How Proud?

Not proud enough to hold out against the Feds.
A Proud Boys member who federal prosecutors said "played a substantial role in the breach of the Capitol" on Jan. 6 pleaded guilty Wednesday to felony conspiracy and obstruction charges.

The man, Matthew Greene, of Syracuse, New York, admitted to plotting with other members of the far-right group to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. As part of his plea, Greene, an Army National Guard veteran, agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

He is the first member of the extremist group, which describes itself as a "pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world," to plead guilty and cooperate in a Jan. 6-related case.

[...]

He also told another Proud Boys member in the days after the attack that they needed to be prepared to "do uncomfortable things."

Like squealing?
Greene is scheduled to be sentenced March 10. Under federal sentencing guidelines, he is likely to face over four years in prison, but prosecutors could ask for less time depending on his level of cooperation.
Hope he is arranging protection for himself.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
