now. Nice touch.

[Nitram]

33. LOL! What a bummer!

Buyer's remorse is hitting many a Trump supporter these days as fantasies run their course to a natural dead end.

[lees1975]

34. I'm not surprised

The FBI has a long record of this kind of infiltration and it works most of the time.

[Javaman]

39. +1000

Exactly right

When those idiots attacked the capital, I said to my girlfriend, those morons are bites the toes of a giant. This won’t end well for them.

[Baked Potato]

38. Trump gone and things are moving fast.

[Wounded Bear]

41. Somehow, I am not at all surprised...

[11 Bravo]

44. To assuage their angst, let me just say, "Fuck ALL the way off, you paint-ball warrior asswipes!"
