Texas man, Proud Boys chapter founder plead guilty

The founder of the Hawaii Proud Boys chapter and a Texas man who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and took a photo in front of a door on which one of them had written “Murder the Media” each pleaded guilty Friday in federal court to a felony charge in connection with the riot.

Nicholas Ochs, founder of the farright extremist group’s Hawaii chapter and a onetime Republican state House candidate, and Nicholas Decarlo, of Fort Worth, Texas, admitted to obstructing the congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
