Proud Boys leader Henry Enrique Tarrio has some ideas of how hes going to spend his approximately five months in D.C.s Central Detention Facility. He hopes to re-read a book titled Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare.
In an interview with VICE News conducted six days before he booked himself into the jail on Monday evening, Tarrio said he liked that book in particular, written by an accused conspiracy theorist and Holocaust denier, because of its insights into how political movements work.
Hes also writing a book, titled American Warlord, which hell sell on an online marketplace affiliated with the Proud Boys.
If the implications of his chosen jail time activities arent clear, Tarrio plans to remain fully involved with the far-right movement hes helmed for almost three years, even while serving a sentence for stealing a Black Lives Matter banner from a historically Black church during a Proud Boys rally, and illegally possessing two high-capacity magazines in D.C. (Hours before surrendering to jail, Tarrios attorney filed an emergency appeal for a shorter sentence, accusing the judge of bias.)
