A California judge declined to drop felony charges against a middle school teacher-turned-Antifa leader and two other activists despite lawyers claiming the charges were part of a witch hunt against the educator.
Yvette Felarca, 47, the leader and spokesperson for the anti-fascist group By Any Means Necessary and a middle school teacher in Berkeley, was accused of inciting and participating in a riot in 2016 between white nationalist groups and counter-protesters.
The skirmish broke out at the state Capitol in June 2016 when more than 300 counter-protesters confronted about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party, which has been called a white nationalist group.
The assault charge was filed after a video captured her hitting Nigel Walker, a member of the Traditionalist Worker Party, and calling a man a Nazi before repeatedly punching him in the stomach while shouting get the f--- off our streets, the Daily Californian reported.
Felarca, whose name in public records appears as Yvonne Capistrano Felarca, was taken into custody in July 2017 on the charges stemming from the violent brawl. Felarca was also injured in the melee after being stabbed and requiring stitches.

I think the judges decision was politically motivated; I dont think it was valid, Shanta Driver, Felarcas lawyer, said. Wow! That lawyer is bucking for a contempt charge.

What I’m seeing is she threw the first punch and lit the fuse and is upset she got caught in the blast.
Forgive my complete lack of sympathy.
To: jazusamo
What, are her lawyers claiming she wasn’t there?

And when she's found guilty of these felonies will she be fired from her teaching job?

A group naming itself “By Any Means Necessary” is boasting of its criminality!
