It didn’t get too much press at the time, but last November, two Marines who were visiting Philadelphia claimed they were attacked by an Antifa mob. Now, The Daily Caller News Foundation is reporting that an Antifa leader has been arrested, thanks in part to their reporting on the story.

The Marines, Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, testified in December that a group of 10 to 12 Antifa members called them “Nazis” and “white supremacists” and attacked them on the street despite their denials that they had no association with the right-wing group demonstrating nearby.
During the attack, Godinez said he shouted “I’m Mexican” at the mob, which allegedly led the attackers to call him a “spic” and “wetback.”

Way to smash racism.
Alcoff is an organizer of Smash Racism DC yet was part of a group that allegedly yelled racial slurs at Marines …https://t.co/Umelq6cZoV

The Daily Caller notes that Smash Racism DC was also the group that mobbed Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s home last November as well as the group that chased Sen. Ted Cruz from a Washington restaurant in September.
Don't hold your breath waiting for legacy media to report on this …https://t.co/Umelq6cZoV

The Daily Caller reports that “Alcoff faces 17 charges, including multiple counts of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, conspiracy and terroristic threats, and one count of robbery while inflicting serious bodily injury.”
Lord, please let me run into him on the streets one day.

Seriously let this dude fight it out in a closed room with two marines no mask no sticks just him and two marines trained in interrogation. Of course all after he has had his day in court. Wouldn’t want to violate His rights

Good. These antifa are nothing more than domestic terrorists. They should be held accountable and not embraced by the left.

But they are "peaceful" protesters, right?

Antifa members are such a bunch of punk asses who are too stupid to realize that their “anti-fascist” group use fascist tactics! Go back to your parents basements!

Beating up Hispanic Marines is indeed an odd way to "Smash Racism".
