Court documents reviewed by The Post Millennial reveal new details about a Los Angeles Antifa member accused of leading a gang of violent comrades at a riot in San Diego where beachgoers and Trump supporters were beaten.

Brian Cortez Lightfoot, Jr., 26, of Los Angeles, faces the most serious charges related to a Jan. 9, 2021 Antifa riot in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Lightfoot was charged with 16 violent felonies last year when he and 10 other Antifa members were indicted by a San Diego County grand jury. So far, six Antifa defendants took plea deals over their role in the attack and are awaiting sentencing. Lightfoot is among the remaining five who face trial in March if they do not take plea deals before then.

I’m not sure. It’s a sad bitter irony that antifa claims to be anti fascist, but they themselves act like fascists.

This article is well-written with names, dates, victims, and the criminal charges listed for each act, along with testimony by witnessing police officers.

Andy Ngo has done an especially good job capturing video of their actions since 2020. That’s why ANTIFA has a price on his head.

Antifa are full blown criminals being paid by soros and his ilk to do their dirty work.

Time to arrest soros and anyone else funding them.

They act like communists, and communists and fascists are basically the same thing.

RE: Will the Court system let the defendants walk without punishment?
////////////////////
We’re dealing with a system filled with assorted Soros backed and Obama friendly types along with some Trump appointed ones.

Even handed fairness is long since dead. You spin the wheel of fortune and your future life depends on the pointer landing on one of these.

Before no fault insurance in Michigan I was falsely accused of “causing an accident” so the woman would get money. My lawyer said the woman whose car was hit by the true culprit “just sues everybody around to see who they can get money from. Happens every day.” I had trusted her to tell the truth in court because she saw it happen from her living room and even let me call the police from her landline phone. Changed to blaming me.

In court, the heavy set black woman finally got flustered about how I could have pushed her into the damaged car and admitted “Stop it. I don’t know. I’m always on so many drugs when I go out driving I don’t know what I’m doing. I hit the parked car. He didn’t do nothin’ to cause it.”

I won.
On the way out I looked out of the corner of my eye at the plaque over the next courtroom over. It had the name of a judge well known for being a black racist who made sure to get revenge against any white who appeared in his courtroom.
That’s how close I was to injustice that time.

the truth is they are not anti-facists, they are anti-capitalists and many just plan old anarchists.

The crime is over two years old and they’re still dangling a plea deal.

They are Bolshevik thugs who consider everyone who is not a communist to be a fascist. Send them to the gallows pole.

Antifa goons should be shot on sight.

Survivors should be shot again.

I wonder if this guy is related to Lori Lightfoot?

I wonder.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-met-chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoot-ohio-childhood-20190403-story.html

Many of Lori Lightfoot’s peers finished high school bound for full-time work. Those who did go to college stayed close by.

But Lightfoot went away to the University of Michigan.
Bobby Grizzard, longtime friend of Lori Lightfoot, in Massillon, Ohio.

...

During her freshman year at Michigan, Lightfoot’s older brother, Brian Lightfoot, was arrested for trying to rob a bank and shooting a security guard.

I read that same story, but I couldn’t find any other information on her brother, or this guy’s family.
