This past June, masked thugs organized under the banner of anti-fascism, or "antifa," and beat up conservative journalist Andy Ngo and others in Portland, Ore. In one particularly gruesome attack, local conservative Adam Kelly got his head busted open with a baton. He suffered a concussion and needed 25 staples to close the wounds. Gage Halupowski, the 24-year-old man who pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in the attack, was sentenced to 70 months (5.83 years) in prison on Friday.

"Antifa militant Gage Halupowski sentenced to nearly 6 years in prison for striking a man on head from behind w/a baton during riot," Ngo tweeted, sharing the breaking news Friday evening.

No doubt!

[Keyhopper]

My name is Ben Dover.
I’m in for homosexual rape and murder.
What are you in for?

[gundog]

Sounds like he ran up against Measure 11, and a minimum mandatory sentence. Otherwise....

[Big Red Badger]

Adios,
Muchacho.

[gundog]

Minimum mandatory sentence.

[txnativegop]

Yes it is.

However, this thug will gladly go to prison because he believes he will be a hero.

Sadly, there are many on the Left who will think of this thug AS A HERO.

More proof that liberalism is insanity.

[JudgemAll]

NOw , where did I see this political look of narcissitic self righteousness,...

[Rembrandt]

It would be worthwhile to find out where he gets money from. He may enjoy beating people up but he is probably being paid to beat up targeted individual A. The money trail just might lead back to some interesting names.

[Midwesterner53]

Now sue his parents for all you can get.

[NFHale]

Justice?

No, justice for these commie human slugs is a .45ACP through the face.

[TChad]

Why did he get more than three years probation like Eric Clanton?

I suspect that a leftist Berkeley judge might have had a lot to do with Clanton's absurdly lenient sentence.

[The Mayor]

Need more of this, it’s called Justice under the Law

[patriotfury]

Personally I would call a bat swing to the head attempted murder, period.

These atifa sentences are a rediculous koke, all over the country.

Most of times are just receiving warnings or fines.

[Viking2002]

Well, ladies, this is what you birth when you drink or do drugs during pregnancy.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Finally.

[nutmeg]

Good news, although I wish this Antifa thug got more like 10-15 years. He could’ve killed these conservatives. Plus I believe he assaulted one or more police officers.

[5th MEB]

OH YEAH; the hardened older cons are just going to love introducing this baby faced piece to the joint.

First thing they will have him do is grow out his mustache and goatee beard, cause as they would say “YOU SURE DO GOT A PRETTY MOUTH BOY”.

The feds can, and should charge this thug under the civil rights laws, collectively known as the "KKK Laws." It is not double jeopardy to try him for civil rights violations and this conviction. I know what the Constitution says, but the Feds have a way to bring charges, against this thus under:

18 U.S. Code § 241, "Conspiracy Against Rights"

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

To me, this seems like justice. It would send a powerful deterrent message to the rest of the anarchists/Maoists/Communists.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

OK. Now when is the hanging?
