The satirical post and doctored photo above illustrate a specific point. If a Proud Boy was on the Capitol building tour and pulled a fire alarm during a contentious vote interrupting the voting process, he would face jail time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t a single person reading this who can reasonably disagree.
