Eight of eleven people indicted in connection with a 2021 Pacific Beach protest that turned violent received sentences Friday ranging from six months to two years in custody....Prosecutors contended the defendants converged on San Diego under the banner of antifa... and while clad in tactical gear proceeded to pepper spray, beat, throw objects at, and use Tasers on various people....The case was believed to be the first criminal conspiracy prosecution in the country against anti-fascist protesters...

They should have given any of them convicted of violence 20 yrs. Mobs full of violent goons shouldn’t be tolerated.

In custody

What the hell does that mean? It sounds short of prison, which is where they belong.

What is needed is a RICO prosecution of everybody who funds Antifa.

There should be both criminal and civil cases.

They should pay for every nickel of property damage.

I used to know people from the crowd of the occupy and anarchists, and what I assume morphed into antifa.

The last time I was around them, one main character had given up pot and was going straight in life, I wanted to ask him if I had any influence on that decision but I knew better than to say anything and was just happy to know someone that I thought was too far gone had actually been working over things inside his own mind, I had never noticed it, except that he would bother to argue with me in a fairly nice way whenever I was at their communal house.

Not enough, but as you say the judge named Antifa as an organized group. Which ironically is more fascist than not.

It’s amazing how these “anti-fascists” act exactly like the Nazi Brown Shirts (the SA) did in the 1920’s and early 30’s in Germany. And like the SA their masters like Soros Jr. will turn on them the minute the are no longer of any use or become more trouble than they are worth.

What a tortured article trying to portray them, so-called Antifa, as the victims.

“Sentences Handed Down for ‘Antifa’ Defendants in 2021 Pacific Beach Brawl with White Supremacists”

Considering that Antifa wasn’t following orders and instead chose to fight with the FBI (aka, ‘white supremacists’), so they’re being punished for just that. No surprise here.

People like Jeremy White are the brains behind antifa. They recruit and train drug addicts, cretins, and mentally ill people to do the actual violence. Just like Marxists.

Andy Ngo deserves a lot of credit for his reporting on Antifa and this case. Other news sites just pick up the reporting after Ngo has risked his life and spent years reporting on and following the group.

“ANDY NGO REPORTS: So Cal Antifa members all sentenced to prison or jail over 2021 San Diego attack”

https://thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-reports-so-cal-antifa-members-all-sentenced-to-prison-or-jail-over-2021-san-diego-attack

From the article:

“Judge Goldstein had originally expressed doubt if prosecutors could show that Antifa organize as a militant group but stated after seeing the evidence, “I don’t have any question that this organization exists.””
