Sedition Charges For Proud Boys.
Sedition charges have been leveled against member of the ‘Proud Boys’ group in connection with the January 6th Riot at the Capitol. (NY Times)
“The sedition charges came in an amended indictment that was unsealed in Federal District Court in Washington. The men had already been charged in an earlier indictment filed in March with conspiring to obstruct the certification of the 2020 presidential election, which took place during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
The new indictment marked the second time a far-right group has been charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. In January, Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the far-right Oath Keepers militia, was arrested and charged along with 10 others with the same crime.

The Capitol Riot of January 6th was a seminole event in American Politics that will be studied and hashed out for decades to come. The Congressional inquiries now taking place continue to shed light on the events and the prominent roles that key players in the Government had in instigating the riot. The American people will now have to decide who is to blame and and what that means for the future of American Democracy.
