It has been more than two months since two United States Marines said they were assaulted in Philadelphia by a “mob” just blocks from the controversial We the People Rally, and now a third man has been charged in the attack.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office has charged 37-year-old Washington, D.C., resident Joseph Alcoff with aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, and conspiracy — all felonies — among other charges. He has pleaded not guilty and is currently out on bail.
Alcoff joins codefendants Tom Keenan and Thomas Massey in the case. Both Keenan and Massey were arrested at the end of November and are also out on bail awaiting trial.
The incident occurred on the afternoon of November 17th.
According to court documents, Marines Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, who were not in uniform, were approached by a group of 10 to 12 activists on the 100 block of South Front Street in the Old City section of Philadelphia.
Investigators say that the activists, who have been linked to the antifa movement in blog posts, news accounts, and in courtroom testimony, had been counter-protesting at the We the People rally.
At a preliminary hearing for Massey and Keenan in December, the two Marines testified that the activists attacked them, allegedly calling them “nazis” and “white supremacists,” using ethnic slurs against them (both Marines are Hispanic), punching and kicking them repeatedly, and macing them.
On the stand in December, the Marines testified that they had no knowledge of the We the People rally and that they were in town for a Marine ball at a nearby hotel.

What the heck is “ethnic intimidation” ? where the victim is neither white or black ?

That’s already been reduced to “ethnic intimidation”. (And yes, they do make this sh*t up as they go along.)
I think with Mueller and his band of Clintoon shysters getting ready to close up shop, it would be nice to see the FBI SWAT guys switch their focus and early morning raids from innocent conservative Americans to these Aunt Teefah fascists. The FBI could start working at getting their reputations back.
Sounds like your typical “hate” crime.
Democrats.
Marines Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres... testified that the activists attacked them, allegedly calling them “nazis” and “white supremacists,” using ethnic slurs against them (both Marines are Hispanic), punching and kicking them repeatedly, and macing them.
Three (or more) antifa types attack two Marines...I’m surprised the antifa types did not end up dead or hospitalized.
More likely an invitation from the dnc to run for president.
10-12 Antifa pukes against 2 marines?
I make no further comments, but I would not like to be identified as attacking Marines in a bar with a few Marines.
Antifa may play tough guy, Marines are the real McCoy.
Feral liberals gonna feral.
“Marines Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres... testified that the activists attacked them, allegedly calling them “nazis” and “white supremacists,” using ethnic slurs against them (both Marines are Hispanic), punching and kicking them repeatedly, and macing them.”
This is the civil war. The Leftists are looking for targets and there really aren’t any. Civil wars are traditionally about taking territory. Nobody wants territory in this war. They want power. But, how to get it? This is too much testosterone with no focus for their energy.
Not likely !
The "Aunt Teefah fascists" are the enforcement arm of the DNC.
Another democrat party thug.
ANTIFA can’t fight
And what do the GOPee do? They hide in the corner hoping no one sees them.
yep, in bed with dims
