Proud Boys leader released after arrest for burning BLM flag

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group has been released after his arrest on suspicion of burning a Black Lives Matter flag last month.

Enrique Tarrio faces destruction of property charges. On Tuesday, a judge ordered him to stay out of Washington.

He has reportedly admitted torching a banner taken from a black church during a rally in December in the city.

The 36-year-old was also found during his arrest to be in unlawful possession of two devices that allow guns to hold additional bullets, a source told CBS News.

"Let's make this simple", he said. "I did it".

But he maintained he did not know the Asbury United Methodist Church, where the flag had reportedly flown, was predominantly attended by African American worshippers.

Mr Tarrio also said Proud Boy members have had their flags and hats stolen in past demonstrations without anyone being arrested for those alleged incidents.
