Prominent Jan. 6 defendants plan to march to Capitol to mark 5 years since attack

essentialsaltes · Jan 3, 2026

The former leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys and other defendants convicted for crimes connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol are set to return to Washington, D.C., for a march marking five years since the attack.

The event is billed as a memorial march honoring Ashli Babbitt and four others who died on or after Jan. 6. Babbitt, a supporter of President Trump's, was shot and killed by a U.S. Capitol Police officer while a mob attempted to breach the Speaker's Lobby outside the House chamber nearly five years ago.

Among those promoting the march is Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys who was convicted of charges including seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Also promoting the march is Guy Reffitt, who was a member of the far-right militia group the Texas Three Percenters. He was convicted of five charges stemming from the Capitol attack and sentenced to 87 months in prison before he was pardoned by Mr. Trump.

The march is set to begin at 11:45 a.m. at the Ellipse in front of the White House and end at the Capitol, according to Tarrio. The route follows the path that a mob of Mr. Trump's supporters took on Jan. 6 nearly five years ago.

I grieve what this nation has fallen to and find no humor in any of it.

Because the nation has riots? Or because people are picking and choosing which riots to be bent out of shape about based on political alignment?

The latter is probably bit more concerning, since that speaks to the psyche that public polling has reflected in the past 5-10 years showing that an increasing number of people in the younger generations are warming up to the idea of political violence.

I was pretty sad to see Moscow Mitch condemning it days afterwards but seem to forget all about it later on.

I think January 6th was not just another roit. It was an assault on our National security.

What newbies. You do those kinds of marches by night, with torchlight.

It was an assassination attempt, passed off as a riot after it failed.

It's an iteration in a pattern of escalation that started almost two decades ago.

As I'm sure everyone's noticed, these types of things tend to escalate and not de-escalate as people get desensitized to these sorts of things.

I remember back to when I was a youngster... I was in elementary school when the LA Riots happened. It was extremely shocking to most people as many had never seen anything like that, and it was talked about and was fresh in peoples' minds for the few years to follow.

In today's climate? Not sure if it would be front page news for more than a week or two.

To put it in more perspective.
The LA Riots resulted in $700 million in damages and was considered "a major deal" and almost everyone universally saw it as terrible

The rioting that occurred in 2020 over doubled those numbers (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic no less), and a substantial portion of the population downplayed it as not being a big deal.

Accompanied by authors writing books like this:

In Defense of Looting - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

...and a former CNN anchor famously getting on the air and saying "Show me where it says protesting has to be polite or peaceful?"

Both but especially the later.

So I am 71 and remember the 60’s, Nixon, biet Nam, JFK and all since then. I know I was naive like most but Things seem worse now than with any other president. I do think social media has a lot to do with it. It engenders bubbles rather than dialogue .

But I have been learning more about Henry Kissenger. He & Nixon basically tore Chile apart without leaving fingerprints.

But one has to separate cause and effect.

While there certainly could be legitimate provocation of violence, people getting violent because they're mad about someone doesn't automatically mean that someone is to blame for being "divisive".

For example, there was a sharp uptick in political threats and discontent when Obama was in office, but people being mad about him isn't the same as him doing something wrong.

In Trump's case, I think it's a little bit of both. He certainly does some things as president that most reasonable people would find to be angering and off-putting. On the flip side, there were people screaming in the streets, throwing temper tantrums, and yelling "fascist" on his inauguration day back during his first term before he had a chance to even do anything.

Well it seems the American public has the emotional maturity of adolescence. It doesn’t take much by anyone to ignore uncontrollable anger.

Apart from then Sen. Vance calling him "America's Hitler", most protests against him were not about fascism but women in pint kitty-cat hats protesting his long, unapologetic ....attitude towards women and open disdain for minority and women's rights.

Protests against his increasing presidential overreach and unitary executive power has ratcheted up because of his own actions, including his disregard for laws and regulations.
