Antifa perps charged with felony riot in San Diego attack

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

  1. 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.

    “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.”

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