Gage Halupowski pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in connection with the June 29 attack on Adam Kelly outside The Nines Hotel along Southwest Morrison Street. Halupowski was identified as one of several masked, black-clothed demonstrators seen on video hitting and pepper-spraying Kelly after he appeared to come to the aid of another man who’d been attacked during the protests, authorities said…
Defense attorney Edward Kroll said Halupowski made “a really terrible decision” and that Kelly didn’t deserve what happened to him, but the attorney believed the agreed-upon 70-month prison sentence was “one of the harshest sentences I’ve seen for someone with no criminal background and young age.”…
[Deputy District Attorney Melissa] Marrero disagreed with Kroll’s assertions, saying she felt the charges and sentence were appropriate based on the severity of Kelly’s injuries and Halupowski’s strike. She said first-degree assault, which carried a potential 90-month sentence, and riot charges were initially considered in the case…
Court documents show that a Portland police officer saw Halupowski hit Kelly, followed him and pointed him out to other officers who helped arrest him. He was accused of punching another officer in the arm while being taken into custody.

Attempted murder, and/or intent to maim SHOULD carry rather heavy penalties even for “first-time offenders”.

So have I in life and I paid like hell for them.
Welcome to the real world B.TCH.
The victim could have died. Hitting someone over the head with a club isn’t something you just do because you’re not thinking.
Have fun in Oregon State Pen, bitch. Sucks to be you.
I wonder how much time he’ll actually do.
Bet he’s out before you know it.
I’ll be watching this one.
He’ll get plenty of sex.
dumb Polak.
Thank You for sharing that!
Nice to see these Antifa Fascist PUKES getting what they DESERVE!
However, did ANYONE see this on ‘The Evening News?’
Yeah. I didn’t think so... *SPIT*
I’ll bet his ‘Baton’ sees a lot of action in the can....
Oh, so the Antifa were protesting, were they?
Protesting what?
Klantifa needs to be outlawed. They’re not exercising their 1st Amendment right to protest. They’re violent communist agitators.
Trump supporters walking around with their heads not broken.
You know what?
I’ve spent a VERY LIMITED amount of time in jail.
In my mid 20s.
It was Terrifying. I went straight and narrow (mostly!) after that.
This kid will AT LEAST be in there for 2 years. And in a PRISON, I’m assuming, not a jail.
He’ll be with REAL animals
And he’ll never be the same
Good
That should be sufficient time for him to experience the full spectrum of prison life.
“Oh, so the Antifa were protesting, were they? Protesting what?”
Civilization. Western Christian Civilization.
They’ll keep doing it until the civilized part of society loses its patience and replies with extreme prejudice.
His lawyer should have argued that the foreceps used at his birth brain damaged him.
The Evening News normally doesn't cover Engagement Announcements such as Greg's to the guy on the cell block with the most cigarettes.
Best wishes to the happy couple.
Examples of those could be the defendant's pre-attack statements showing premeditation, prior past acts of violence causing injury, etc. None of the stories I've read about this sentencing mention any of those, but the press and media are infamously clueless about legal details.
In any event, this heavy sentence should have at least some deterrent effect, and IMO the judge did the right thing.
