CFP: DA charges San Diego, Los Angeles ‘Antifa’ groups with Felony Violence
SAN DIEGO — Prosecutors on Monday charged seven people, whom they described as ANTIFA, in connection with eight assaults that occurred in January during a Pacific Beach “Patriot March” by Trump supporters.
Those arraigned Monday in San Diego Superior Court were among a group arrested Thursday in raids by police officers and sheriff’s deputies across Southern California. Prosecutors allege the defendants “are self-identified to be affiliated with Anti-fascists or Antifa,” according to a criminal complaint, and began organizing themselves — with one group originating in San Diego and the other in Los Angeles — a week before the pro-Trump rally.
The case is believed to be one of the first to use conspiracy charges — in this case conspiracy to commit riot — to target alleged members of Antifa.
Several of the attacks detailed in the complaint appear to match incidents that were recorded and shared online, such as a video of Antifa pepper spraying a dog and its owner. Prosecutors allege that act was committed by Jeremy Jonathan White, 39, one of the defendants who remained jailed Monday in lieu of $200,000 bail. White faces charges of conspiracy, assault with a deadly weapon, use of tear gas not in self-defense and animal cruelty. more here
A proper application of justice requires clearing 4 different and distinct hurdles; An actual arrest, a court filing of charges by the D.A., a criminal conviction in court, and an appropriate harsh enough penalty-actual prison time that would deter future repeats. All of these must be satisfied. A conviction don’t mean dick if there is insufficient prison time.

Well no shit, that’s why we have conspiracy charges. They are figuring this out now?

George Soros still has some work to do. Watch for him to dump a shitload of money into the next DA race in San Diego.
Never fear the DOJ and FBI will swoop in take over the case(s) and then drop all charges and indict the arresting officers for civil rights violations.
