Texas man sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for attacking US Marshal during Portland Antifa riot

Jacob Michael Gaines, 24, was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for brutally attacking a Deputy US Marshal with a hammer during a 2020 riot in Portland, Oregon.

Gaines, a Texas man that crossed state lines to participate in a riot perpetrated by Antifa militants last July, pleaded guilty in September to assault with a deadly weapon.

Scott Erik Asphaug, the Acting US Attorney for the District of Oregon, announced the sentencing in a press release on Monday and said that Gaines' actions that night could have killed the Deputy US Marshal.

"Mr. Gaines' actions in July 2020 were intentional, dangerous, and could have severely injured or killed the Deputy US Marshal who confronted him. His assault on a federal officer justifies the lengthy prison sentence imposed today," Asphaug said.

Gaines has been held in custody since his arrest on July 11, 2020, the night of the incident.

In addition to the 46 month sentence, Jacob Michael Gaines will be under three years of supervised release.

Looked it up on the DeWalt website and it looks like a 2-1/2 lb blacksmith hammer.

And after his sentence is served, does Texas get the right to deport him?

Was Neanderthug in Portland to support antifa or fight against them? That he was prosecuted suggests the latter, but it seems to be outside the realm of journalism to tell us.

You can’t protest upside someone’s head with a hammer?

That is a cross or flat peen hammer. Definitely can crack someones skull with that.

Agreed on the hammer style.

If you look at old melee weapons it has way too much weight in the head to be a preferred type. Too slow and cumbersome in a real fight.

But it can still deliver a nasty hit, and most opponents do not know how to defend against one these days.
