‘Terrorism cannot be tolerated’: Judge makes example out of antifa arsonist in federal firebombing case
 
A serial arsonist with antifa ties was sentenced Tuesday to nearly two decades in federal prison for firebombing a California police patrol car and attempting to torch a federal courthouse.

The 19-year prison sentence marks the longest one to date for an antifa-associated federal defendant. This comes as the Trump administration continues to crack down on criminal antifa activity, now deemed domestic terrorism amid mounting political violence concerns.
 
Casey Robert Goonan, the “nonbinary” co-founder of True Leap Press, a radical-left publishing collective pushing anarcho-communist propaganda, pled guilty in January to malicious property destruction by means of fire or an explosive. Goonan, who said he was inspired by the Hamas terrorists attacking Israel, confessed to carrying out a string of arson attacks last summer in support of Palestine.

According to investigators in the FBI’s domestic terrorism unit, he had posted pictures of his pro-Palestine handiwork on an anarchist blog, urging others to join the “student intifada” and commit similar acts “for Palestine” on Bay Area college campuses. Antifa militants often pseudonymously post on such websites to claim responsibility for terrorist attacks targeting law enforcement and government property.

Antifa is wired to the gills with all their social media and other online stuff, this will reverberate and hopefully start striking fear in their little terrorist blocs that this time there are consequences.

But will their screed be considered 'hate speech' in California?

That reaction will be telling.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

“The bottom line of this case is that it’s property destruction, and nobody was harmed,” one of Goonan’s defense attorneys, Jeff Wozniak, told San Francisco-based PBS affiliate KQED.

Sure not the bottom line.  How about the threat of murder, like shooting into a crowd indiscriminately?

Even in this: No one happened to be harmed... Arson/Explosives are not that discriminating. There could have been a security guard, or a bum in an alley, or any number of scenarios where folks could have been harmed in their persons. That negligence is more luck than sense.

Don't think a State Governor can pardon a federal conviction, only a State one?
