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.

I didn't know Michael Moore had a son.

Acting US attorney Ass-Fog? Is this sourced from Babylon Bee?
Looked it up on the DeWalt website and it looks like a 2-1/2 lb blacksmith hammer.
well, i guess he’ll get the chance find out just how tough he really is now...
And after his sentence is served, does Texas get the right to deport him?
So he’ll be out next year...
And WHAT? Soros didn’t serve his sentence for him? LMAO
These idiot tools of the Left, will never figure out who
their real enemies are.
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.

4 lb. blacksmith hammer
I guess he didn’t get his hammer back, though, did he?
OMG! He crossed State lines? Not even adjoining States.
He’s really gonna he Thor after four years as someone’s wife.
i detect a slight lisp there... 😁...
I’m confused.
You can’t protest upside someone’s head with a hammer?
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.
He must be from Austin. Good riddance. We don’t need creeps like that breathing Texas air!
