Arresting a protest leader before a protest on some random, unrelated charge, as an excuse to hold them while the protest happens, is a classic third world move.
Unfortunately, we now live in a classically third world country.
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested in Washington, DC on Monday, ahead of the major Stop the Steal anti-election fraud rally scheduled in DC for Wednesday. Tarrio, like many, was already in DC in preparation for the demonstration.
The stated reason for the arrest was that he vandalized a Black Lives Matter flag in DC.

When is the execution? What method, stoning, burned at-the-stake?

When the Pharisees wanted to stone a whore to death, Christ told them, "Those of you who are without sin, let them cast the first stone." ;)

I guess if he had looted the church, it would have made it okay. And well,l I suppose taking the flag from the church would constitute "looting", so he could have a pass there, maybe.
