Eight convicted rioters were sentenced to varying prison and jail terms last week for their role in a So Cal Antifa attack in southern California in 2021. The sentencing in San Diego Superior Court on June 28 brought the conclusion to more than three years of investigations, a secret indictment, plea deals, and a dramatic trial. This marks the first time in U.S. history that prosecutors have broken up an Antifa cell with a string of multiple convictions. In fact, all 12 defendants related to the case were convicted.
Judge Daniel Goldstein later responded: "Mr. Briggs, your client is unapologetic and he labels people without knowing them." The judge chastised White for suppressing the First Amendment rights of others through the use of violence. The judge said he would have found White guilty of the assault charge of which he was acquitted by the jury.
Judge Daniel Goldstein sent all remaining So Cal Antifa convicts to prison or jail. He originally doubted if prosecutors could show Antifa organize as a group but stated after seeing the evidence: "I don't have any question that this organization exists."
Aso-calledPatriot March was taking place on Jan. 9, just days after theinsurrectionriot at the Capitol.
Prosecutors say the group Antifa, which are self-described “anti fascists," showed up with pepper spray, baseball bats and tasers, causing injuries to several people there.
I don’t know for any minute that the Trump supporters were offensive to the defendants and others in Pacific Beach that day,” the judge presiding over Friday’s sentencing said. “But that’s the nature of political speech. That does not mean that individuals with offensive speech cannot assemble, congregate and protest — ANTIFA could have done that.”

Antifa is hard to keep track of. You need crocodile tears on facebook to make them appear. You need something that will perturb their liberal suburban minds first. You need rallying Trump supporters.
Most of these asses weren't even from here. They sought out a fight. It happened in Pacific Beach at a patriotic rally on Jan 9th, 2001. They were starting sh*t with Jan 6th supporters. They don't have the guts to go after an East County White Nationalist rally, I imagine.

They are exactly as angry and prejudice as neonazis, only like sanctimonious religious people in that they think their violence and anger to beat Republicans with baseball bats is more justified because it goes after the wicked.

But they didn't. So now they're off to State prison to seek protection from getting their asses kicked by The Aryan Brotherhood and reading the works of Wallace D. Fard Muhammad.

Thanks. I didn't catch it though. Others beat me.
Does it need a separate thread?

I think it would be a good and possibly a very big one because we can constantly add to it. It could go on and really help us all see the impact that a new direction, new leadership has on our lives and globally. I feel that there is a social shift coming, from DEI to transgenderism to the border and deportation. Economically, we will once again see the impact of cutting senseless regulation, cutting taxes and laying heavy tarriffs on countries like China who still have "developing nation" status in regards to global trade. Cutting off countries from our market that do business with Iran. I don't agree with everything Trump says and does but his policies and leadership may be the spark to recalibrate the cultural revolution that is being shoved down our throats, closing the border and deporting the illegals and getting the cost and quality of living in this country back. So yes, I think it could be a huge thread if headlined in the right way. You got my support!
