After his arrest on Capitol attack charges, Charles Donohoe assisted in the seditious conspiracy case that sent Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio to prison for 22 years.
A former high-ranking official for the Proud Boys who cooperated with federal authorities in a seditious conspiracy case against other members of the far-right organization was sentenced to 40 months in prison Tuesday for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Charles Donohoe, who the government described as “a trusted lieutenant" on former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio’s "leadership team,” pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding as well as to assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, including by throwing two water bottles at police while they were under assault by the mob. Authorities also said that Donohoe handled a stolen police shield on the grounds of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Donohue, who is no longer affiliated with the Proud Boys, has been held in federal prison since his arrest in March 2021, so the sentence is nearly the equivalent of time served. Several paragraphs describing Donohue’s cooperation with the government were redacted from public filings in the case.
“Functionally, you’re going to be leaving pretty soon,” Judge Timothy Kelly told Donohoe on Tuesday, praising him for how he has conducted himself since his arrest, but noting the seriousness of the underlying crime.

2.) THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER OF PROUD BOYS “Gavin McInnes” : Who is the founder of neo-fascist group Proud Boys and co-founder of Vice magazine? And his links to Scotland
The founder of the far-right hate group The Proud Boys has unlikely links to Scotland.
Before he moved into right-wing politics Gavin McInnes was best known for co-founding Vice magazine in 1994, along with Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi.
During his time at the magazine, which moved from Montreal to New York City, McInnes became a prominent figure in the hipster subculture. While playing a role with the magazine, he espoused racist and white supremacist views.
“I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life.''

..."Charles Donohoe, who the government described as “a trusted lieutenant" on former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio’s "leadership team,” pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding as well as to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, including by throwing two water bottles at police while they were under assault by the mob. Authorities also said that Donohoe handled a stolen police shield on the grounds of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Donohue, who is no longer affiliated with the Proud Boys, has been held in federal prison since his arrest in March 2021, so the sentence is nearly the equivalent of time served. Several paragraphs describing Donohue’s cooperation with the government were redacted from public filings in the case.
