A member of the Proud Boys has disappeared ahead of his sentencing on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to an arrest warrant unsealed on Friday.
Christopher Worrell was convicted earlier this year on seven counts related to his conduct during the insurrection, including assaulting a group of Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and lying to investigators.
He was set to be sentenced on Friday, with prosecutors seeking 14 years in prison. However, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on Tuesday, and his sentencing hearing was cancelled on Wednesday, court records show.
Disappears huh? What a friendly word.
Would you prefer “jumps bail”, 'skips town", “runs and hides”, “flees justice”, or “goes on the lam”?
Bravely runs away away?
Brave brave brave brave sir robin
Hmm, I pick “Goes on the lam”. Feels like I haven’t heard that one in a while!
That sounds too cool. Runs away like a little Nazi piss boy, is more his speed.
Suspected Proud boys leader, loses pride to face suspected charges of storming the capital. As fears mounted that he might actually go to prison.
R.U.N.N.O.F.T
I say that all the time and nobody ever gets it. It’s so nice to see another fan of the Soggy Bottom Boys.
I nicked the census man.
ar yu en en oh ef TAY!
Honestly, yes. Usually saying someone “disappeared” when referring to someone arrested for a political crime implies they were “dealt with”.
They don’t disappear, they fall out a window or get suicided in the back of the head twice. What kind of message does “disappeared” send?
You never heard of someone getting “disappeared”? When someone “disappears” it’s not because they ran off, it’s because someone took them.
The message is usually “this guy was causing headaches and now he’s not, so stop asking questions”
Calling it now: he dies in a gunfight with the feds.
Now now. He could die a grisly death due to exposure or wild animal attack when he attempts to go off grid to hide.
Meh, no real loss.
Think of that poor animal eating that bag of shit though! Poor thing would get sick for sure.
Yeah, typically if an animal kills a human it has to euthanized.
Hoping it’s exposure with a few curious nibbles.
I think he’ll surface in Saint Petersburg alongside Steven Seagal. It will be a test run for extracting you-know-who when the time comes.
Isn’t that where America’s greatest patriots end up? /s
Only the most patriotic senators spent the 4th of July in Moscow in 2018.
💀
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Build a public restroom on the remains.
No, he kills himself with some privileged sob martyr story.
Smart money’s on “found auto-asphyxiated” if the GOP playbook is any indication
Cause of death : Deceased shot himself twice behind the head with a silenced weapon after accidentally falling out of 17th floor window.

Just like that terrorist Ashii Babbit
He’s an immigrant in Mexico by now
Why would you release someone convicted of a violent crime pending sentencing? I thought it was standard to keep such a person in detention, and include time served in the calculation of how much more time they need to spend.
Oh wait, people with radically insane right wing politics get a pass, I forgot.
From the government’s perspective? There is often value in releasing the person. They almost never realize their phone lines are tapped and the first thing they do is run to their friends and start incriminating them further.
There is often the issue that these right wing cells are without their knowledge governmental “stay behind” cells who are operating somewhat under the jurisdiction of factions of the US government who are legally barred from operating clandestine missions on US borders.
In terms of the Proud Boys, their leader is a journalist who was officially on the Canadian pay roll before they became a fascist paramilitary leader. Seeing that immigrants who are members of political extremist groups are barred from having permanent residence in the US, while registered spies are not. These are things we have to speculate on, unfortunately.

The US military, CIA, and NSA are all officially forbidden from such operations inside the US, or targeting US citizens. Officially.

It all has to do with evaluating flight risk, with his lawyers asserting a reasonable belief to the judge that he’s not one (prosecutors likewise can make their own recommendations). Bail can be denied, but from what I understand from legal podcasts, most cases have release conditions.
The fact that he skipped town means his lawyer might get in some trouble, but it almost certainly means this guy is royally fucked when they find him. It doesn’t look good to juries when you run away.

Apparently he had an injury that wasn’t being treated. Not saying he deserved to be released, but if our jails weren’t so fucked there’d have never been the appearance of a reason for the court to give him house arrest until sentencing, citing of civil rights abuse.
That said, they’ll find this guy quickly. These days being on the run from the feds when you’re publicly known is really impossible.
I have zero doubt that a fellow Proud Boy working in law enforcement or some other government department helped him escape.
There are a terrifying number of these clowns working within government as well as in the military and law enforcement and it seems like little is being done to weed them out.
Worse, they’ve been willfully infiltrating those jobs and recruiting within them. There needs to be nationwide police reform; the days where state-level policies and regulation was good enough are long past. Same for schools, healthcare, and insurance.
Worrell had been on house arrest in Florida since November 2021.
Well, apparently not. Good call with the “house arrest” there fellas.
Doesn’t really sound like he’s all that proud of what he’s done.
Doesn’t sound like he wants to face the consequences of what he’s done.
Following in the Orange Furor’s hoof steps.
Sounds like he’s done.
Hiding like a little boy though, so they got half of it right.
Not very proud now, is he?
Bravely ran away!
Womp womp wooommp ~
A cowardly conservative among the ranks of the ®acists? Say it ain’t so!
Welp, he’s going to spend even longer in prison now. What a dolt.
assuming he’s still in the country. bunches of countries that dont have extradition treaties with the US and they’re not all absolute shitholes either --> https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/non-extradition-countries/
He already surrendered his passport, so if he leaves the country, he’ll have to sneak into another.
Hopefully via an overcrowded boat in the Mediterranean that sinks and isn’t rescued because it’s filled with undesirable illegals
It’s almost like he is a cowardly piece of shit. Weird.
If he was stupid enough to participate in the January 6 insurrection, he’ll be stupid enough to get caught.
Additionally, if there’s ever a reward for turning him in, I’d fully expect that the least stupid of his associates is going to get a few bucks in their pocket, and a clean break from the shit show.
Is this the guy that was shoving dildos up his ass to prove he wasn’t gay?
I guess it’s a trick question, it’s all the Proud Boys who do that.
That’s Gavin something. He is the founder but I don’t think he is involved in the proud boys enough anymore to catch proper charges. He is either too Nazi or not Nazi enough for the current organization, I am not sure which.
They should be treating these terrorists like we treated members of ISIS, etc. Terrorists shouldn’t have the option of fleeing because they should be imprisoned ahead of the trial for this exact reason.
This is why you don’t handle TRAITORS with kid gloves and give them house arrest.
