Proud Boy Leaders Receive Lengthy Jail Sentences for Capitol Attack

Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boy who led the US Capitol riot by smashing his way into the complex with a police shield and filmed himself smoking a celebratory cigar, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was convicted of assaulting police and obstructing an official proceeding. Pezzola expressed some remorse during the sentencing, while his family described him as a "wonderful child" who never caused trouble. Another Proud Boy, Ethan Nordean, is set to be sentenced on a more serious charge of seditious conspiracy. Two other Proud Boys, Joe Biggs and Zachary Rehl, were sentenced to 17 and 15 years in prison respectively.
