ZitatThis past June, masked thugs organized under the banner of anti-fascism or "antifa" beat up conservative journalist Andy Ngo and others in Portland, Ore. In one particularly gruesome attack, local conservative Adam Kelly got his head busted open with a baton. He suffered a concussion and needed 25 staples to close the wounds. Gage Halupowski, the 24-year-old man who pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in the attack, was sentenced 70 months (5.83 years) in prison on Friday.
"Antifa militant Gage Halupowski sentenced to nearly 6 years in prison for striking a man on head from behind w/a baton during riot," Ngo tweeted, sharing the breaking news Friday evening. "He was masked at the time & assaulted an officer while trying to escape. His lawyer says sentence is too severe."
Too severe my gluteus maximus. Given the divisions and animosity present in our country, political violence should be dealt with severely, even more severely than so-called "hate crimes", which is precisely what such an act really is. Still, it's nice to those jerks in Multnomah County show some concern over the misdeeds of Antifa.
