Today, the Justice Department announced that eight North Texas Antifa Cell operatives were sentenced for their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025. This is the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa following President Donald J. Trump's executive order designating the group as a Domestic Terrorist Organization in September 2025. Benjamin Hanil Song, who was convicted of the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. Together, the Prairieland terrorists received a combined sentence of 450 years in prison.

Hmmm... 100 and 70 years sentences for, 'attempted murder', eh?

Too bad they weren't the primary cause of 5 dead Police Officers while they were trying to overthrow the Government of the United States.

Then they could have been Paroled and paid Restitution.

Actually longer than Karmelo Anthony got for real murder.

They are Terrifed of Copycats.

The Excessive Sentences show a Real Fear of "Citizen Resistance" to ICE.

Which is an American Tradition, by the way.

Americans are historically willing to engage in Violence Against a Tyrannical Government.

It's Something Trump Encourages if it Benefits Him.

If he Fears the action he Imprisons the Perps for Centuries.

It's Very Totalitarian Actually.

That's so wild. You can stab somebody in the heart and get 35 years. The stakes of throwing fireworks at cops has gone way way way way way up.
