Are you sitting down? You’ll want to take a seat because this is a real doozy, that you probably won’t believe. It turns out that US prosecutors are finally going after Antifa.
That’s right, they’re actually trying to break up US Antifa cells, using “conspiracy felony charges” against the group, and as of right now, they’ve rounded up 11 Antifa members and charged all of them.
Shocking, right?
Western Journal reported that in California, of all places, the realities of Antifa — the fact that it exists and that its members are indiscriminate hooligans — are coming home to roost. For the first time, a U.S. prosecutor is trying to break up a group of Antifa cells with felony conspiracy and assault charges.
According to a Newsweek writeup by Antifa chronicler Andy Ngô, the San Diego County district attorney’s office has charged 11 alleged Antifa rioters on charges of beating up supporters of former President Donald Trump — along with other random individuals who happened to be in the vicinity — during a Jan. 9 fracas in Pacific Beach, California.
Search and arrest warrants for eight of the suspects were issued last week in Los Angeles and San Diego counties. Law enforcement seized guns and ammunition during the searches, in addition to body armor and drugs.
The Antifa groups gathered to confront individuals protesting Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, with the counterprotesters carrying “shields, banners and signs displaying the Antifa logo,” according to Ngô. The criminal complaint said they used social media to call for action against those attending the Trump rally in the days beforehand.
“ANTIFA is known to use force, fear, and violence to further their own interests and to suppress the interests of others,” the complaint read.
“This tactic is referred to as ‘Direct Action’ and is known to mean acts of violence such as assault, battery, assault with deadly weapons, arson, and vandalism. The alleged object of this conspiracy was to incite and participate in a riot using direct action tactics.”
“The Antifa-affiliated group surrounded several minors who they believed to be attending the Patriot March, sprayed them with mace, and chased them up the boardwalk, shoving one of the minors to the ground. The minor was surrounded and beaten resulting in the minor victim being taken to the hospital to be treated for a concussion.”
It wasn’t just the pro-Trump protesters who suffered Antifa’s wrath, either. Local photographer John Cocozza said he was attacked by members of the left-wing mob.
The left continues to maintain that Antifa isn’t “real.” This is the same message that came from buffoon Joe Biden, who claimed that Antifa is an “idea,” not an actual organization.
I guess Joe should tell that to the people who’ve had their heads beaten in with pipes and soup cans.
